I wish other countries would understand, Americans did NOT want Trump. Elon Musk wanted Trump. Billionaires wanted Trump. Even if every part of the election was legitimate, Musk alone poured 50 BILLION $$$ into Trump's PR machine. Canadians don't even make $$ off TikTok! Other countries....

I think it’s so interesting how women are said to be mentally ill if she stands up for herself or in any way violates expectations but a guy who just fucking sucks is assumed to have a trauma disorder to excuse his character flaws when convenient and it’s not a liability whatsoever for him

Since 1980, under the Thatcherite policies, 2.8m social homes sold, 1.9m in England for £51bn. In 2024, England homes were worth £430bn. Councils didn't receive full sales proceeds, couldn't replenish housing stock. Vital depts closed. Social homes down from 6.8m to 5.4m. Huge housing crisis.

The housing crisis is manufactured. We can end it.

Wage cuts and the right to buy are to blame

This is typical fare for anti diagnosis thinking. People think that it is wrong to “label” children, but they don’t know how messy genetics is, nor how it does affect children in a disastrous educational system, where conformity is valued over everything else.

UK education has a massive blind spot. If your child is bright and neurodivergent (2e), there is almost no place for them. Too complex for mainstream. Too able for specialist. This isn’t a parenting problem, it’s a system failure. #EDUCATION #GIFTED #2e

In the face of deepening deprivation in the UK, socio economic conditions are playing havoc in communities. Undiagnosed ADHD is a huge problem, and unrecognised as a major factor of crime. Lack of early diagnosis and intervention is a problem. www.lukeclements.co.uk/parent-blame...
