You don't wanna get vaccinated. Social distance. Wear a mask. Nothing. But you somehow want us, the public health workforce, to make all the bad things go away.
With what? Magic?
"I'm travelling to Par, in Cornwall, where my Bradshaw guide tells me Sarah Vine was once unable to get a seat on a Bank holiday weekend when she travelled on a different train to the one which she had reserved."

As we mark the 100th anniversary of the beloved Winnie-the-Pooh stories, The Queen has presented a very special gift to the New York Public Library, reuniting baby Roo with his friends from the 100 Acre Wood.
The Library is home to the original collection of toys owned by Christopher Robin Milne, son of A.A. Milne, which inspired the characters in the beloved Winnie-the-Pooh series. The collection is missing Roo, the baby kangaroo who was lost in an orchard in the 1930s.
The new addition of Roo was created by Shropshire-based company Merrythought, who also created the original toys.

Bishop of Willesden on the Iftar : "The public iftar in Trafalgar Square was not an act of cultural imposition, nor a signal of division. It was, rather, a moment of hospitality: an invitation to share in the breaking of the fast during Ramadan, extended by one community to the wider public. It was open, generous and peaceful. It reflected something profoundly British; the instinct to gather, to mark significant moments together, and to make space in our common life for the traditions that shape our neighbours.
"To suggest that such an event is somehow threatening risks misunderstanding both the nature of religious expression and the character of our national life. Religious freedom in this country has never meant the privatisation of belief. It has meant the opposite: the right of individuals and communities to live out their faith openly, visibly and without fear. That principle applies as much to Muslims observing Ramadan as it does to Christians celebrating Easter, Jews marking Passover, Hindus celebrating Diwali, or Sikhs observing Vaisakhi." https://t.co/zksAk3tqhv
People who watch the new body cam footage and think "yeah, this woman deserved to die" just cannot be reasoned with. Peak delusion.
Agents surround her car and she panics, poorly trained agent steps in front of the vehicle with his phone in his hand (????), then he shoots her in the face three times.
Doesn't matter if they were there to protest or not, it's your right as an American and should not be a death warrant.
"Fucking bitch." Seek God.

The world knows this unforgettable melody and sings it in numerous languages. “Shchedryk” (Carol of the Bells), inspired by a Ukrainian folk carol, became a global symbol of Christmas.
It was composed by Ukrainian Mykola Leontovych, born on this day in 1877.
Leontovych was a teacher, composer, and choir conductor who dedicated his life to recording and revitalising Ukrainian folk songs.
His music carries a special kind of magic: no matter the language, the melody resonates with joy, hope, and the spirit of celebration.
Leontovych was tragically killed in 1921 by Soviet secret police for defending Ukrainian culture. But his legacy lives on, and "Shchedryk" continues to unite people around the world.
“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”
“Because that’s what they are.”

Apparently 75% of those who got the Covid shot are dead and the other 25% regret they got it
Anyone out there who has had the Covid vaccine, is not dead, and does not regret it?
