She has to to avoid being sued. Read the community note on that post.
She admits those claims were false. Are libel laws and Sanctions limited In their application to only certain sectors of society? If so, why? Not very egalitarian.
As do II just play one on the internet tbh.
I had done, and tbh that had been one of my assumptions. As far as I know, you can still be found to have been libellous even if your statement was essentially true. Surely actually making an admission, even under duress, that the claimed libellous statement was false would enhance the chances of any law suit being successfull as reputational damage would already have happened. I’m not so sure there is much that could be said that could damage certain people’s reputations.She has to to avoid being sued. Read the community note on that post.

New fears Labour wants to scrap free prescriptions for over-60s in another blow
With elderly people already reeling from winter fuel payment cuts and pensions U-turns, it's feared more misery is on the way.www.express.co.uk
There appears to be a consultation paper on gov.uk although I can’t see any start or end date.
At least partly for balance, but also as an idea of potential consequence, there is this old article which shows the same idea occurred to the Tory bastards. If they didn’t do it, surely a Labour government wouldn’. (My Labour Party membership has already deluded me)
Scrapping free prescriptions for over-60s ‘could have devastating impact’
Health groups say move would leave many patients in England unable to afford medication, intensifying existing health inequalitieswww.theguardian.com
Whose £22bn is that? This lots or the last lots.Think that PDF is from the Tory 2021 consultation but can’t confirm. Can’t find any reference anywhere but that Express story which links to this Telegraph story:
Which just says some charity report has recommended it, nothing about government.

I think you’re OK for now.
I have no axe to grind here but I guess it's only natural for this to shift in line with current retirement age, for instance some sports venues are shifting it in an ad-hoc fashion, there's pressure to remove it entirely in a places,do I like it,no tbh but Wembley was offering 60. ,+ concessions last year affair.Whose £22bn is that? This lots or the last lots.
Isn‘t the issue that Starmer is refusing to rule it out?
I think you are right about the PDF. Why aren’t these things removed when no longer current, or at least clearly dated so that idiots like me don’t make mistake what’s going on.

Just think they haven't been aligned with the pension age changing!I'll be honest. It never even crossed my mind that you'd get free prescriptions before pension age. Is there any reason the two aren't the same?
You don't pay for prescriptions if you're unemployed so guess there's a fair case for anyone not at retirement age and in work to pay. Probably not the best time to have that discussion after the mess the winter fuel allowance has been.Just think they haven't been aligned with the pension age changing!
I think this is interesting and should imagine similarly true elsewhere in the Anglosphere
There seem to be no current plans for much really, There were no current plans to stop the WFA. Until there were.Last one. The article is from before the last budget.
I think you’re right though. This story is about a question in the commons with this reply:

That’s been taken as “not ruling out” still seems a bit Cov Tel style clickbait to me.

Just can’t be trusted.
It’s based on the last 6 months experience as I see it.But you accept there’s no reason to think they are and the story is clickbait?
Fine if you’re just generally suspicious. But this particular suspicion is based on nothing.
Why would Charlie from Casualty know about this stuff.Saw this. I’m not sure how well he’s controlling for WFH and just lockdown here. Some of these stats are in 2021.
Obviously something to it, just not sure the stats are as robust as he says.
Fair point. It is American data though so the lockdowns were a bit less intense, and probably likely to be adhered to differently by age group.Saw this. I’m not sure how well he’s controlling for WFH and just lockdown here. Some of these stats are in 2021.

I don't think this is surprising at all if it's saying what I think it's been happening since mid 70's, Thatcher did say there was no society,and by extension is it.Fair point. It is American data though so the lockdowns were a bit less intense, and probably likely to be adhered to differently by age group.

It's just the past and we're in the future,easier to manipulate than ever, more to follow.Yeah that’s true. And it’s definitely an issue. See the other thread about nightlife being dead. Or the incels who wonder why there’s no dating scene in their bedroom.
Is social media and home entertainment the worse thing to happen to humanity? Genuinely starting to think so.
Presumably WFH doesn’t help with feelings of isolation either.Yeah that’s true. And it’s definitely an issue. See the other thread about nightlife being dead. Or the incels who wonder why there’s no dating scene in their bedroom.

Well identity usually means that the off button gets selected?Presumably WFH doesn’t help with feelings of isolation either.
used to have so much fun at work when I was younger, all those centuries ago. Majority of social life built around it.
I’m sure I read somewhere recently that “younger” generations would rather communicate by text or email than voice call using a telephone. Bizarre to me.
How difficult would it have been to have said “we have no intention to review the list etc”.Last one. The article is from before the last budget.

It’s no wonder nightlife is dead, it’s so fucking expensive and will only get worse with the employers NI and minimum wage increase. Looking back, even Labour MPs dont understand the cumulative consequences of the government’s decisions as they “went wild” at the reduction in taxes on beer sold in pubs. I wonder what their local constituents have said to them about it.Yeah that’s true. And it’s definitely an issue. See the other thread about nightlife being dead. Or the incels who wonder why there’s no dating scene in their bedroom.

There is no burden on the taxpayer for anything. Get out of that mindset.People smugglers to see finances targeted by UK
The planned measures will target the finances of illegal smuggling networks, the Home Office says.www.bbc.co.uk
I really hope this works, perhaps proceeds could be used to offset accommodation costs and reduce the burden on the UK taxpayer.
I bet the Chinese are quaking in their little boots, bless them.
Struggling today withJust deleted Twitter and done my morning scroll on BlueSky instead. Still finding my people on it, but mental health is noticeably different not filling my head with racists, conspiracy theorists, and Americans shouting about taking over the world first thing I’ll tell you that.
I’ve always quite strongly believed in not shying away from things and not creating a segregated internet, but there comes a point where there’s just no benefit.
