Why did everyone question the Covid vaccine but not ozempic. Vanity is a horror

I'm sorry but seeing a man spit on the ground is the most disgusting thing ever

JUST WONDERING HOW MOMS are supposed to work 9-5, drop the kids off at school at 8 AM, pick them up by 3 PM, stay on top of school activities, meal prep, cook dinner, keep the house clean, do the laundry, run the kids to extracurricular activities, climb the corporate ladder, save sick days for when the kids are sick, be a good friend, daughter, and partner, all while trying to take care of their own body and mental health…

In 2000, there were 7,801 cases of rape reported in England and Wales. It was estimated that around 61K rapes went unreported.

Last year, there were 71,667 rapes reported. It was estimated that over 350K rapes went unreported.

25 years.
816% increase.

Let that sink in.

i have no desire to be rich so i can buy a rolex or a lamborghini.

i want to be rich so i can control my time and go to the gym at 3pm on a monday.

sit at a cafe and relax for an hour on a rainy afternoon.

so i can cook meals at home with fresh ingredients.

spend on my family and friends without worrying about a budget.

that's my idea of a rich life, not the fake consumerist idea shoved down my throat.

“Can I bring my baby to the interview?”

The message came in at 11 PM:

“Hi, I have an interview with you tomorrow at 2 PM. My childcare fell through. Can I bring my 8-month-old? I understand if you need to reschedule.”

Old me would have rescheduled.
Unprofessional. Distraction. Red flag.

New me replied:
“Absolutely. See you tomorrow.”

She showed up with her baby on her hip.
She apologized three times before even sitting down.

Ten minutes in, the baby started crying.
She tried to soothe him while answering questions.
She apologized again.

I stopped the interview and said:

“Hey. You’re managing a fussy baby, answering complex questions, and staying calm under pressure. That’s literally the job. Handling chaos while staying professional. You’re already proving you can do it.”

Her eyes filled with tears.

We hired her.

She’s been with us for a year now.
The most reliable team member we have.

Why?

Because when you’re used to handling a screaming infant at 3 AM and still showing up to work the next day, workplace stress feels like nothing.

Working parents, especially mothers, are some of the most organized, efficient, and resilient people you’ll ever hire.

Yet we lose them because our hiring processes are built for people with zero caregiving responsibilities.

If your interview process can’t accommodate a parent facing a childcare issue, you’re not filtering for professionalism.

You’re filtering for privilege.

A working family now needs £71k just to match the income of a jobless 3-child household.

This morning Starmer will claim he’ll cut welfare, but EVERYONE knows he hiked taxes to record levels to fund a bloated welfare state. Spare us. He rewards dependency, not work. Don’t believe a word he says.

Take it from a woman then Rachel,

You are the most uselessly inept, narcissistic, fraudulent, over promoted, lying disaster of a Chancellor in the history of the UK.

Better? @RachelReevesMP

[No Farmers, No Food @NoFarmsNoFoods]

Sadly, he’s right.

[Jill Marinelli @JillMarinelli1]

He’s 100 years old.
He fought in a war that most of us today can barely imagine.

He saw his friends, many just boys, go off to fight and never return.
He’s carried those memories for a lifetime.

And recently, on live television, he broke down and asked a question no veteran should ever have to ask, “Was it worth it”

When the men who sacrificed everything for freedom now look at the state of their country and wonder if that sacrifice still matters, it should make all of us stop and think.

Remembrance isn’t just a poppy on a lapel or a minute of silence once a year.
It’s a responsibility, to honour their legacy by protecting the values and freedoms they fought for.

Our culture.
Our freedoms.
Our sense of community and national identity.

If we stop respecting those things, if tradition loses meaning, if honour and pride are dismissed as outdated, then we risk forgetting what they stood for.

We don’t honour the fallen by remembering them once a year, we honour them by living in a way that keeps their sacrifices meaningful.
By standing up for our country, our values, and our way of life.

He wasn’t crying out of weakness.
He was crying because he remembers the cost of forgetting.

Today is Remembrance Sunday.

886,000 British men died in WW1.
384,000 British men died in WW2.

Tragic that they sacrificed everything for their country - only for us to give it away without a fight. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

This man’s been on my mind for the last 24hrs since I watched him on TV.

We’ve let him and the hero’s he sacrificed with down.

[Inevitable West @Inevitablewest]

🚨BREAKING: British veteran breaks down live on TV over state of the country:

"Rows and rows of white tombs for what? A country of today? No, I'm sorry. The sacrifice wasn't worth the result.

I fought for freedom, and it's darn-sight worse now than when I fought."

To child benefit cap should remain

If you can’t afford more than 2 then why should taxpayers cover the cost?

Who else agrees?

Said this before but I’ll say it again. Just one lifetime ago in the UK, our grandfathers could buy a home, buy a car, have 3 to 4 children, wives could stay home, take annual vacations, and then retire… all on one middle-class salary. What happened?
We had same day GP, ambulances within minutes, dentists, good education, decent public transport, clean river and beaches. So AGAIN WTF happened?
