iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I feel ludicrously maternal over the blue fluffy monsters(?) in the British Gas adverts. I think a John Lewis-esque Christmas advert with them in would emotionally wreck me (even more so, can you imagine?)

The “Cornell 7” framing rubs me the same way described in this thread. We usually use that language for people falsely accused of crimes. Personally, I’ll be going back to “the Cornell gang rapists.”

Healthcare is suicide prevention. Housing is suicide prevention. Childcare is suicide prevention. Universal basic income is suicide prevention. When we ensure people have their basic needs met, mental health improves.

This byelection is a cynical political stunt designed to deflect scrutiny around Farage's crooked finances. It won't change the fact that he failed to declare his links to criminals and cryptobillionaires or the outcome of the parliamentary investigation into him.

This latest immigration bill seems designed to make it impossible for refugees to rebuild their lives in Britain. The Home Secretary is heading down the same failed path as the last Tory administration.

bbc.co.uk

Refugees would be told to repay around £10,000 under new asylum bill

The Home Office will be given powers to recover costs from adults who have received asylum support under new laws.
