Todays word QUISQUILOUS worthless or trivial an obscure way of calling something rubbish!
Did you know (and I did not) that an E Scooter (unless from one of the trial rental schemes) is not aloud to be ridden on public roads, is subject to the same laws as any other vehicle and you have to have either a provisional or full driving license to ride one? The same rules do not appear to apply to E bikes although I have not checked.
I read that our PM is behaving as his usual hypocritical self having supported those who say the the England cricketer who was banned for historical racial tweets, treatment has been “heavy” handed by the England and Wales Cricket Board. Putting aside the cricket issue, this from a man who has written and spoken in a flagrant prejudicial way in the past and never acknowledged it was wrong or apologised for it. The player has issued a fulsome apology and regret his action from when he was a teenager. If only Boris could show the same contrition!
I have no problem with the UK as a “rich” nation providing aid to other less well off countries. During the days of Empire we raped and robbed huge parts of the world and it is only right we help. Having said that, is it right with so much wrong with our own country that we should not be spending that money here? I cannot recall, when in real terms, funding has increased for public services and especially for the social services, mental health and other vital support systems which in the past we had been so proud of!
It is not all about money. There are many more issues that require the help of a practical and organisational restructure to co-ordinate and integrate our services so that all the help is available everywhere. Someone with mental health issues may well have other problems. One major issue is not the only contributing factor to a persons situation and the whole has to be addressed.
Stay well
