@Huedenne @james_josh615 @BBCNews All these little tricks are being used to divide people and so the people don't unite against the open corruption across the West, it stops people uniting to ask why whatever we vote for we get the same results. It starts with children in schools.

@Huedenne @james_josh615 @BBCNews The equality that was roughly achieved in the 90s and 2000s has all been destroyed by the politics in schools. Girls are taught entitlement and victimhood. Its disturbing. When I was young, almost no one cared about gender, sexuality, race Politics has divided people on identity.

@MLoopyP @MrEthicalPie @kezia_noble @Sara78187546 Oh, no no, sorry, not my intention. The point I was trying to make was lots of people have children who they didn't teach how to behave then they claim its autism etc. Its convenient and means they excuse themselves for not setting an example and being good parents.

@Shetlander1978 @MrEthicalPie @kezia_noble @Sara78187546 Of course, but there are many families whose children *are* autistic. The way you wrote made it sound like lots of autism is just bad behaviour. When that isn’t the case at all. Normal developmental bad behaviour/lack of parental boundaries shouldn’t be in the same conversation.

12% of children in the U.K. have been registered with a disability. What on earth is going on?

@TheLeeleemu @MLoopyP @MrEthicalPie @kezia_noble @Sara78187546 It annoys me, must be worse for you. I hope you're getting the support you need, that's the other side of everyone trying to have an autistic child, it reduces services etc for those with actual autistic children.

@MLoopyP @Shetlander1978 @MrEthicalPie @kezia_noble @Sara78187546 Father of three, two neurotypical and one autistic/non-verbal with complex needs. With the challenges we face with our son, I get more annoyed than anyone with how people out there seem to be wanting to label their children due to potentially just behavioural issues.

@ErgoMinnow @edgaralandough It helps by being able to borrow against it (ie, you might can borrow more in UK if you already own a house), it removes any risk of future legal disputes with siblings etc, it removes inheritance tax (applicable in uk), it settles things in advance.

@Shetlander1978 @edgaralandough How does that help you while they’re alive? Inheritance tax doesn’t exist where I live lol

Inheritance is a dumb idea. Pass on your wealth while you’re alive. Kids don’t need help in their 50s to 70s. They need help in their 20s to 40s paying off debt, buying homes, raising children, and starting businesses.

@TweetHearts72 @edgaralandough That's a six and half a dozen thing. Some children will reflect negatively others with rose tinted glasses. My wife is a better parent than me but my older daughter sees me as the "good" parent.

@Shetlander1978 @edgaralandough Kids judge their parents unfairly. Often amplifying mistakes. Often forgetting one day they will also be old and their kids will model what they see.

@Huedenne @james_josh615 @BBCNews Hmmm... Not politics? Climate alarmism IS politics. Trans religion IS politics. Teaching foreign religions whilst using "culture neutral" terms for British Christian culture IS political. Teaching left wing BS about "toxic masculinity" IS politics. Just teach the 3Rs!

@Shetlander1978 @james_josh615 @BBCNews Most of what teachers teach has nothing to do with politics- teachers aren’t even allowed to express their political views to their pupils and they have to promote British values

@MLoopyP @MrEthicalPie @kezia_noble @Sara78187546 Crikey, yes, i am lucky. I know actual autistic children and their parents struggle to get diagnosis. The stress of the system, added stress of their child and trying to live and work. Utter nightmare in my view. But, the system is flooded with cases that clearly aren't autism.

@Shetlander1978 @MrEthicalPie @kezia_noble @Sara78187546 Perhaps (luckily for you) you have not had to navigate the UK assessment route for autism or tried applying for an EHCP or DLA/PIP. If you had, you’d realise that no, it’s not at all ‘easier’ for parents to believe their child is neurodiverse.

@MLoopyP @MrEthicalPie @kezia_noble @Sara78187546 That's what I mean, people try to blame bad behaviour on autism etc rather than accept children (&adults) behave badly sometimes. In my children's case, it is MY responsibility to try to help them deal with it. Some people don't understand its part if parenting.

@Shetlander1978 @MrEthicalPie @kezia_noble @Sara78187546 Autistic children aren’t ‘badly behaved’. They’re unable to regulate their bodies in a world that doesn’t understand their sensory, emotional & communicative difficulties. It can be like wading through knee high sand every single day, and never reaching the end of the beach.

@MrEthicalPie @MLoopyP @kezia_noble @Sara78187546 I have 6 children, all totally normal, all badly behaved at times. One is destructive, one is moody, you get it. I have to alter my parenting to deal with each child and each bad mood. Its tiring, it would be easier to say he or she is autistic. Sometimes I think its bad parents.

@MrEthicalPie @MLoopyP @kezia_noble @Sara78187546 It an "excuse." A lot of parents think they're bad parents if their children aren't perfect little angels, so bad behaviour "must be" insert condition here. I don't think it intentional, but its common for normal children to be labelled by their parents as some kind of excuse.

@Dearme2_ Stopping sugar. Seriously, cut out all processed sugars and you'll feel better within 6 weeks, longer term, it can cure depression/anxiety on its own.

Without drugs... what is the greatest weapon against anxiety and depression?

@BBCNews A crisis labour have created is the focus of their campaign? Interesting tactic. I believe this is called "gaslighting."

@2147mill Local meat from my local butcher and farmers. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!

This is a genuine question. When was the last time you bought something in the UK and thought: “that was good value!” Because I really struggle to think of one.

@DKlaus33 @AlpacaAurelius Condoms are only 90% effective. Other methods are higher.

@AlpacaAurelius What do you have against condoms? Please don’t bring up “micro plastics” or they aren’t “keto” friendly. 🤣

you know it's possible to have sex without a condom or birth control and still not get her pregnant right?

@AlpacaAurelius Anal?

@GrantCardone Really? How many babies wouldn't have been born without it 😅

Alcohol has no real value to mankind.

@allie__voss Not quite, but yes. There were always restrictions like access gates to the departure lounge, but, none of this nonsense of being searched and stuff.

As someone who never experienced airports before 9/11...was there truly NO security? Like you could just walk wherever like a train station?

@ErgoMinnow @edgaralandough Your parents could sign the house over you, with a condition they get to live in it until they die. Part signing it over is an idea too. You don't need to liquify your assets to give them away.

@edgaralandough I don’t think you get what inheritance is lol. I don’t want my dad selling his house while he’s alive so I can have money. Most people don’t have what they’re leaving to their kids liquid
