We all know first past the post is an unfair voting system which produces governments the vast majority of people in the UK – and certainly Scotland – haven't voted for But does it have much more to answer for than we realise? 🤔 Data analyst Stuart Donald shares his thoughts

What if we replaced Ker Starmer with someone who does exactly the same things but says "workin' people" instead of "working people"?

أقوى مداخلة سمعتها في حياتي! نائبة رومانية في البرلمان الأوروبي ضد إسرائيل: "لن أكون دبلوماسية في الحديث عن غزة، إذا قتلتم أطفالي، ساقـ.ـتلكم. تتحدثون عن روسيا وتتجاهلون ارتكاب إسرائيل أبشع تصفية جماعية في التاريخ. نجلس هنا ونتفرج على إسرائيل وهي تقتل الأطفال وتجوعهم"

Many of them didn't. Your great-great-grandmother was probably drinking opium for her nerves, sold at the corner shop as cheap as a pint of beer. It was called laudanum, a mix of opium and alcohol that doctors handed out for anxiety, sleeplessness, and "women's troubles." Mothers fed it to crying babies. The babies often stopped crying because they stopped breathing. The men drank. By 1830 the average American was putting away almost two bottles of liquor a week. Whiskey cost less than coffee or milk. People started their day with a shot and ended it with another. Toddlers drank from their parents' rum mugs. ADHD has a long paper trail. A Scottish doctor described kids who couldn't focus in 1798. By 1846 there was a popular German children's book about a boy called Fidgety Philipp who couldn't sit still. In 1902, a London children's doctor named George Still wrote a famous paper on the same kids and called it a "defect of moral control." Same kid, three different centuries. Depression and anxiety had old names too. Melancholia, hysteria, the vapors. Treatments included bloodletting, ice baths, and chaining people to a wall. By 1937, American mental hospitals held 451,672 patients and took up more than half of every hospital bed in the country. Inside the walls, about 1 in 10 patients died each year. Then came the lobotomy. Between 1949 and 1952, around 50,000 Americans were strapped to a chair while a doctor hammered an ice pick through the thin bone above their eye and wiggled it around inside their brain. It took about ten minutes. Sixty percent of the patients were women. About 1 in 20 died from the procedure. Many of the ones who lived came out with no personality left. The man who invented the procedure won a Nobel Prize. Britain's male suicide rate hit 30.3 per 100,000 in 1905. The lowest rates ever recorded in British history are happening right now. Plenty of our ancestors didn't make it. They drank themselves dead. They overdosed on shop-bought opium. They got locked in asylums and never came out. They had picks driven through their eye sockets. They killed themselves in numbers we don't see today. The conditions were always there. The treatments just used to be worse than the disease.

How did our ancestors survive without ADHD medication or depression pills and anxiety meds? Can anyone explain?

I really hate the “no person who works a full-time job should live in poverty” discourse. It should simply be that nobody deserves to live in poverty. We have to let go of the idea that we work in exchange for our worth. People are innately worthy and deserving of the basics.

A non-existent day for a non existence event. The only catastrophe was Arab leaders going to war in 1948 and trying to genocide 600k Jews three years after the holocaust. 3️⃣ reasons why Arabs (not Palestinians) fled in 1948: 📌 War broke out and they were scared so they fled 📌 Arab leaders exaggerated what Israelis were doing, and they scanned their own people, and they fled 📌 Israeli forces expelled Arabs from certain areas These are facts. And, their hubris has kept them and Palestinians locked in this dance of jihadist death ever since. Meanwhile, Israel has advanced to one of the most powerful armies, and technological powers in the 🌍 Finally, you have brought violence and JEWHATRED to Jews in NYC.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed. Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

Thread: Let's be clear: the Josh Simons - Burnham stitch-up is a way for the Zionist movement to fully 'own' Burnham and his premiership.

You are either anti-zionist or you are 'israel' first. Your track record is rather horrendous: - Voted in favour of the British invasion of Iraq. - Joined Labour Friends of 'israel'. - Said your first overseas visit would be to 'israel' when you ran for leader. - Called BDS movement 'spiteful'. - Praised 'israel' as a 'democracy that has a long history of protecting minorities and promoting civil rights' and said the Balfour Declaration was 'an example of British values in action'. - The Tories praised you for being effective at privatising the NHS as health secretary. Sounds like a Sellout Streeting 2.0. Same lobbies. Same masters. Different faces.
