A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:
“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.
At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.
But cancer doesn’t care about plans.
Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.
I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.
Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.
Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.
Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.
Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.
Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.
Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.
Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.
And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.
Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.
And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”

We now know that Katie Johnson not only sued Donald Trump for raping her at 14 — and gave sworn testimony under the penalty of perjury — but that she was interviewed by the @FBI FOUR TIMES and her story was found to be credible.
Donald Trump raped children.
Andrew Windsor's former royal protection officer Paul Page, who previously says he had been told to 'shut up' by the Met has gone to The Met to spill the beans after an appeal.
He says Andrew 'smuggled girls into Buckingham Palace multiple times a week'.

For far too long in the UK, we have tolerated the corruption, deceit, treachery & fraud of politicians & extremists
Those that are elected by us to serve!!!
I'll be honest, I don't know the answer, but it is something the country can unite to find!
Traitors must be prosecuted!
BBC New's BBC Verify with Ros Atkins
Prove that President Trump and Kristi Noem lied
When they both claimed that Alex Pretti was a domestic terrorist
As the video evidence which they present, shows otherwise
Senator sounds the constitutional alarm!
A U.S. senator is now calling for Trump’s immediate removal under the 25th Amendment.
Things are getting serious the warning is coming straight from Capitol Hill. ⚠️

This is what happens when a felon is elected instead of a prosecutor. A law abiding and lawful gun permit citizen was killed while exercising both his first and second amendment and yet many conservatives, constitutionalists and so called Christian are ok with his rights being violated and his life taken.
POLICE VIOLENCE
This is just one of the shocking videos of Met Police officer violence against peaceful protesters outside HMP Wormwood Scrubs last night.
“Stop resisting” they kept shouting to people who were not resisting at all, in an attempt to justify their own violence.
Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them.
The police and MSM are lying about what happened at Wormwood Scrubs
Pro-Palestine protesters were NOT violent. They did NOT damage property at Wormwood Scrubs. But the Met saw a chance to make mass arrests - and took it. This is not democracy.

Left hand on the ground trying not to hit the pavement; right hand still holding a cell phone. ICE person standing with a one handed grip pointing his gun right at the man’s head.
There is nothing about this that we should accept. We all must reject this. This is our government
Message to Keir: Do not underestimate the depth of anger people will feel about this disgusting decision. If you think it strengthens you I tell you it will simply hasten your demise. You could have shown magnanimous leadership but instead it’s cowardice. https://t.co/02Y8COpddM
