The worst person you know will be vehement that guns are needed in the UK because ‘a good guy with a gun’ would have stopped the knifeman 🙃

I suppose it probably seems strange to an outsider but in a country where it’s the norm for every school, it didn’t feel like that to me at all. I see it more as an equaliser? In a way I also kind of miss not having to decide what to wear every day.

Honestly, my main concern about school uniforms is that I think they ought to be standardised and subsidised, because the expense can sometimes be a problem.

I got nasty long covid and because of that, I’ve been making sure to get boosters every six months. Life is still more difficult with the symptoms, so it sure wouldn’t hurt if there was a silver lining for my experience - like better chances against cancer!

I had a (quick) read but I don’t think it covered it - unless I missed something!

It would be interesting to learn the demographic breakdown of those perceiving the risk of female-named hurricanes - i.e. do factors like someone’s own gender, age, marital status, mean a more or less pronounced risk bias? or is it spread evenly?

Even if you take the morals/integrity out of it, I’d be so embarrassed to admit to even a trivial association with HP these days. God forbid 🥴

Anything that pushes up demand without increase in supply has an inevitable and unfortunate result… bigger mortgages are definitely part of that.

I’m British 🤷‍♀️ not saying it was the case everywhere but it was possible/within reach for a fair amount of people here, or at least one full time and one part time working parent.
