Inside Success and WeRBlighty have broken the law with their fundraising activities. So why are they are allowed to continue operating outside the capital's busiest railway stations?

My beloved father in law Ranjith Chandrapala drove a bus that stopped at Ealing Hospital. He continued to do so throughout the pandemicâs first wave until he caught covid himself and died, in that very same hospital. Many very ordinary heroes risked their lives for things others took for granted.

Takeaway from crazy news day: need to relearn lessons of Trump 2016 Ignore vast swathes of what passes for ânewsâ Trump wanging on about Greenland and Panama is noise. Ditto Muskâs latest disorientation post on X. Zuckerberg gutting content moderation and kissing the ring is signal though.

It's mostly this ^ . Trump himself - and now Musk - get endless amusement by watching 'the left' and most media get worked up into a tizzy about something they just pull out of their ass and post. Stop taking it literally. Stop fretting about inconsequential nonsense. >

There is an issue that a desire to Be Empathetic/See Both Sides often collides with human laziness to turn into "I will Do Empathy To You by choosing to imagine you in terms I find easy to empathise with - probably you're poor, that's why you did it! - not miserable confusing research".
