Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

The same people who told you this wasn't a Nazi salute are now telling you the plan isn't ethnic cleansing. 🤔

'settled' for what?? being a 3rd country, high living costs, no decent trade, giving up on climate change, stopping people moving or working in Europe, targeting the disabled, pensioners and the poorer, but supporting the rich. call that 'settled' we call it mindless and tragic!

Most people think leaving the EU was a mistake - but don't expect politicians to reopen the #Brexit question

Recommending private sector use for the NHS crisis is like recommending more alcohol for a hangover. Sure it offers a slight temporary reprieve - but you find yourself worse off tomorrow. It's time to break the cycle and invest in our NHS. weownit.org.uk/public-owner... @we-own-it.bsky.social

Remember folks, Growth doesn't feed hungry children or heat pensioners' houses. Only a redistribution of wealth will do that.

UK Chancellor does not want more reviews or consultations. It is a case of do what I say. Evidence-based policies or diktats? What chance of govt learning how policies affect people's lives? Rich get access to ministers (non-dom law to be revised) poor don't. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Of course it has. Labour has been bought by the corporations.

Hey, Siri: give me an example of political brass neck.

In no other area would 50k avoidable deaths not be billed as a national emergency. This situation has been hideously normalised and, in some ways, accepted, by various govts. Acute care should've been the priority for govt to address & here's the cold hard proof www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01...

With Nigel Farage and Reform UK again calling for the UK to leave the European Convention on Human Rights here is a reminder of why joining Russia and Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR is a very very very bad idea youtu.be/iSTN-h8NoyY?...

Mexico denied a US military plane from landing with deported immigrants today, foiling Donold’s plans.

In the olden days, we were supposed to be getting a major trade deal with the USA. Now it's looking more like tariffs. If only we had unfettered trade with our largest and nearest market to absorb some of the blow. How about it, Labour? Time to kill off Brexit. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

"Government decision not to authorise pesticide is ‘sweet as honey’ for pollinators" Good news. Labour have decided not to allow the use of highly toxic bee-killing pesticides ... which puts the UK on the same footing as the EU in that one small respect at least. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Exquisite

The quality of mercy is not strain’d, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. ’Tis mightiest in the mightiest, it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown.

What would Jesus do? This. Jesus would do this. God bless her and protect her.

FFS. The Labour Brexiters are just as delusional as the Tory ones! We've been here before. Anyone who places an illusionary trade deal with Trump over rejoining the Single Market has completely lost the plot! #RejoinEU 🇬🇧 🇪🇺

Socialism is when you have a fire service that can put out fires, a Police force that protects people and healthcare for all Capitalism is when your fire service can't put out fires, your Police is an army with handcuffs and you have Health Insurance that doesn't give Healthcare

Hilarious to hear Mark Zuckerberg thinks ‘Community Notes’ will work on Facebook, a place where the community raged at JD Vance being fact-checked in a debate. It’s the end of facts.

Just watched a brilliant advert on ITV. Beautiful song playing, wonderful photography, but sadly not a clue what it’s selling🥴😂😂 Play on Papaya it says whatever that may be, Showing my age aren’t I??

The billionaires got scared because people online noticed they’re taking over the world. So in response the billionaires will silence all those people talking about them online so they can more easily take over the world.

Great points from SNP MP Seamus Logan. Scotland produces more electricity than we use & does it in the cheapest way possible – renewables. Yet the price of electricity is pegged to the most expensive way of producing it – burning gas. We could have free power at times if London changed this rule.

Amazing how short some right wing memories are… news.sky.com/video/boris-...

This is important. 'We don’t know what that company is for but if Musk did want to pour £100m into the next UK election, as it’s been reported, this is how he could do it.' From the UK Government's website👇👀 find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/1613...

132 years ago this cartoon was drawn, and in 132 years the problem has only gotten worse.

As I read (yet gain) about a water company in billions if debt & still paying dividends, I shake me head. Shareholder companies should be legally forbidden to do so while they're running a deficit. You can only distribute a profit, money you earned - not money you borrowed.

Economy shrinks by a further 0.1% Brexit has cut UK trade by up to 15%... Immigration is much higher post Brexit But..the...boats🙄 WAKE UP and smell the roses...or take your kids' future further into the mire. Then explain how poor we all are in 20 years time Apart from the super rich of course

Have you noticed there isn't an overwhelming outcry to privatize health insurance in all the other places in the world? Maybe that should tell you something.

If the UK gets Private Health Insurance it will be as bad as in the USA. Because it is all the same US Companies pushing it in the UK.

Universal healthcare isn’t just a pipe dream folks. Early human societies thrived by sharing resources and caring for the sick to ensure collective survival. It’s already in your code!

The Conservatives stole £14.9bn from PPE alone. That is about 60m stolen phones, or 7 from every single person in London. Yet no one, not one single person is in jail.

Thames Water needs £3bn in 8 weeks or it goes bankrupt. It must go bankrupt, it must not get a penny from Government, it must not be allowed to raise bills. It is a private company, and it has private debts. Time go find out what happens when you can’t pay your bills.

Radical idea: no one should have to choose between their life savings and saving their life.

“Taking Britain out of the Erasmus+ programme was a huge mistake. Labour must rejoin and accept the EU’s offer of a youth mobility scheme” 👏👏👏
