Even if the message is, as you say, rather depressing!!
It was borderline therapeutic, I have been thinking a lot in the past few days about the situation we (Canada, Europe, the West) find ourselves in now.

The Daily Fail actually tried to spin this as woese than Truss because the overall borrowing is higher.
This is the graph they showed. Guess where Truss was in charge.

Another rough day in the bond market, Reeves is running out of room headed toward the March update. Labour are stuck between fiscal rules (if they chuck those, the bond market will go haywire), the commitment not to increase taxes, and the commitment not to cut spending.
They need growth badly.

and in other notes, Truss is upset with Starmer for saying that she did what she did

I would really like to see this carry on and see where it goes.
Might be a fun distraction from all the other crap.
Stop saying I did the thing that I did!

Tense morning around the government I would guess, looks like the yield has hit a little bit of a plateau this afternoon. I saw some speculation that spending cuts might be required to start bringing it down. Gut check time.

Watching the lunchtime news, my jaw just literally dropped.
Why is it even up for debate who is responsible for toilet training a kid?
The world has gone fucking mad
Iâve just checked the BBC, the Guardian and the Times, and there is nothing that refers to anything like this.
Can you point to the story, or is this going to be another @Dane special, where a story youâve misunderstood or isnât even true, is a cue for you to launch another diatribe about how the world has gone mad?
It was on the ITV lunchtime news.
Just because you didnât see it doesnt mean it wasnât on.
Careful you donât hurt yourself getting off your fucking high horse.
Guardian you say?
Iâve seen snippets of pre schools phoning parents to come in and change nappies because staff are (Iâm guessing) not permitted to do so.
Pretty easy to join the dots as to why this situation has arisen.
Not sure if its the same story
Edit beat me to it.
âone in four children in England and Wales were not toilet trainedâ
dafuq !

Iâm not saying you didnât see a story on the news. But you have a track record of turning stuff like this into some kind of sub-Clarkson âyou couldnât make it upâ thing. I know you were probably desperate to get to the bit where you say âthe world has gone madâ but it would have probably been helpful to provide a link or at least some context.
Probably the difference between us, is that you see shit parents and I see a collapse in the kind of early years social structures that would have addressed this problem.

Probably best to avoid talking about track records 
Letâs leave it then, and Iâll look forwards to your next post about the world going mad based on something youâve seen on the news that you canât be bothered describing for us.
