@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social hi I am reminded of Typhoid Mary.

Did they try to trace fingerprints via the police and driver's licence?

Peter Gabriel - Don't Give Up (ft. Kate Bush)
The official Don't Give Up video. Directed by Godley and Creme. A standout track from Peter's fifth studio album and the first one to have a proper title: So was a watershed release in his career. Its marriage of the artistic and the commercial made for an indisputable success, with the album quickly sitting atop the album charts on both sides of the Atlantic. Aside from some intriguing collaborations – with Laurie Anderson on This Is The Picture, Kate Bush on Don’t Give Up and Youssou N’Dour on In Your Eyes – it was the unity of singer, band and producer that made So such a crucial record in the Gabriel canon. Listen / Buy https://smarturl.it/PeterGabriel-So In this proud land we grew up strong We were wanted all along I was taught to fight, taught to win I never thought I could fail No fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face, I've changed my name But no-one wants you when you lose Don't give up 'cause you have friends Don't give up you're not beaten yet Don't give up I know you can make it good Though I saw it all around Never thought that I could be affected Thought that we'd be last to go It is so strange the way things turn Drove the night toward my home The place that I was born, on the lakeside As daylight broke, I saw the earth The trees had burned down to the ground Don't give up you still have us Don't give up we don't need much of anything Don't give up 'cause somewhere there's a place where we belong Rest your head You worry too much It's going to be alright When times get rough You can fall back on us Don't give up Please don't give up Got to walk out of here I can't take anymore Going to stand on that bridge Keep my eyes down below Whatever may come and whatever may go That river's flowing That river's flowing Moved on to another town Tried hard to settle down For every job, so many men So many men no-one needs Don't give up 'cause you have friends Don't give up you're not the only one Don't give up no reason to be ashamed Don't give up you still have us Don't give up now we're proud of who you are Don't give up you know it's never been easy Don't give up 'cause I believe there's a place There's a place Where we belong Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up # http://petergabriel.com #MusicVideo

We're getting there, although clearly, if you haven't signed it already - it would great if you did!

I find it interesting to see where all the signatories are from (and level of interest from those in the Isle of Wight).

Fascinating. Best to be vaccinated against measles.
For decades, scientists couldn't figure out why the measles vaccine didn't just lower death rates from measles, but from other diseases too. Now we know it's because measles causes immune amnesia. Measles resets the immune system. It forgets how to fight every single pathogen it's ever encountered.
