Sharon @sharonm72.bsky.social · 13/10/2026If we'd always had wildlife on our banknotes and someone proposed putting historical figures on instead we'd be having the exact same discourse from them in reverse. It's just so tedious 020
Sharon @sharonm72.bsky.social · 27/09/2026This track was on heavy rotation on radio 2, 10m people in the UK will have heard it 220
Sharon @sharonm72.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Some people's benefits will be cut and they won't be able to offset this by no longer spending on alcohol if they never bought alcohol before. The spending restrictions seem to be a smokescreen to disguise benefit cuts 210
Sharon @sharonm72.bsky.social · 24/09/2026But where is the evidence that people receiving the benefit are currently spending it on, say, gambling? If they aren't currently spending on the things that will be prohibited it will just be a cut 110
Sharon @sharonm72.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The estimated savings come from a benefit cut, whether or not the recipient has ever bought cigarettes or alcohol - it's not an estimate of the amount people on benefits spend on these things 110
Sharon @sharonm72.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The article says the police were asked to stop investigating, but doesn't say who by - presumably by the suspect or his family - as if the police should stop investigating because the suspect doesn't like it 0190

Sharon @sharonm72.bsky.social · 30/08/2026This is such a perfect book, intriguing and just scary enough 000
Sharon @sharonm72.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Increase the speed limit to 80mph and actually enforce it with limiters - I think that might get support? 200
Sharon @sharonm72.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Not an analogy. You're legally allowed to get drunk, you're not legally allowed to drive above 70mph. Limiters would just enforce an existing law, not change what you can currently do 140
Sharon @sharonm72.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The questions are written so that if everyone answered correctly and promptly they would all get the same score (I have been a mastermind contestant, this is part of the rules you have to read and sign before filming) 1101

Sharon @sharonm72.bsky.social · 21/07/2026People seem to think that Londoners aren't real people, they think we don't have friendships and communities and extended families, they think we're all transient and rootless and don't care where we live, that Manchester is authentic and London is a fraud 010

Sharon @sharonm72.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Apologies, I thought the question was most enjoyed rather than best - people can enjoy books for reasons beyond quality of writing - I can see your point. But I do think the fact that lists are published might influence decisions 100
Sharon @sharonm72.bsky.social · 16/05/2026You're assuming they won't like books like that but maybe that's because you don't like books like that and you can't imagine anyone you admire doing so - but by saying this, you're demonstrating why people might not include them in public lists 200
Sharon @sharonm72.bsky.social · 16/05/2026You've picked very well regarded genre fiction writers there, but what if they wanted to include Dan Brown or Catherine Cookson - you think they wouldn't think twice? 100

Sharon @sharonm72.bsky.social · 17/04/2026I loved it and couldn't put my finger on what made it different, the absence of music is key, a really important decision 110
