In the context of kids using their empathy to survive neglect and abuse... Agree to disagree?

That's when the depression sets in.

I think you mistake my meaning, I wasn't intending to stake the claim you're arguing against. I was only saying empathy can hurt sometimes.

Empathy is a double edged sword, it's true. The difference that makes a difference is the emotional maturity of the parents.

Labour 'risks losing 600 seats' in London local elections in worse blow than Gorton

I'm not the guy to ask, but I'm open to it. As an outsider nobody voter, that is.

This is what First Past the Post does to elections. One party does terrible shit for the rich, gets voted out, then the next biggest party does the same, and so on... It'll take a real upset to put an end to that dynamic.

How was your week?

How horrid... But it is the times we live in. At least I tell myself that, since I want to believe people are mostly situational and could be good under better circumstances.

Uni was okay for her, but it's this pre-reg requirement before she's a full optometrist. Basically you swear fealty to a corporation for two years before you have a license to practise, and until you pass the assessment scheme you're at their mercy. Specsavers basically wrote her off from the start, dumped her just in time to get a tidy break on taxes.

I hope you do find a new income stream soon, though I'm sure you will. With any luck, it'll be nothing Bram Stoker would write home about!

BrewDog bought by US cannabis and drinks firm for £33m, costing nearly 500 jobs

Doesn't change anything for me at least, still going to mainly support local breweries and occasionally make my own. It is a shame about those jobs, hopefully those people go on to do something worthwhile in their industry, maybe start a new employee-owned venture?

I do have a cause, though; it is obscenity. I'm for it. Thank you. Unfortunately, the civil liberties types who are fighting this issue have to fight it, owing to the nature of the laws, as a matter of freedom of speech and stifling of free expression and so on, but we know what's really involved: dirty books are fun! That's all there is to it. But you can't get up in a court and say that, I suppose.
