A few months ago I would accuse Americans here of being a bit hysterical but not any more.
No, it's not just your imagination. It has become distinctly more hostile in all communities.
Polanski is doing well keeping the focus on their economic policy and not getting drawn in on identity, defence and immigration which are more controversial.
I agree that they are becoming to Labour what Reform are to the Conservatives. I have no idea how things will ultimately pan out but it's refreshing at least to have two clearly distinct sides again, instead of the endless 'centrism' (a new conservativism IMO) of the last couple of decades.
You need to hide inside one of the cupboards at IKEA so you can really test the beds out after the staff leave.
Here in the UK (and elsewhere I'm sure) there is public funding for the arts. It's recognised as being good for culture but that it also stimulates the broader econony. In that way it is treated as a public investment with expected public (and private) returns.
You can easily install most of those services on YUNOhost - in fact I have a bunch of them running on a cheap VPS. All open source. It even comes with email and XMPP out of the box. I had no hosting experience beforehand and I rarely have to touch it these days. I would want more resources if I had 10 people using the whole Nextcloud suite every day but if you wanted to go the VPS route I'm sure you could easily do it for less than β¬5/month/person. You can run it on your own hardware as well.

" ...for really I thinke that the poorest hee that is in England hath a life to live as the greatest hee... and I do think that the poorest man in England is not at all bound in a strict sense to that Government that he hath not had a voice to put Himself under."
