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.
I think he wants Ukraine to fold so he can peddle his shitty inventions to Russia without pesky sanctions getting in the way, whilst styling himself as a great diplomat.
"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...
Lockdown has made me realise that people don't crave freedom, they instead crave a lack of responsibility to a sociopathic level. They are unwilling to consider a greater good nor anything else beyond the immediate effect on themselves.
Putin's special military operation to expand NATO is going well.
Losing time rather than money would be a stronger punishment for that kind of person, so lock him up for a while where he cannot enjoy any luxuries.
A decade of anti-benefits rhetoric and squeezes on living standards has fostered the belief that people on social security and low wages deserve a life of penury and boredom.
And death. Benefit sanctions have killed people by finishing off those with serious medical issues through sheer stress or driving others to suicide.

The darn hippies should be happy they have a job! Money is for rich people!
And then the losers were allowed to write history for the winners, hence a lot of historical myths have endured for so long, such as Clean Rommel, Asiatic Hordes and the apolitical Wehrmact.
'Traitor' is a much more fitting term.
