The problem w Miranda Hart isnā€™t that she ā€žovercameā€œ her illness or that people are begrudging her. Itā€™s that sheā€™s on national television, telling everyone that she walked her way out of it. That echoes what garner and all the other bps people say. It can be harmful for a lot.

The ones who are the sickest of the sick, the ones who are ā€œchoosingā€ euthanasia, are not in a position to go on Celebrity Traitors to explain how ā€œfatiguing illnessesā€ work.

Miranda Hartā€™s new memoir on chronic illness seems very well intentioned but this pseudoscience is worrying. If youā€™re writing a book after youā€™ve recovered, thereā€™s a particular responsibility to be accurate to readers who are desperate to recover too.
Hart goes further. She writes of ā€œthe clear scienceā€ linking chronic stress to the onset of long Covid, ME and chronic fatigue syndrome. Yet the science on long Covid is very new and often divided. Hart says, of all these conditions, ā€œthe cause and the solution are in the brainā€™s heightened stress response.ā€ She leaves no room for dissent. Where has this assertion come from? Without careful citation of sources, as, say, one finds in Dr Chris van Tullekenā€™s recent Ultra Processed People, we have to take Hartā€™s word for it.

If a woman wearing a ā€œRelease the Epstein Filesā€ shirt makes you angry enough to join a group of men in beating the shit out of her, Iā€™m going to assume youā€™re all fucking pedophiles too.

1/3 Too many shocking accounts of appalling treatment of patients with #ME continuing to emerge. Despite some advances in recent years, the patient community has yet to change an entire culture. Until that happens, there will be little substantive change in attitudes/treatment...

In 1981 eight unimaginably brave souls put to sea in murderous conditions because a call went out. They sought neither reward nor praise. They were @RNLI and they were the best of their community. Support your local lifeboat

Wenn du mit einer Bekannten spazieren gehst, deren Tochter (18) ebenfalls an #mecfs erkrankt ist, und das GesprƤch kreist darum, dass die Tochter assistierten Suizid beantragen mƶchte, weil es KEINE Therapie und KEINE Perspektive gibt ā€“ dann ist die Welt grausam aus den Fugen.

The RNLI isn't subsidised by the taxpayer. Some people seem to be getting them mixed up with Eton, Harrow and Winchester.

So-called ā€œpatriotsā€ are now trying to find the HOME ADDRESSES of @RNLI volunteers. Read that again. People who give up their time to launch into dangerous seas and save strangers are being personally targeted for doing it. This isnā€™t patriotism. Itā€™s intimidation.

We need to talk about the radicalisation of the elderly. They are not well equipped to handle social media fake news

Throw a milkshake at farage and Reform will claim its an assassination attempt. Assault a women with a weapon and reform response is "Boo hoo" The hypocrisy is wild.
