Frank ReiffThe UK is also pretty much alone in the practice of treating ministers like middle management: one day you’re Health Secretary, the next you’re Defense Secretary, then you’re Chancellor. This only works when ministers follow advice from their civil servants. When a minister who has no expertise or even basic understanding of their department starts taking decisions based on what a think tank says.. well it ends in mini-budgets that explode the economy.. “but they were so convincing!” #ukPolitics

A quiet voice in the storm. Raging about the injustice in this instance of the Matrix but mostly just screaming into the void. Ageing software dev semi-retired and living by the sea.
Football fans at #theworldcup interviewed on the radio getting angry about the alcohol bait and switch in the stadiums in #Qatar but relaxed and comfortable about the authority's LGBTQ+ stance and the exploitation of the stadium construction employees. It's a funny old game.
This is what I like the best of all about my beloved Wales. We never forget to "keep a welcome in the hillsides". #wales #welcometowales #walestourism

MartinLewisI think after considering it carefully, this is my last post on Mastodon... until Monday.
Have a lovely weekend.
KuJoe 💞So many people are having a bad first experience with Mastodon because they're using the official app which is lacking features, doesn't allow image uploads randomly, has random slowness, and doesn't give you easy access to the two most active feeds where you can find people (Local and Federated).
Please switch to Metatext, Tusky, or Tooot for a better mobile experience (or even use a browser).
Out of the >15k users that joined this week, over 11k are on the official apps.
