thank you, unelected House of Lords
Mar. 2nd, 2017 02:16 amTruly it is encouraging to reflect that while I still have a cold, and it is being inconvenient, I do not have a cold to the extent that at least one of my coworkers does. (She is currently at home, having had to go to the doctor.) So, hey. It could be worse. It usually can.
(We will ignore the self-destructively stupid part of one's mentality which half wishes that one's own cold would be that bad, so that one could go home and get fussed over and stuff. That part of one's mentality is never helpful.)
I'm very grateful that the Lords have stood up for basic decency and common sense, and voted to safeguard the rights of EU citizens in the UK. It shames me that this should be necessary. I still hope, on some level, that Brexit won't go through. O my country, you idiot.
