@keith_azopardi Unless medically unable to have a vaccine, the unvaccinated have chosen to be carriers of a deadly virus. They have the right to:

- stay home

- hang out with other unvaccinated people & make each other sick.

There is nothing one can, or would want, to add to this thread. Not without crying. It speaks loudly & powerfully for itself. Thanks for sharing this story @annalapwood

Delivery companies have sprung up during #COVID__19 + people have taken to doorstep deliveries yet cycling infrastructure is a vision made up of pretty pictures still without real substance in #Gibraltar When will we hav detailed plans? Will these pretty pictures b functional?

Did you know XReg and @GibCompliance recently ran an "Intro to Risk Assessment" capacity building session for nearly 200 attendees in Gibraltar? Our local community is committed to upholding the highest standards of AML/CFT compliance.

You can’t not go on reading a post starting “Suppose I insisted that the Big Bang happened due to a cat generating an extremely high energy hairball.” 2-minute read by philosopher Alexander Pruss will set you thinking this weekend HT @TheBrowser https://t.co/R2WXp4WE6Q

@sianberry At least @thesundaytimes published this eloquent companion piece by #TransRights campaigner & actress @rebeccaroot1969. https://t.co/SeOwCOpbTT #TransWomenareWomen #TransRightsAreHumanRights #MineToDefine

[Siân Jones @SianGib]

UK Minister for Inequality @trussliz supporting crowd-pleasing @BorisJohnson supporting @jk_rowling’s #transphobic idea of womanhood is just another #BrexitReality blow for #HumanRights. #MineToDefine indeed

[Sian Berry @sianberry]

The relentlessly transphobic Sunday Times has put this story of Govt backtracking on its front page. I hope this isn’t true, but if it is then Liz Truss must look at her job title in shame. Trans rights are human rights.

As UK hurtles towards #Brexit cliff edge & any meaningful relationship with #EU after December looks increasingly unlikely, the prospect of diminishing alignment with European food safety standards looms large. Is this what to expect?

Weekend long read (let’s face it, you have time). Hero, villain or both? https://t.co/W9hOOIhlIL @DAaronovitch @RosAstengo

NHK conducted an experiment to see how germs spread at a cruise buffet.

They applied fluorescent paint to the hands of 1 person and then had a group of 10 people dine.

In 30 min the paint had transferred to every individual and was on the faces of 3.

For anyone left who doesn't believe cruising is dead; and a thoroughly good read even for those who do: https://t.co/cqHvbIG7To

@RosAstengo Not so arsey now; proving humour, however dark, is the best medicine @thesundaytimes #covidhumour (My condolences to Julie)
