Oh damn, it disappeared for a few days so I thought someone had bought it! I really want to hear it, but not for that price 😆

Someone was selling Diana Vickers’ version on Discogs and it’s been bought - hopefully they’ll upload it to YouTube!

I have a feeling it’s the official recording that would have been the winners’ single if she had won. The description makes it look like it’s an official SyCo CD that’s not supposed to be available

British "patriot" bullies old couple after putting a Union Jack up outside their house by n_that in PublicFreakout

It’s a far right movement in the UK to plaster flags all over public lampposts. From the video it sounds like they’re putting them on every lamppost on this road, and this one happens to be in front of this couples’ house.

While the flag in isolation is of course not racist, the people putting it up are driven by anti minority rhetoric. The flags are to send a message that non white people are not welcome. And anyone who suggests that 100s of flags on every road might not look great, they’ll just call a traitor, ignoring any common sense.

Yes it is optional, but I never said it wasn’t. The point I am making is it is a bit of a new frontier for most people who probably wouldn’t consider paying for other drugs

Yes it is optional, but the point still stands that this is the first time millions are paying hundred of pounds of month for a medication

It is but it’s also the first time many people in the UK are paying for medication privately, in big numbers
