@Hexagram012@TheSpectator@Charles_Lipson And as you live in a free, unoccupied country, you’re entitled to reject anything I say. Shame you don’t extend the same courtesy to Ukrainians.
@msjenniferjames@PatrickChristys So she broke her own back?
You could at least be honest and say “it’s obvious they did it, but I’m glad they got off as I believe in their cause, and I don’t care about what he did to the policewoman”.
@msjenniferjames@PatrickChristys You still don’t seem to understand. The defendant in question admitted to hitting the WPC with the sledgehammer (and there is video footage).
@7jdnxbjpmk@PM_ViktorOrban Only the morally bankrupt. Sorry you got bored about an invasion and the ongoing targeting of civilians. Maybe stick Fox on?
@StevenMack669@krassenstein@elonmusk Sorry to break it to you, but the phrase is “correlation is not causation” (which is a fundamental principle of statistics)
This is Frank and he has had a coffee stand at the top of the steps at Bethnal Green tube for as long as I can remember.
When the new restaurant/coffee shop next door opened along with another high street outlet opening across the street, Frank suddenly found that his license from the council had been revoked and he was chucked off his stand.
I believe it was to make way for these new shops to take his regular custom. They didn’t need him in the way of gaining maximum profit... so Frank was gone.
Well the locals were having none of it and a petition started demanding his return.
How dare they do this to him.
How dare these people smash his business and leave him with nothing.
After a lot of pressure the council backed down and Frank had his licence and pitch returned to him but sadly by that time Frank had sold his equipment to feed his family and try to survive.
So the good people of Bethnal Green started crowdfunding and here’s the result... Frank back in business on his old pitch with brand new equipment and even a little hut now to shelter him from the rain... Brilliant!!
He is truly the happiest man in East London and it’s wonderful to see.
It really does show that if we all stick together, stand up to them and just say no... the little guy can win.
If you’re in Bethnal Green come and have a coffee with this lovely man. 🧡
@IselinCatherine@danny__kruger I think you may be at risk of romanticising self-starvation. My aunt starved herself to death after being incapacitated by a stroke. It was a distressing and painful death that could have been avoided if the law had allowed her wishes.
To all walkers If u see sheep lying on its back with legs up, it is 'cast'. Please tip/roll it back over; if left like this, they can die as they can not get up. most 'cast' sheep will be carrying lambs, hence their struggle to get to their feet.
Please be kind enough to share.
@yoghurteater I’d deffo recommend grabbing the ferry ($4, takes 5 mins and runs regularly) from Pier 11 near Battery Park / opposite Wall Street over the East River to DUMBO (no, really) for pizza / mooch round Brooklyn / views of Manhattan + then walk back to Manhattan over Brooklyn Bridge 👍
