While I see the good bits of Proportional Representation, it does give extremism a foot in the door. Remember this is the voting pattern in a FPTP system, one of the tabloids even encouraged reform voters to switch to the Tories because of tactical voting. Changing the voting system gives these far right anti human rights parties a much better chance.

I’m always surprised by governments who keep the same leader for a long time. In the UK we got 3 in a year once, none of them do a full term, or not for a long while.

This was a very odd interview. I’ve never heard her speak before but she seemed quite confrontational a few times. I was surprised.

You’re comparing people who strip rights from women and minorities to people who believe in equality and trying to say they’re both as bad as each other. This is only true if you believe that some members of society should be treated badly at least a bit.

It’s a bizarre take.

This explains what is going on a facebook.

This is awful. Foster caring is such an important job and assesments should rule out people who want to steal babies from their families.

That’s not normal. Foster placements are almost always intended to get the child home. The parents don’t stop being the parents and usually have a list of conditions to follow, this might be drug testing, improving the home, etc.

It can be quick, a couple of weeks, but it’s often slow. With having to get off drugs they have to do X amount of weekly drug tests to prove they’re long term clean, 6 months isn’t uncommon for serious addicts.

This baby was intended to go home and they knew it.

Not quite this but a young newsreader a few years ago had a glitch and started talking gibberish.
