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.”

#mhmblackpoolfinal Ken, Steve & Dennis who are your favourite and least favourite players (dead or alive)
and why? PS my mum had glasses like yours Dennis #fashionicon 😉
I always find it incredibly moving when a lady, who may have cerebral palsy, is brought in to have her photo taken with a mounted soldier.
He manoeuvres his horse for a better picture & the horse seems to acknowledge her presence.
5 January 1976. The 1st episode of Paddington was broadcast on BBC1. It was based on the Paddington Bear books by Michael Bond and was narrated by Michael Hordern. In all, 56 episodes and 3 specials aired until 18 April 1980.
If you believe the U.K. should pay reparations- you're either stupid or corrupt.
Maybe when the ancestors of the barbarians pay us
When the romans pay us
The Ottoman Empire
The Norman's
The Vikings
And the Corsairs Moors and other Muslim Slavers ( before the ottomans)
Hammurabi
When Germany pays WW2 reparations
And Barbary Pirates who would raid coastal villages in Southern England and take locals to sell as slaves in the 1500’s
Etc etc etc
Perhaps we'll have a discussion how the U.K. partook in slavery for a tiny amount of time compared to Africa and Middle East
And lost hundreds of our Navy trying to stop Africa continuing
And borrowed so much money to buy the freedoms of slaves it took just til 2014 to pay off
Britain spent 1.8 per cent of its GDP between 1808 and 1867 on eradicating slavery - the most expensive moral foreign policy in human history, and one fiercely resisted by many African kings.
Maybe we'll talk about what they owe us for any infrastructure we put in their country
Perhaps go to the families who sold the slaves in their own countries who earnt the money!!!
Oh and sorry but there is still actual slavery in Africa today!!! How about you sort that!
Oh and let's take away any "foreign aid " received over the decades
The UK has paid one hundred times over ‼️‼️
No more U.K. whipping!
We are leagues ahead in comparison for paying any dues owed . We have gone over and above .
STOP bankrupting this country!
It is NOT your money.
#ReparationsNever
@Tesla is it a common fault for the WiFi not to work on a brand new Tesla?Had ours a week and WiFi is intermittent (mostly none at all) which makes the car useless. Service request raised 3 days ago and heard nothing @elonmusk
615 migrants in 12 boats ILLEGALLY crossed the channel in to ENGLAND yesterday
28,110 migrants have crossed the channel so far this year with the help of the RNLI and BORDER FORCE
STOP THE BOATS!
Society has lost the plot, and the media is driving it over a cliff.
We're going to end up with an unhealthy lazy thick society, as they are spoon fed incredible twisted narratives .
For example Sky News run a heart felt story of a young mum who can't afford to buy her baby milk.
Mummy is very chubby, that's not an insult, it's an observation. So how can mummy be fat , but baby be hungry, it just doesn't add up.
Coming from an impoverished background, I know what poverty looks like. My mum often skipped meals, she was drainpipe thin but we weren't. We always had food.
Another young attractive mum makes the tabloids with a pizza delivery boy giving her a pizza to feed her kid...she is skint, having just spent two weeks in Cyprus on holiday....you couldn't make this $hit up.
Someone is out there thinking tha making the papers for claiming to be poor when you simply have no idea about priorities is acceptable.
Our kids are taught and encouraged to digest all aspects of trans gender issues and kids are now able to go to school claiming to be cats. Yet no one is showing them how to open and run a bank account, pay bills and the long term effects of arrears and unauthorized overdrafts.
They will mainly leave school numb and entitled, unless the parenting is of a particularly high calibre.
They have babies without partners and think they're cool and independent, the reality being, they state is in the role of the husband.
The state is deeply involved when things go wrong. We are being groomed into more state involvement in everything we do.
My generation gets insulted for kicking back, for seeing the writing on the wall.
What is being sold to you by the complicit media as care, is control.
Our government and parliament is now just a middle management team to implement directives from Non Government Organizations, herding us to a lesser life, by using blame and guilt.
It's your fault the air is poor, you must pay, yet China gets a free pass in The Paris Accord to spew out these emissions indefinitely and increase the use of fossil fuels.
This trillion dollars a year industry is the biggest grift I've ever seen, but that's just my opinion of course.
Net Zero from 1% means ZERO NOTHING HAPPENS to the planet when that day comes.
Personalized carbon credits are a scam , a system that will allow Leonardo DeCaprio to disembark from his superyacht and sanctimoniously preach at the masses about how to cut down their already frugal carbon footprint.
The media is the snake that delivers the venom. Social media is there to mop up the spills of truth that gets out by people like me.
If it wasn't for Twitter X, I wouldn't be able to share this perspective with you now.
Attempt on FB result in unfair 90 day restrictions.
It's never been more important to be involved with your kids, to talk to them, about how life really works in the bill paying dwellings that they live in.
Word of mouth is still the most valuable tool for any product or service..
We prefer a plumber that someone recommended, rather than the cold search that looks good on the screen.
It now the same with information.
You may feel helpless and frustrated, you may see someone with a large following as doing more.
You reading this right now can affect a shift in thinking.
Persuade your friends and family to look for news via their phones and laptops, direct them to trustworthy sources that you believe in.
Get them away from accepting that the truth only comes from the telly.
Sow the seeds of doubt in idle conversations.
As your packing your supermarket trolley, queuing at a cash machine or in a local shop. Your hairdresser, your nail bar, gently does it ..easy phrases like
I never thought I'd see the day when our mainstream media just delivered propaganda.... I do it all the time, to my window cleaner, handyman, tradesmen at the house, on a dog walk. It can be done, and you could have an amazing affect.
