Why are there so many fake quotes on the "other" platform now? Every story especially football will have a semi believable quote from someone that's completely fake. It's infuriating. World Cup will be carnage.

😊 Do you believe in the promise made by our NHS that all will be cared for from cradle to grave? Then I ask you to support those of us trying to make sure that promise will be kept for generations to come. We should be following eachother Have a great Sunday ✊️ please 🔄

Was at local University and was struck by stat that 80% of this doing mental health nursing are over 31. Does anyone know why young people don't want to become nurses? Specifically MH Nurses?

This is an extraordinary episode of an amazing podcast. Could not stop listening. So timely to listen about Martin Luther King now. A decent (flawed of course) person. Who was met with absolute hatred from some of the worst people yes, but also from the public... Essential listening

Seems quite an old age argument. It was (is) inarguable that TV is bad as makes us more sedantry but no one is saying ban it. I guess the problem is moderating and the tech companies don't want to that as it costs money 😔

You don’t need to tell me! My kids are on medication that would cost £70k per year each without the NHS. We wouldn’t be poorer, because we simply wouldn’t be able to afford it, so we would just be battling symptoms instead.
