8 November 2007. Anglican cleric Chad Varah died (aged 95). He founded The Samaritans help line to help people contemplating suicide. He answered the first ever call made to the brand new helpline. A person whose life made a real difference to preserving the lives of others.

@katebevan We were talking about this last night. Is there somewhere in the world where it's more like 80/20 without being a dictatorship. And people are just, well, pleasant to each other? @PickardJE

@Hoebomedia @katebevan I was going to say maybe pour was a better word for today, but you got me beat. Paw is way better.

@OhGodWhatNowPod Oh good, lots of dressing up opportunities to come then.

@katebevan It is surreal driving at new build after new build and there maybe just 5% of them that have it. Madness

Had this saved in my bookmarks because I wanted to answer it. Funny enough, I think Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is one of the better dressed US politicians, but only in a very specific way that will appeal to a very small group of people. 🧵

@Sylvia70485099 @DrHelenFry Absolutely beside myself to be heading to @IWMDuxford on Wednesday to SIT INSIDE a Spit.

The censorship algorithm has reduced our audience by roughly 95%, and seriously, who does that to a wildlife advocacy group ?

You can help by retweeting, liking and following. If we're going to preserve what few wild places remain, we need you to get involved.

🚨NEW
Rail operator Northern is taking two more people to court on Monday after they used their Railcard before 10am - just days after @transportgovuk ordered the operator to review similar cases.

In a heroic move, Gisele Pelicot fought to make public the videos of her unconscious rapes at the hands of over 50 men and won. She wanted the public “to look rape straight in the eyes.” Shame, she said, must change sides —from the victims to the perpetrators.

Police found more than 20,000 videos and photographs of Gisele drugged and being raped by various men on her husband’s devices in a folder titled “Abuse.”

On Friday, the judge complied with Gisele’s demand and showed the evidence “necessary for the manifestation of the truth.”

12 rape videos and 10 photos were shown over the courtroom’s three flat screens and projected into the overflow room for members of the public while the perpetrators in the videos sat in shame watching their own despicable criminal acts being exposed.

@Northlakesuk Gorgeous. Spent my summers as a child at Eggleston and wandering around there. Beautiful part of the world!

Towards the end of his testimony, Prof Fong makes the heartfelt case that to understand the Covid impact on the NHS you have to go *beyond* data - "there is more to know than you can count".

His testimony was *so important* /END

[Prof. Christina Pagel - @chrischirp.bsky.social @chrischirp]

Here Prof Fong explains how every nurse he met was traumatised by watching patients die, being only able to hold up ipads to their relatives and how it went against their normal practice of trying to ensure a dignified death, with family there.

[Prof. Christina Pagel - @chrischirp.bsky.social @chrischirp]

Prof @Kevin_Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020.

The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope.
Please watch this 2min clip.

I may be some time and profess to being rather excited...
