We have an update on the mission to persuade the Mini Nazi away from the dark side!

Read the thread here, then scroll down, I'll add the news below.
It's kind of worked.

The Mini Nazi has decided (and believes it to be his own idea) that he wants to be...

*Drumroll*....

A car engineer/ designer.
So Little One has informed Mini Nazi that he's going to need to be good at maths.

"Did you offer to help support him with maths?" I asked.

"No", said the Little One, "this is where Wilbur* comes in"

It turns out Little One has previously recruited the class "brainiac" too...
I didn't know about this but Wilbur* (not real name of course) was apparently previously persuaded to lend support to the mission to persuade the Mini Nazi towards engineering and away from violence, on account of being impressively good at STEM subjects.
So Little One is now providing lots of encouragement and ego-massage for the Recovering Mini Nazi, and Wilbur has taken on the role of providing better explainers of how to do the rough maths questions, to help the target acclimatise to his new challenge... Get good at STEM.
It will be interesting to see if Mini Nazi can be persuaded in the long term to stick with car design as a dream goal, over violent warfare and industrial cruelty.

I'll report back when I know more!
PS. If you are the Little One's teacher and you are reading this... Little One doesn't look tired tomorrow, on account of not having been allowed to stay up late to watch Mulan tonight. None of this happened and this whole thread is your imagination, k? 💛

I have been polite and I have been nice for a Really Long Fucking Time at this point (over a year). My patience just wore out.

At first I didn't have anything but defence for Keir Starmer because the initial Tory attacks were both bollocks and within my capacity to refute.

1/
Then I kept my mouth shut, because God knows, when the man *I* had wanted to see lead got elected, the little bitches really should have kept it zipped, and I, being a better person, decided to extend courtesy to them such as they had denied me. "Give him a chance" they said.

2/
And it wore on and I felt like had given it a chance to be fair, and another one, and another one, and where was Keir? Where was the opposing?

Then the Free School Meals debate, which was probably the one important time KS and I aligned.

It was frustratingly fleeting.

He's right.

It shouldn't take an Oxford educated, white, middle aged, privileged male pillar of the scientific press to get ill before any patient gets taken seriously, but now that @GeorgeMonbiot has arrived, perhaps at last, we can DO SCIENCE on #MECFS

When we DID SCIENCE (in the rest of the world in the last 2 decades, just not in England) we discovered biomarkers. We discovered findable, physical signs, that show measurable changes are present in multiple systems.

Yes. ME has been found. You didn't know that? Ask why not?
To be explicitly clear here, so you can be in no doubt, the words "immunological, cellular and neurological abnormalities" here tell you what has been found.

Biomarkers.

Broken things that show up if you look in the right places.

Immune system broken things. Cells. Nerves.

Ah fuck it. The handle that adjusts the seat height in the car has snapped. Worse still it has snapped at the setting RD uses- not the setting I use. I have sent RD out with a set of grips to put it where I use it and banned him from driving it. He's sulking. Tough. He can walk.
It means it has to be fixed before school reopens on Monday or I have to do the school run myself and realistically I can't.

We are now trying to work out if it can be fixed.
Bad news. If your car seat is designed to move and no longer does, it will fail the MOT.

We have established the worst case scenario- replace the seat entirely. Looking at around £110 if it comes to that.

Still researching if a less nuclear option can be identified.

Oh My God.

I need to sit with the ramifications of this one for a while.

The fake-science that for years told ME patients they were either deluded or malingering... Was funded/supported by the DWP... So they could legitimise economic violence.

CAN WE RIOT YET FFS???
Just look at this.

The DWP apparently never before or since, funded a clinical trial.

Just this one.

This specific one. Image
Now look at this...

Data collected by Jan 2010.

All published 2011... Image

Nearly forgot to tell you a freshly arrived tale about the Little One's exploits at school (with the boy who thinks he wants to be a Nazi).

Remember LO had an altercation with a boy who wants to be a Nazi? LO slapped him over it.

They had to work together on a project...

1/
Kids were put to work in pairs (not of their own choosing) to make a cardboard model of a village. They could put things into the village that they wanted to see there.

LO wanted to put renewable energy into the village and a badger set.

Mini Nazi didn't. (MN for short).

2/
MN wanted to build a military base and a bridge. The tiny foes were individually working at opposite ends of the village.

LO built some solar panels, before *accidentally* totally wiping the military base off the map, glue and all - then somewhat damaging the bridge too!

Policing in Britain has traditionally been by consent. Attacking peaceful (if disruptive) protests crosses a line into policing by force.

That this approach began in multiple police forces simultaneously right as the bill went to the vote, suggests it's new UK wide strategy.

1/
If it is a new UK wide strategy the only person who can be directing it, is Patel, as Home Sec.

Bristol didn't fall in line on the correct day (Fri 12 March- the Clapham vigil). Sussex did and the Met did, that's why their protests went sour. Bristol didn't right away.

2/
Here is a very senior officer at Avon & Somerset police, just coincidentally dropping by, to pet the lovely horsies, at 4pm today.

Today's police actions were purely responsive, yep yep, not pre-planned in person, this afternoon, and set up, to make a point, nope nope.
