Never underestimate the corrupt things a government will do—such as letting a dangerous virus run rampant while convincing everyone it’s harmless or just a cold. #COVID

Let me candid,
let me be clear,
I will be thorough,
deep and sincere

you cannot own me
I am not your possession
you cannot control me
please stop your obsession

Let go
Let go
or you’ll crush me for good

Let go
Let go
just do what you should

The sequel to We Want Them Infected is done!

COVID killed 1.2 million Americans while vaccines saved millions.

Yet, disinformation superspreaders were empowered, where they are taking a wrecking ball to science & medicine.

How did that happen?🧵

This is the only visible stretch of the Roman wall of Dorchester, known in ancient times as Durnovaria. Only the inner rubble core of the wall survives - it would have been faced with more regular carved blocks on each side, but these have long since disappeared. #WallsonWednesday

A short stretch of rough rubble wall incorporated into a garden wall with a fence in front.

This is an appalling indictment of UK society in the early 21st century

A paradise for the rich, but a hell-hole for those at the bottom, who are left to fend for themselves or die

Utterly disgusting

UK deaths of 1,611 homeless people in 2024 is record high

Most are linked to suicide or drugs, with spice and nitazines increasingly deadly.
