@timdavies_uk And if they were Scots SAS, it would have been a can of Irn Bru and a Tunnocks tea cake

I was in line at the grocery store when the guy in front of me asked the cashier, “Do you guys hire?” She looked up. “Yeah, we’re always looking. Apply online.” He nodded. Paid for his ramen and left. Something about the way he asked made me follow him to the parking lot.
“Hey, you looking for work?” He turned. Surprised. “Yeah. Got laid off two months ago. Applications everywhere. Nothing yet.” I could see his car. Backseat full of stuff. Blanket. Pillow. He was living in it...
“What kind of work you do?” “Warehouse. Forklift certified. Anything really. I just need something.”
Pulled out my phone. Called my buddy who manages a distribution center. “You still hiring?” Put the guy on the phone. They talked. My buddy said, “Come in tomorrow. Ten AM. Bring your forklift cert. We’ll try you out.”
The guy hung up. Stared at me. “Did that just happen?” “Yeah. Show up on time. Work hard. It’s yours.” He grabbed my hand. Shook it hard. “I’ve applied to a hundred places...
Nobody calls back. You just… made one call. Why?”
“Because I’ve been unemployed. I know how it feels when nobody gives you a shot. Now you got one. Don’t waste it.”
Got a text two weeks later. Unknown number. “It’s the grocery store guy. Still working. Got my first paycheck. Getting a place next week. Thank you for making that call. You changed everything.”

I do wish people would understand this.
If a person is working full time and still needs universal credit, the benefit scrounger is the employer.
Zoe Gardner@ZoeJardiniere
I do think, though, that subsidising huge businesses like Tesco or Amazon or whatever paying poverty wages by topping them up with benefits is a model we should be working to move away from. No one in work should need state support. Make the bosses pay.

Israel is the definition of the terrorist state. That most European leaders continue to characterise it a liberal democracy reflects the sad state of European liberal democracy...
Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt@FranceskAlbs
It is painful to see what Israelis are doing to the Palestinians -soldiers, settlers, security, police, very tangibly. This is not a war. It is to torture a people: physically and psychologically. And it is part of their erasure.

While we were trapped in northern Gaza and the bombardment intensified, I decided to move to the south to escape death. There was an Israeli army checkpoint. When my wife, my children, and I crossed, an Israeli soldier shouted at me, telling me to lower my head to the ground. He ordered me loudly to say that Palestine does not exist and to say that I am a rat.
Sadly, I said it — I even said I was a rat. Not because I was afraid for myself, but because I was afraid they might kill my children in front of me, or kill me and leave my children alone after me.
I remembered this moment now, and today I say it openly: Palestine is our land, and you occupied it. One day it will be free. I am not a rat — and you know that. You were standing with your weapon in front of my children, while I had nothing but the clothes I was wearing.
I am not a rat, and Palestine is my homeland...
