Good to see you back Bear. I think the UK press are slipping into the cesspool of X. Real journalists are now mainly independents. Boycotting those newspapers is my way.
Welcome back. Great analysis as usual, especially around piss poor planning and investment in the skills we need, yet another win for profit first neoliberal policy
Missed you and your Sunday morning posts, toast and coffee without, wasn't the same. Hope you're refreshed now and I look forward to reading your future posts. Take care.
Good to read your reflections today Bear and good to hear you've had a partial much needed break 👍🏼
Excuse me if I missed it, in which case just to reiterate:
Pensions are not a 'benefit'. Workers contribute through taxation to their working life pension 'pot'.

Glad you have managed to have a well deserved rest from writing and hope you feel better for it
Thank you for your observations, especially Reform policy on welfare

Reform, Farage, Jenrick, the right wing nut press all survive and maintain power by trading in spite.
Any group that can be othered and stigmatised is a target for them, grist to the mill. Self perpetuating and without responsibility.
I fear, with I think justification, that it will take a tragedy of huge proportions to turn the tide. Though it will come. Not soon enough though.

Welcome back. I hope you feel rested and refreshed. I’m glad you took this well earned break, you deserved it.
Hello 👋
You’re a busy Bear, you also need to take a break and look after you 😊
Thank you for this, great as always. Have a lovely sunny Sunday 🥰
PS: *I know November/December isn’t cold in SA!

First of all belated happy Birthday. We both clearly stemmfrom an era when winters were still cold*
Secondly, great to see you’re back online, we have missed you.
no doubt time will teach us more about Arday‘s death, Burnham, the abomination that is Reform and, multitasking.
Have a great Sunday!
