When it takes effect next year, children and teenagers will only be able to check out books that correspond to their age group; they will need permission from a parent or guardian to check out “adult” books.
Will the bible be in the adult section? It's full of every kind of smut and crime you can think of.
I love it when the ~~DWP~~ Aktion T4 question if I'm still autistic or not. Believe me, I wish I could stop being autistic and not have anxiety over very normal things and sudden changes. Even the initial application for PIP or DLA was a nightmare as an uncaring system was not convinced I was autistic despite all of the evidence provided by my GP. They very nearly ran me out of money when I got sanctioned without realising it, followed by a year of further paperwork battles as the ~~DWP~~ Aktion T4 continued to deliberately misinterpret everything.
Then there's a lot of anti-welfare crap swirling around the internet, so I sometimes feel guilty about claiming anything even though I know it's legitimate. People are salivating at the idea of the DWP having enforcement powers, checking where you go on holiday (even though a flight can cost less than a train ticket) and other intrusive measures.
Currently I'm at risk of losing my ESA since they decided to question my autism again and want to do a phone interview, which is exactly what I struggle with, so thank god there's people who can support me with that call. Honestly, if I had to fight the DWP alone, I probably would have lost all of my benefits and offed myself by now. It's tough enough even with my really good support network.
"Today we are sending a clear signal to young people that there are consequences for misusing drugs. Both users and dealers will face the full force of the law for their actions,"
Criminalising the users has worked so well with other drugs, hasn't it? The war on drugs will be won any second now...
Putin's special military operation to expand NATO is going well.
Won't somebody please think of the CEO!? Spare a thought for the investment portfolio!
Israel has its own military industry that is very advanced and substantial, shaped by their forever war, so I'm sure they can get by without US support for far longer than Ukraine currently can.
I fear that the UK might try to join this list not just out of authoritarianism, but out of a fear of technology they do not understand. Worse yet, the Conservative party once threw around the idea of banning encryption in its entirety and acted like WhatsApp is only used by criminals.
I'm sure they're already planning a traditional riot as I type this comment.
B-but state healthcare is literally commie-socialist-woke-liberalism!!11!1
A new age of anti-intellectualism awaits us.
The darn hippies should be happy they have a job! Money is for rich people!
'Traitor' is a much more fitting term.
