One thing I've noticed is that no one has any information on how disabled will be able to access single use straws. I can't get any more in shops at the moment. They are available online but at eight times their normal price! What are we supposed to do? As usual the Powers That Be don't think anything through properly when it comes to disabled peoples' lives.

Thanks for the information.

Almost everything you buy in a pharmacy is more expensive than if you bought it elsewhere. If you deal with pharmacies by phone and get prescriptions delivered will they be able to deliver straws? How does a disabled person prove their entitlement to single use straws? GPs generally charge £80 for that sort of letter and good luck to anyone with a crappy GP who doesn't believe anything you say. I'm fed up of this and exhausted from fighting for what I need to survive.

1. Because of course nepotism is still sacred to such political parties, isn't it?

2. Jim Wright is not wrong here.

3. There are people who are planting these nightmares in the soil of the nations of the settler-made nations of what I was taught to call the Americas. From Whitehorse to Santiago...

5. What the actual HELL???

8. I keep thinking of unintended consequences, and as for disabled people who do need such straws, I am increasingly paranoid about the intended consequences, too.

9. Johnson's appointments to BBC, OFCOM, etc. are downright toxic, and these are the consequences raining down on viewers, listeners, readers and employees alike. And I notice that Russell T. Davies has gone public with his opposition to anti-trans doctrine and policies. This, right as he's resuming creative control over Doctor Who...where the lead character is now established this past half-decade as a trans person by way of Time Lord regeneration.
