Does anyone know the odds of the Frogs winning the Nobel Peace Prize next year?

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

More weight to @garius.bsky.social ‘s idea that McCartney’s The Frog Chorus (“We All Stand Together”) is the perfect anti-authoritarian protest song…

Where is "here"? It absolutely is not free on request in the UK.

Imagine being mad you didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize while you’re busy stirring up Civil War in your own country.

It was free for diabetics last year. We are sufficiently vulnerable for the annual NHS 'flu jab, but not for the NHS covid jab this year. The medical rationale escapes me - I assume it is to save NHS money. Short term thinking. The only option is private, and the cost is prohibitively high.

Boots also does it, plus some local pharmacies. Boots quoted me £98. At Tesco they gave me clubard points when I paid for it.

After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.

TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.

One day I'll go to a mental health at work meeting that addresses how the work can be made less stressful rather than how staff can be made more resilient

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

A powerful speech on the Nobel Peace Prize but I suspect it will send Trump into a frenzy today. Especially the pointed remarks about democracy and integrity.

Now that I've seen the South Park episode about Labubus this seems perfectly reasonable.

Well £90 in Tesco, £98 in Boots. Which is obscene given I and other clinically vulnerable people should have been included in the NHS programme this year. It's not like I just have that amount going spare.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I had to pay for mine this year, despite qualifying for the flu vaccine as part of the clinically vulnerable group. Tesco's in store pharmacies have it for sale, as does Boots.

Dear

Thank you very much for contacting me about your concerns regarding access to Covid-19 vaccination for Clinically Vulnerable people. Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding to your email.

I am pleased to be able to confirm that the new Labour government is committed to strengthening our public health response and reducing health inequalities. Labour's recent commitments and statements have made clear that the principle of universal and fair access to vaccines particularly for those who are medically at-risk must be central to our national strategy.

In Parliament, Labour MPs have called for a rapid review of JCVI eligibility criteria and for the reinstatement of free Covid-19 vaccination for all Clinically Vulnerable people, in line with the existing approach to NHS flu vaccinations. Many have highlighted, as you do, that the logic and evidence for including all at-risk groups in annual booster rollouts are overwhelming, given the ongoing pandemic context and emergence of new variants.

Our party's manifesto commits to taking advice from clinicians and scientists and to working closely with NHS England to ensure that support for the most vulnerable is not withdrawn on cost grounds especially when this may lead to greater suffering and increased NHS pressure. There is widespread concern across Parliament about the risk of deepening health inequality and placing the cost burden of essential preventative care onto those least able to shoulder it.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your concerns so powerfully.

Best wishes,

Dr Beccy Cooper MP

this is literally stuff King Charles did, like not only did the American colonists have a revolution to not have this happen, but they did so in the wake of the English revolution, which was about not having stuff like this happen
