@StephenNolan@BBCiPlayer Band 5 ICU nurses fighting for years for band 6 pay - some with 20+ years experience - told there’s no money in the budget. Not saying MLA’s don’t deserve it but other professions are being left behind when it comes to recognition! & don’t get me started on our car parking issue!
Erfan Soltani is scheduled to be executed by hanging in Iran in 48 hours.
He was arrested in Karaj on January 9 for taking part in the protests. His family was given just 10 minutes to say goodbye. No lawyer. No fair trial. Days later, the Islamic regime sentenced him to death.
Reports now warn the regime is preparing public hangings to terrorize the population. More than 10,000 protesters have been arrested since the start of the 2026 uprising. Many could face the same fate.
The only thing this regime fears is global scrutiny.
Be their voice. Share their names. Expose these crimes. Silence is a death sentence.
@RupertLowe10 Yes on paper I could “afford” to have a child, but after childcare costs on top of paying my mortgage, bills etc. I’d be left with next to nothing! People on benefits are so much better off and actually get to see their children!
@RupertLowe10 I know someone bringing in 3k a month in benefits - taxis wherever she wants, multiple holidays a year, showing off nails/lashes on social media while I’m working full time hours as a nurse and on a good month bringing in 2.2k if I work a few extra nights. The system is a joke!
This is Dean Withers
He is probably 100% opposed to Charlie Kirk's politics, and he is rightfully upset and showing empathy to Kirk's wife and kids.
Those who want to paint this horror onto everyone on "the left" need to think for a moment and realize that most people don't celebrate murders.
This isn't left vs. right. It's right vs. wrong, and the human decency most of us have vs. the actions of a violent sociopath.
Don't let the murderer win
The murder of Charlie Kirk is horrifying and chilling. Political violence is wrong. Always. If you can't condemn it, you are a part of the problem. You debase yourself and you destroy any argument you seek to advance. You destroy our basic humanity and empathy. His poor family, my prayers are with them 🙏🙏
