Do you need closure? 💌
Not having “closure” from someone who deeply hurt you feels unbearable sometimes, I know. But the truth is, the answer you're looking for was in how they treated you. That's the answer. There's nothing that they could say or do to reverse it and they don't hold some sort of magical key to your healing like you think they do. They hurt you. They won’t be the one to heal you. The closure you need is in accepting that sometimes people do horrible, fucked up, shocking and self-serving things, leave us totally and utterly devastated/betrayed and they just keep on living despite our shock/horror/confusion. We’re left to pick up the pieces, all while being barely able to function. I know.
It's disgusting and it’s unfair but it's also incredibly unfair to yourself to wait for someone to give you “closure” and continue to delay your healing process.
They've given you closure when they didn't give a fuck about your feelings and were okay with losing you. They gave you closure when their actions said “fuck you.” That's the answer and that's what you need to accept.
Talking to them again will hurt you more than heal you. Trust me, I have been there. And you’ll wish you left it alone.
The closure you’re looking for? It’s in realizing that you are a GOOD person and you have so much love to give. You gave it to the wrong person but guess what? WHO HASN’T? Join the club! 🤷♀️
You really cared so you really tried. It didn’t work because it wasn’t meant to. Close the door and lock it. Their words would only confuse, frustrate and deeply disappoint you further. So disappointed that you can feel it in your bones. Cut the poison out of your life and don’t ever invite them back into your life to infect you some more. Close it. Closed.
One last thing. Do you even WANT to communicate with someone so cruel, so cold, so despicable and so self serving? WHY????? FUCK NO. The actual love of your life wouldn’t be able to FATHOM ever hurting you like that. They’d be incapable of it. You did not lose something special, you lost something dangerous to your mental health. Fuck them, their worthless apologies and their hollow reasons. You don’t need to know why. You don’t need anything from them. Let them go spread their misery elsewhere. It’s time to stop fantasizing about “just one more conversation” with a literal piece of shit.
22 YEARS LATER AND NOBODY HAS ANSWERED FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO DR DAVID KELLY
His name was Dr David Kelly. Most people have forgotten him. They shouldn't.
He was a quiet, mild-mannered scientist who spent his career inspecting weapons facilities around the world.
He knew more about Iraq's arsenal than almost anyone alive.
In 2003, Tony Blair's @InstituteGC government published a dossier claiming Saddam Hussein could deploy chemical weapons within 45 minutes. That claim was used to justify a war.
Kelly knew the intelligence behind it was being exaggerated. He said so, privately, to a @BBCNews journalist.
That one conversation destroyed his life.
The government found out he was the source. Instead of protecting a man who had served his country for decades, they quietly let his name reach the press. He was publicly identified, dragged before two parliamentary committees, and grilled by his own employer.
His wife said he came home a broken man.
On the afternoon of 17 July 2003, he left his house for a walk in the Oxfordshire countryside. He was 59 years old. He never came back.
His body was found the next morning in woodland. A knife beside him. A blister pack of painkillers nearby.
Here is where it gets worse.
Tony Blair personally intervened to replace the normal coroner's inquest with a private inquiry run by Lord Hutton.
The original inquest was suspended before it even properly began. It was never resumed. To this day,
Dr David Kelly is the only person in England and Wales in living memory to have died in unexplained circumstances without receiving a full coroner's inquest.
Lord Hutton concluded suicide. Case closed.
Except eight senior doctors and a former coroner wrote to @thetimes saying the verdict was medically unsafe.
The wound found on Kelly's wrist, a severed ulnar artery, would not cause fatal blood loss in a healthy person.
There were no fingerprints on the knife. The painkillers found were not in a quantity that experts considered lethal.
The government's response, delivered by Attorney General Dominic Grieve in 2011, was essentially: the Hutton Inquiry was good enough, stop asking questions.
Think about that. A man quietly raised concerns about the biggest political deception in modern British history, a war that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He was publicly exposed, professionally destroyed, and found dead days later and the government personally made sure there would never be a proper independent investigation into how he died.
Tony Blair went on to become a Middle East Peace Envoy. He has a knighthood.
Dr David Kelly got a private inquiry, a rushed verdict, and a sealed post-mortem report that was not released to the public for years.
Nobody was ever held accountable. Not for any of it.
This story should be on the front page every single year. Share it if you think it matters.

10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.
At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk
A small public service announcement from the Department of Things That You Should Know…
It has not “peeked” your interest.
Nor has it “peaked” your interest.
…It has piqued your interest.
You are not “phased” by something.
You are fazed by it.
If you’ve had a long day, you are weary.
If you suspect someone is an idiot, you are wary.
It is “due course”, not “do course”.
“Per se”, not “per say”.
And while we’re here, it’s “could have”, not “could of”, but that particular battle may already be lost.
Thank you for your attention during this brief outbreak of grammatical housekeeping.
This has been a @LairdofthManor announcement.🎩💙
@Fate0707@lami_timaya@Gwendolynvee It’s a shame your mother caused so much damage you were scared to have children of your own ( had that been what you wanted). That must have been awful for you. I think people get to decide how they feel about their own experiences.

Thoughts and prayers going out to all raging yoons / Britnats in Scotland seeing twitter rn flooded with positive comments about Scots and Scotland. 🙏🏴
@BorderSolution_@CarlaMRS2386@bushontheradio Since 1955, Scotland has never voted majority Tory, yet has repeatedly been governed by them due to Westminster's seat math.
I want decisions on Scottish tax, welfare, and laws to be made entirely by Holyrood, rather than a Westminster parliament dominated by English seats.
