A study of Brexit voting
In 2016 the UK was given the referendum vote, which 4 years on and is still courting controversy. According to the following research, Brexit has also brought about a certain arrogance, narcissistic, uncaring approach, one that may have not been there before, and if it was, it wasn’t obvious.
Scientists from the UK, Poland and Portugal have looked at xenophobia around Brexit and have since measured the effect of xenophobia on voting behaviour and found that it was strongly related to …

The last piece of the jigsaw
The hardest thing for me is hearing the recent truth of how I got to this place. Now 11 years into my initial cerebral palsy diagnosis, there is one last piece of the jigsaw to add, that I couldn’t have foreseen or anticipated without looking at my life in detail.

Preconceptions
Growing up, I didn’t have any preconceptions or opinions on my disability or what those meant. I had to wait until such a time I could find out what it all really meant.
