When I was a teenager there was a bus direct from my hometown in Germany to London - we had a British army base, and this direct bus connection was one of the benefits of that. One summer I went on that bus to go volunteer in an old people's home in Southend-on-Sea. I had just turned 18 and was... 🧵

Disabled Post Office Horizon scandal victim offered 15% of compensation claim Due to the illegal conviction for fraud she lost her home, served time in prison. No end to the misery. Why penny pinching? No culprit charged, forced to pay any compensation to victims.

having to complete a captcha to access the NHS app before it fails for a *third* time to complete the request for a doctor's appointment is giving me more thoughts about this Normal Island's abilities to safely implement any kind of blanket digital ID

"play d&d in a castle!" - my dude, my fellow, I play d&d in my sister's shed with easy access to a kettle. Unless your castle already has my extensive tea making needs met, it is a downgrade. If being old and cold made it better, I'd play in my bathroom.
