| What I thoroughly dislike morally and have utter contempt for intellectually is the Tory party's vacuous BS of 'He/she did well because they worked hard vs 'they're poor because they're lazy'. To a very large extent they ignore the genetic lottery of life and how that affects outcomes. |

| What do you think was nutty about Corbyn? Free broadband for all. Unilateral nuclear disarmament to name but two. If he's stayed on Labour would have been wiped out at the next election imo. There's nothing nutty about free broadband for all. Corbyn was the only good thing about Labour in decades. ... |

| An intellectually and morally bankrupt, self serving,odious and incompetent Tory party needs to be out of power for at least a decade. |

| I'm a mixed bag RE loneliness and the need for company. Most of the time I'm fine just by myself, in the sense that I don't feel overly lonely. However there are times when I do feel lonely. I've had very very few friends in the nearly 66 years I've been alive . I have no idea how to make friends. A... |

| Another reminder that while the adult and particularly non male adult diagnosis situation is a lot better we still have a long way to go. Unfortunately Shifra made the common error of seeing a psychiatrist instead of a psychologist for an autism diagnosis. Psychiatrists job these days is to diagnos... |

| Spoon theory. Just seems to be something used to emphasis how disabled a person is, but there's no concrete example of how many spoons are being used per task and disability. It's way too abstract and subjective. |
