I went undercover on Jeremy Kyle show in 2008 & found a vulnerable mentally ill young man being bullied & abused. Now someone’s dead. Amazed it took this long
theguardian.com/media/2008/sep…
I went to outdoor filming of Jeremy Kyle show & met woman whose stepson was being booed& jeered on stage. He had bipolar disorder & paranoid schizophrenia, she said. And she’d spent all morning pleading with the producers not to put him on air. They did it anyway
...what’s striking now is the similarity between this story & what I’m writing about now. The show had mainstreamed bullying & abusive behaviour & it was impossible it was to hold the execs responsible for it to account. They got away with it. Because they could

Who backs Nigel Farage? Arron Banks. What business is Arron Banks in? Insurance. Who will profit from the privatisation of the NHS? He will. Make no mistake. This is coming.
This is not a secret. It’s in plain sight. Brexit means the break-up of the NHS. And as it stands, Labour is not just on course to oversee it but to facilitate it

Why is it so hard for left-wing politicians to make left-wing case against Farage, Johnson, Trump? It’s baffling. If Labour want to back the criminals who subverted our laws for their own enrichment at the cost of our welfare state, well g’luck to them. Other parties get it

Bank Holiday thread: some points to those saying that whatever happens next has to be about future & not past. As much as we’d all like to put the EUref in a box & bury it, it’s not possible. What happened in 2016 is going to play a crucial role in whatever happens next...
Nigel Farage is not hanging out at West Kent golf club in his spare time. And his referendum campaign did not succeed because of a bit of British pluck & some Blitz spirit. It was intimately entwined with these two men. Who are not going anywhere
There’s idea among political class that it’s a ‘mistake’ to ‘harp’ on about EURef. And that ‘you can’t tell people they were duped.’ But all this shows is a fundamental - if understandable - failure to understand this complex story. And why it’s so vital that we know the truth

Exciting. Cambridge Analytica’s Alexandra Phillips now an MEP.
Shame she wasn’t asked a single question about her valuable work subverting Kenya’s democracy. Oh well.
This is too good. I assumed a mistake but no: @BrexitAlex is the Brexit Party’s Alexandra Phillips. Whereas the Green’s Alexandra Phillips is @alexforeurope. She’s the one who has not subverted any democracies. As far as we know

1/ “They’re not taking the suicides seriously.”

Rural East Texas has some of the highest suicide rates in the state. But the safety net for people who need help is being stretched thin, and some Texans are falling through. texasobserver.org/warning-signs/
2/ @collins_reports spent more than a year examining the problem. The investigation found that as suicide has quietly gripped many communities here, the state’s mental health care system is being stretched well past its limit. texasobserver.org/warning-signs/
@collins_reports 3/ In Gregg County alone, 335 people died by suicide from 1999 to 2017, according to the most recent federal data. The county had a suicide rate of 15 deaths per 100,000 people in that time period, compared to the average state rate of 11.4. texasobserver.org/warning-signs/

(Thread) There’s such a big problem with gender dysphoria treatment in the UK. The NHS clinics are underfunded and oversubscribed and the years long waiting lists leave people suffering from GD without any support in the mean time.
We’re essentially told by the clinics , “we’ve received your referral, you’re on the waiting list, we’ll get back to you in X years 👋” and then we’re left on our own, with no psychological support in dealing with our dysphoria.
At 18, I resorted to private healthcare, because I couldn’t cope with my dysphoria on my own during the wait for the NHS clinic. The private clinic I went to gave me two assessments from two different professionals, and then, at 19, I was given a prescription for HRT.

Until now, the only SEO space where AMP was kind of "mandatory" was on news: if you want to appear on the "Top stories" box, you kind of need to have your articles to use AMP. You can appear there withouth AMP, but you don't get the same visual benefits #AMP #SEO .
Now Google is bringing "Stories" (like Instagram Stories, Snapchat Stories, etc.) to search results. They just announced it at #ampconf (see ) #AMP #SEO
This means that for certain kind of queries (by now: travel, and later also gaming, movies, tv and fashion) the first result will get another "special box" called "Visual Stories" where you can only appear using not only AMP, but AMP stories #AMP #SEO

I was part of the rescue movement in the 1980's. As my sentence for blocking access to a Planned Parenthood clinic, I chose 60 hours of community service in a homeless shelter along with several members of my college.
I went in there believing all the propaganda I had seen on the news: that homelessness was Ronald Reagan's fault, the homeless are just like you and me, we're all just 1 missing paycheck away from homelessness, etc. etc.
So from Nov. to Feb. of 1987-88, for 6 hours over 10 weekends, I was inside a homeless shelter in the city of Minneapolis.

And I quickly lost a lot of my illusions about the homeless.
