As you can see, the British Governments cybersecurity is clearly unparalleled, and you absolutely can trust them to keep all your data, including photo ID's, NI numbers, and biometric data safe and sound when they mandate digital ID.
It's not as if official government organisations like the NHS have previously been found to be using windows XP years after microsoft discontinued it and ended support, which directly lead to a mass cyber security failure, and it's not as if the civil service pay head of cyber security positions less than the US pay restaurant managers. What could possibly go wrong?

@Nemuritai just seen that you're doing a readathon tomorrow - that's so cool! How are you feeling for it? Is that something you do in a specific place, or maybe it can be at home too?

Hey @so_very_tired , how are you doing? Thank you for your post. What you've described about how you know of people with disabilities being used for free labor and being immediately let go if ask for pay sounds deeply unjust, saddening, and frustrating. How are you feeling about your own journey after the internship, and I wonder how supported you've been feeling in the circle of people who know you, whether that's fellow colleagues, friends, or family?

Re: I have got a job but theres an issue
Congratulations @Redemption for landing a role, that's brilliant news to hear! You've had to overcome setbacks and worked really hard, so it's great to see that paying off in a role that works for you. Very proud of you not only for getting the role, but also persisting and not giving up in your job hunt!

Re: Social stuff
@Ech0 @Azziman badons r always badons as far as I'm concerned, too much damage has been done, I'm gd now I'm not there at the moment coz I got frightened and I sed I wanted to go to another country. I vented my thoughts to my social worker.and wen I was really struggling I went to a wellbeing hub which I think kicked everything gd off 😀😀
Re: Anybody want to vent or chat about anything? w/c 15.12.25
Aww that's amazing
I feel the same way, my stuffed animals have got me through a lot, and even though I know they're not alive they kind of have their own personalities, if that makes any sense 
Re: I have got a job but theres an issue
