No. Unfortunately Tricky Dicky’s vote-winning “war on drugs” put paid to what used to be referred to as “the British system” where GPs could prescribe substances to those suffering with addiction in order to remove the pressure (on the addict as well as society as a whole) of acquiring the substance. Alas.
Finally!
A vocal critic of NATO’s war against Russia in Ukraine
Stopped reading there.
the article
Again, I wasn’t talking about the article.
the Telegraph
I was asking about OP’s comment, not the Telegraph’s article. Of course the Telegraph will include irrelevant detail in order to sensationalise (in their view) the story. Others repeating that irrelevant detail is questionable though.
She’s trans
Is that relevant?
“low-cut black corsets, fishnet tights with high heels and a gothic choker with a pentagram”
Paywall
But how will the director of the company that owns the pier pay the mortgage on his six-bedroom house if he goes around “maintaining” the boards?
Paywall :-(
There’s no point building 5G masts while our civilisation has started its irreversible decline. We should be building to help the next generations survive in a low technology world.
when Farage blames immigrants for the housing crisis, the BBC reports in it but the companies like Blackstone, who buy up vast swaths of Britain’s housing to rent, rarely, if ever, get mentioned.
It’s true that the media are a problem but that’s not to say immigration doesn’t also cause problems with housing. Last year (2023) there was a net 685,000 more people in the UK. That’s a ridiculous amount of people who need housing. I can say from experience that it’s an utter nightmare finding anywhere at all to live, and was so even before those hundreds of thousands of people turned up.
I really hope they are able to be effective with a “busting the gangs” strategy
No strategy to bust gangs is going to work while governments, including Starmer’s Labour government, insist on putting £10 billion a year into the hands of criminals through drug prohibition.
The mechanics are different but it makes no difference whatsoever to the sentiment. Everything Carlin says about American politics is entirely applicable to British politics.

Replace “America” with “Britain”, 100% the same.
No.
OK, I mean it doesn’t work as a metaphor.
I mean it doesn’t work as an analogy.
That’s not reality ceasing to exist. Or like it.
How on Earth did the woman “uncover” a mass grave? No details at all in the article. Typical BBC crap.
