We totally agree with this.

Please RT if you do too.

Authoritarian Britain.
Wow, how far along we are, and so few have realised. Most key orgs infiltrated and under control already.

If everyone who has ever been grateful for a doctor followed and retweeted we’d reach a million by midnight.

The more followers we have, the louder we can shout for all the NHS staff who are fighting against the Government right now.

@midstquarter @mackayplanning @BBCRadioScot great piece - showcasing mixed retail, office and housing accommodation in Dumfries town centre - well done all involved.

@ChrisMusson Is there no one here standing up for the sovereignty of the Scottish Parliament? This would be a shameful action of the UK Government.

@modernistestate This was the news in July 2020 but little appears to have happened since... https://t.co/r00dqRy4kr - certainly little info. on the Kilmahew Education Trust web site: https://t.co/ou0QyErMVO

@modernistestate It was such a beautiful odyssey...

This makes me so sad but don't be afraid of writing Suzy - you express you and your daughter's experience so powerfully. It's no surprise "she's powerful, determined, clever, and extremely attuned" like her mother! I hope you get to influence people to free the system.

[Suzy Glass @suzyGlass]

I wrote this. My oldest little one has been struggling. It makes me sad, and then angry. https://t.co/A6xMLJAiKk

Superb inspiration for a Christmas bauble @absolutelynice_

@WowHauser a true influencer - well done.

[WowHaus @WowHauser]

Oh, look, here it is. All official now.

[Ben @_benspencer]

@jeanmcameron hahaha - have a good one!

[Ben @_benspencer]

@new_brutalism One of the most fabulous pieces of civic architecture in Britain, if not the world - stupendous (can you tell I'm a fan?)

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

We are devastated to hear so many traumatised NHS staff saying that they will quit the NHS

We cannot afford to lose a single member of staff

We must look after NHS staff NOW or we risk losing them forever

Please share this if you agree

@John_Ferrett @DominicRaab @Conservatives I was raised in a single end in Glasgow with an outside toilet. I became CEO of the Scottish Arts Council. Forgive me @DominicRaab @Conservatives for getting ideas above my station.

This message needs to be clear and we need it to be understood if we stand any chance of taking our independence.

[Ben @_benspencer]

@new_brutalism Not the most flattering picture, tho. I've never seen that 'coronet' before (I suspect that doorway is a later alteration?)
