No one is ever born poor.

Millions condemned to poverty by societal politics, prevented from realising their physical, mental, and intellectual potentialities.

Govts pay little attention to systemic causes of poverty.

Must resist, organize and change.

Curse of private equity

Up to 150 ex-WHSmith stores to close as rescue deal approved.

Substantial debts owed to creditors written off. Will have knock-on effects.

Post offices housed within shops will go. Many towns/districts will have no post office.

@iamhamzaabbasi Abbasi,you truly spoke what was in my heart.
Even here at university and at work, I’ve often wanted to say this to my Muslim friends that oppression is never justified, and Allah’s mercy is for all.
You shared a beautiful message. Please keep conveying such powerful reminders.

[William A. Wallace, Ph.D. @WilliamWallace]

Your spine isn’t just a backbone, it’s your body’s "wiring harness."

Your spine isn’t just a stack of bones.
It’s the main cable connecting your brain to every organ, muscle, and sensation in your body.

Each level of your spine sends out branches (spinal nerves) that control specific regions.

That means:
• A nerve in your neck can affect your shoulders, arms, or even your diaphragm.
• A nerve in your mid-back can influence digestion.
• A nerve in your lower back can change how your legs feel or move.
• Pelvic nerves can affect bladder, reproductive organs, and bowel function.

Here’s why this matters:

🔹 Poor posture compresses nerves → headaches, tingling, tightness
🔹 Weak core or glutes shift spinal load → lower-back pain, hip issues
🔹 Stress changes muscle tone → tightening around the spine, altered nerve signals
🔹 Sedentary habits reduce blood flow to spinal tissues → stiffness, inflammation
🔹 Injuries can irritate nerve roots → pain that radiates far from the spine

When a nerve is irritated, the organ or muscle it serves can’t communicate as well with the brain.
That doesn’t mean one vertebra controls your entire life—but it does mean the quality of your nerve signaling affects how well your body functions.

Your nervous system really does control everything you do -
movement, breathing, digestion, heartbeat, hormones, reflexes, pain, emotion.

Protecting your spine means protecting every system that depends on it.

If you’ve ever felt pain in one place but the issue was somewhere else

Since 2021, on 362 occasions water in England and Wales was flagged to be unfit for human consumption.

Only 3 companies prosecuted.

Companies profiteer, don't invest, abuse people, extract dividends, dump sewage, execs rewarded, regulators complicit.
