In 1972, the Council of Europe adopted Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" theme as its anthem 🇪🇺
As they say, where words fails, music speaks.
Listen to the beauty.
@DanWuori This is so cute. I used to love these non speaking conversations with my babies, but this little sweetie is fantastic and so lovely to see their bond.
@Belvederebrooks@sharrond62 Honestly this is twitter- count the characters in ‘small groups of men’ v men!
Saying men doesn’t mean every man & no women, more that it’s a male attitude/issue in a patriarchal society. Maybe embrace that lots of men (but not all!) like things as they are coz it suits them.
@doctor_oxford@BorisJohnson I can’t imagine the fury I would feel in your shoes, it’s bad enough in mine. How DARE he?
The appalling arrogance and lack of shame makes my skin crawl.
@RA_information Not sure weather to be chuffed there’s a couple I don’t get. 😞
Exhaustion & stress of never knowing how you’ll feel, pretending to feel better than you do, whether you’ll feel ok to go if you plan anything (or spoil it for others) should be on there too!
Epic piece by @doctor_oxford.
The govt could relieve the crisis immediately. They choose not to. Incredibly hard to believe such callousness exists at the heart of government.

@lav25th @ColinBoyd11@ListerLawrence@official_r_kent My current EV rate is 7.14p with Octopus between 00:30 & 4:30 am - smart charge every day at that time (plus laundry & dishwasher).
Harrowing words from a senior emergency medicine doctor showing the despair at not being able to provide the level of care every doctor hopes to for their patients. Every doctor, nurse & HCW can empathise with this right now.

@RishiSunak Good to know - my priority is the dangerously overwhelmed NHS, which you are currently destroying to replace with a money making American model.
Can’t wait to see you support them in 2023. Thanks
@RachelReevesMP Campaign to rejoin the single market then, so we can work to get our businesses back to the healthy state they were in, & can then start planning for growth not decline.
@crushtheracists Merry Christmas to you.
Have you heard about #joinin ? Based in the UK, but everyone welcome. A lovely online campaign by @SarahMillican75 to help those feeling lonely today.
The brave & talented women of Afghanistan are devastated this morning as the Taliban prevent them from entering their universities following the BAN on female university education.
This is horrifying to watch. This isn’t right. We mustn’t stay silent.
@anandMenon1 ‘everyone my age’
Does he really have that little perception of women that he thinks we agree with his aggressive misogyny because we had to grow up in an era when this kind of language was acceptable? (Im sure many men his age don’t either, but how dare he speak for me).
@eagerrealist I couldn’t get life insurance full stop due to covid. Denied 3 times over the last 18months. Hadn’t had covid but am immunocompromised. Have never before had a problem due to my autoimmune condition- specifically covid risk stated.
