The DWP ignored reports that linked the suicides of 600 disabled people to them failing “capability assessments” in just a 3 year period.
And yet Jeremy Cunt and the rest of the tories are targeting the sick and disabled once again with their “back to work scheme”. Fuck those arseholes so much. I used to say I wouldn’t wish lupus on anyone, but Tory politicians might just deserve it.
I returned it to the supermarket and the checkout lady put it straight in the normal bin in front of me! I was referring to the packaging more though - a box, a leaflet, a sealed plastic bag thingy, plastic labels that have to be removed, a little plastic stopper for the mouth piece. You’re meant to get 600 puffs per vape but every one I tried died after 2 days. That’s a huge amount of waste compared to the one bottle of juice I recycle each month and the coil I throw out every two-three months.
I vape, it’s how I quit smoking. I’d prefer to smoke, but it is the lesser of two evils, and I would encourage anyone who smokes cigarettes to switch. I recently went on holiday, smashed my vape and couldn’t find a replacement. I ended up buying the disposable kind from a supermarket for the first time and I was honestly shocked at how wasteful the are - so much unnecessary plastic that goes straight into the bin. But I was more shocked by how clearly geared towards children the disposable kind are - the bright colours, the flashy lights, the super sweet flavours, the high nicotine content. The one I bought was called YOLO ffs.
You see this way of thinking about poor and disabled people too, as if being unfortunate enough to require government assistance means you lose your agency too.
Didn’t the government just announce longer/more custodial sentences for shoplifters?! Free the rapists but lock up the petty thieves.
I could have sworn his injuries weren’t deemed life threatening when this was first reported. Doubly heartbreaking for his family.
That might be the worse website I’ve ever tried to open. Even in reader mode it was impossible!
That’s the price for the US I think. It doesn’t give a price for the UK. Google tells me that flu jabs in the US cost around $70 without insurance. Like you said, flu jabs here are £10-15 for those not eligible for free ones. If the covid jabs follow the same pattern they shouldn’t be more than £20. At least I really hope that’s the case, £100 a shot will surely out-price 50%+ of people that pay for flu jabs.
I’m not very tech savvy, but I’m a mod of some fairly large communities hosted on feddit.uk. Can someone ELI5 what, if anything, I need to do to keep my communities up? !badrealestate@feddit.uk is the one I’m most keen to keep going.
