Good morning Orcs.Off out for lunch with a friend today. New phone came yesterday. Very pleased. Used BackMarket, so not latest model, cheaper than new and reconditioned. Appears completely unused and certainly much better than my old one. OH has a (bit of a m) cold. He may survive. 🙄 Hugs to all. X

Let’s not forget when the Tories were last in office - according to international Human Rights Watch - the UK was on course to make the list of countries that abuse rather than protect human rights

We need to protect the ECHR, not leave it

I’d be surprised if that is France. I’m a heart patient and was classed as vulnerable before 65.

I will be first to say fuck Netanyahu and Hamas both for doing this. This had been brewing for so many years and our silence gave Israel permission to respond to Hamas attacks with genocide. All I feel today is sick.

I remember seeing that. It was a Monday so not sure why I wasn’t at work. Odd.

I was definitely at home when I saw this, my mum sat me in front of the television and I watched the whole thing. I was not quite 6 so I should have been at school. I presume I was off sick. Clear recollections of the gun firing and later seeing the skeleton of the hull emerging properly

Having a great time looking through everyone's memories of watching the Mary Rose being raised.

They Will undoubtedly be pushing religion at the young to ensure that once they can vote they ‘do the right thing’. These campaigns are always multi pronged.

My colleagues report that the group - Alliance Defending Freedom - has also been supplying the Trump administration with attack lines presenting the UK government as hostile to free speech

They are why JD Vance started talking about abortion clinic buffer zone cases in Britain

If you wondered why Nigel Farage turned up in US Congress in September speaking about "freedom of speech", this story has the answer

His appearance was orchestrated by a powerful American anti-abortion group that is trying to increase its influence in the UK by influencing the free speech debate

Pope Leo says that American bishops need to be more vocal and support migrant communities from being abducted by ICE in US cities

"Important that we as church give a message of hope in the midst of these horrible struggles, what's going on in some cities in the US"

It appears the new vacuum cleaner was desperately needed. An embarrassing amount of dirt and dog hair removed. Truly embarrassing. Shameful.

That’s because the Covid job is free for everyone. There are target groups, but ut isn’t limited to those groups. Once you get your ‘flu summons, you can get both done.

France appears to vaccinate with abandon - scroll down for the Covid booster info. If you want to read it in the original French, there's a toggle option which lets you do that.

Thanks for posting this. Really helpful and informative. Amazing at how wide the éligibility is and how, even outside the target groups, you can still receive vaccination.

🌻Margarance🌻 @margarance.bsky.social · 2d

I will ask at the Pharmacie what the eligibility is and whether my sister can get it when she visits. She may be able to pay for it and it won’t cost a fortune.

My only hard decision is whether to get both in my left arm so I can sleep comfortably! Friends who’ve had the recent Covid strain (one more this weekend) have all said how awful it is.

🌻Margarance🌻 @margarance.bsky.social · 2d

We will get the Covid vax. Certainly available for our age and possibly all age groups. There are a lot of Covid deniers in France. Usually supporters of RW parties who’ve swallowed the lies. Although I suspect many older people continue (like the idiot Trump) to be vaccinated anyway.
