While it’s great to see the variety of jobs people had before their current careers, it’s a little problematic for me as a disabled person. There were so many jobs I’d have loved to have done as a student but couldn’t because of ableist perception gap! – at Paddington, London

For decades, thousands of Irish unmarried mothers were detained in homes and had their children taken away. This is the story of one home, Bessborough, which stayed open until 1998. The govt launched a state inquiry. Will the truth ever be revealed? bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt…
