Yes, who is more likely to regard the sacrifice of people as abhorrent than those who follow a religion centered on celebrating the sacrifice of a person?

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Power is a current without noise. When it is authentic, it is constructive. When it is not, it is destructive
Authentic power is rooted in competence, clarity, integrity & the ability to shape reality without coercion
Inauthentic power relies on secrecy, manipulation, fear, control and domination.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

In a society of Sexual Preadors. It should shock no one that rings like Epstein's thrive and exist. This twisted sense of attraction to "purity" that allows predators to attack children has gone on for centuries, and is ongoing. And some using the excuse "they don't look like kids" is sick!

My poor dog is terrified of the loud bang fireworks. Nov 5th in the UK is Guy Fawkes/Bonfire night which would be fine if it didn't go on for over a week. The loud bangs are the problem- dogs, wildlife, farm animals and veterans who suffer from PTSD all find this difficult. Ban loud bang fireworks

Samir Zitouni who works for LNER was the first person to try and stop the attack in Huntingdon.
He is a hero spread his name far and wide, judge people on their actions not their names or immigration status.

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...
78% are murdered by a partner/ex
Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this
Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety
In fact, they voted against them...

Read in public. Read in private. Read e-books, genre books, comics, fanfiction. Read literature. Read nonfiction. Read books you’ve already read. Listen to audiobooks. Read what you want. There’s no such thing as “doing reading the wrong way.”
