People with MS in Shetland to get free gym passes People with multiple sclerosis in Shetland are to get free gym memberships.

Would be good if this was rolled out nationally. Help us help ourselves and ultimately save the Govt money

Totally agree. On the one hand I use a mobility scooter, but on the other I haven't accepted that I'm disabled

Very annoying. Why is there any mention of what Trump wants to call it outside of the US?

That's a post that only people with MS would understand. When you have unexplained symtoms and think that you might have a brain tumour, then MS diagnosis isn't that bad.

Happy Christmas everyone. As every day passes it becomes clearer and clearer that BlueSky is how social media should be done. It's not perfect and I'm not sure how they will make it pay, but it is night-and-day better than the other place.

Kemi Badenoch tells Keir Starmer that "we had a Budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards."

In the UK, vets are doctors for animals. On first reading, I thought "that's a bit niche" until I realised it was veterans 🀦
