Conversely I’ve met people who were diagnosed as adults and who then blame everything they do on their ADHD - “you know, now everything makes sense about me!”.

Ditto with Autism, to be fair - you don’t get to excuse being an arsehole just because you’re not neurotypical, Dave.

It’s not a government body, so it can’t be official. The closest it gets is unofficial mouthpiece for the British Establishment™.

The BBC isn’t a government body and isn’t funded by taxes, it’s primarily funded by the license fee (and selling broadcasting rights overseas).

The internet has royally fucked the funding model - as everyone and their mum has equipment capable of receiving live broadcast tv, but unless it becomes an official government mouthpiece it’s unlikely to become something we pay for out of taxes.

Fair enough - I didn’t realise it was for visa requirements until I read the rest of the comments; my bile got the better of me…

I’ve worked for Fraser Group (in a very different capacity) and you absolutely have dodged a bullet; they’re an absolute shit show and are responsible for a large amount of the enshittification of the UK’s high street.

The owners are shitbags and the rest of the hierarchy takes notes and shit downstream.

Oh yeah, we’re gonna bring in some entry-level graduates, farm some work out to Singapore, that’s the usual deal.

So, it’s criminal to fire an individual after they join a union, but shutting a site is coincidence. Gotcha.

Is unionising not protected in Canada?
