5 privileged thrill-seeking men pay £200k to view a sunken boat; navy, air force, coast guard, state air guard rescue, front page news
500 desperate safety-seeking people pay everything they have to risk a sunken boat; 100 kids dead, no rescue, news silent
Humanity is wrecked.
@beverleyturner Isn’t the point that with a basic income people will hopefully be able to follow vocational paths (nursing, caring etc etc), which are currently too poorly paid to be appealing to enough people?

After last night's appalling episode of #bbcqt, today I've emailed @BBCR4Feedback to express my concerns about Fiona Bruce's inability to properly or fairly chair @bbcquestiontime panels, & about the disproportionate number of right-wing panellists.
Full email below:
@GailHanrahan@RoseUnwin Oh my goodness, my heart has just melted. I was going to have a scroll through Twitter, but will stop right here as nothing can top that photo this evening 💖
What would happen if all the women running school summer fairs went into politics? They’re fucking dynamite and they know how to get shit done for no money, when no one wants to do it, no messing. Let’s quit our tombola-discussing whatsapp groups & sort out the country instead.
In March, our #NissanQashqai suddenly died! THREE independent garages looked at it & said this shouldn’t have happened to a car that was only 6yrs old & with 41,000 mileage. @Nissan Westway said it needed a new engine & quoted £6,000 - 😳.
My husband, who had unexpectedly lost his job, asked Nissan for a goodwill gesture. They came back & said they would cover parts & we should cover labour. Except now it suddenly didn’t need a new engine (sound fishy?!) so parts would only cost £1,000 vs labour of over £2,000 😰
For FOUR MONTHS, we haven’t had a car & haven’t been provided a courtesy car by @Nissan. 4 MONTHS of trains & taxis to work, having to pay for food deliveries etc. But icing on the cake is being ripped off by a large car giant over the poor quality of their car. So disappointed!
