David Bowie had gone to a private showing of his 1987 movie Labyrinth. Afterward, he’d have a meet-and-greet with a group of children. He met them and had a ball, but one boy was shy and withdrawn.

So Bowie asked the organizers of the event if he could talk to the boy by himself, seeing as though he was “so shy."

The kid wasn’t actually shy — he was autistic. Bowie told the kid he was also scared, too, of everything. He was, in fact, only able to face other people because of a “magic mask” he would always wear. It just so happened the mask was ‘invisible.’

He gave it to the boy. He then acted rather distressed himself and had to make another magic mask, after which he became calm, too. Bowie and the kid just hung out for thirty minutes, and it was a magical experience.

The boy later said he actually felt more confident after meeting David Bowie and receiving his “magic mask."

Bowie reminded the boy of how ‘everyone is shy and scared sometimes, and we all wear masks’. Not every celebrity as famous as Bowie would take so much time and go through such effort to put an uncomfortable kid at ease at an event.

Why has it not already happened.

This is the whole bloody problem. Lying.. making things up to try to smear people. Hiding behind parliamentary privilege. Can’t back up with any dates or sources. Go Kemi..

[Brandubh @brandubh4]

Painfully true.

This is what our soldiers endured, for our Government to throw their sacrifice away allowing mass immigration of a religion which has no intention to integrate. 🇬🇧

[Alan Thompson @AlanThompson58]

This is appalling. As Stephen Timms says, what other reason could there be for it other than to means test the state pension, and exclude people who have other pension incomes? Why aren’t Labour all over this?!!

[Sir Johnny OBE @Farmer_Boycie]

Nelle voted out before @Nigel_Farage 😂😂😂😂 Absolutely brilliant. It just shows people are finally waking up to race baiters. This is a massive kick in the bollocks for @nellarose

Any sport that has a separate women’s category has done that for fairness & to help equal opportunity for humans who are females compared to males. Sport is massively male dominated. Only a 1000 women compared to 11,000 men can earn a living from sport in the Uk. Only 4% of the sponsorship dollar goes to women & yet females are still now told they’re not worthy of fair or safe sport! It’s extraordinary we are here.. mainly based on the cowardly political IOC 8yrs ago stating we can’t assume males or females are physically any different- regardless of every Olympic result ever! And every piece of scientific evidence ever! No polls or consulting sports club members or asking elite female athletes how they felt before they were kicked to the curb for virtue signalling points! They never fail to disappoint just as they let both sides of female athletes affected for twenty years during the GDR era. Speak out for our girls..

[Martina Navratilova @Martina]

More mediocre male bodies taking podium places from female athletes. And it stinks!!!!

[Dr Philip Kiszely @KiszelyPhilip]

Living in Britain 2023 is like dealing with depression or grief. You get on with your life on an everyday basis, forgetting about the awfulness, but then the reality hits you in waves. Hate marches, identity politics, Blob, Government, Labour. Urgh.

The worst of it? You find yourself adjusting - accepting it all. That’s what you’ve really got to fight against.

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

This has just gone live. Woman in pool have had enough of being treated as not worthy of fair sport. They’re intending to take their governing body to court for sex discrimination. Start of many I hope. PLEASE RT. Please support. Let women have fair sport! https://t.co/91Vf0Q5A8K

Practical advice based on actual experience … you may not agree with all of this but Rob makes a compelling case for do-able changes.

Folks I’ve had quite a calm day today yesterday the gloves were certainly off; they are back on but they can easily be remove again should the need arise;

I regularly get a bit of abuse on Twitter so let me share a bit about me & my CV👇

I recall at 19yrs in full Uniform at my passing out parade the Chief Con who passed our parade out spoke with me & others & asked why we joined;

I told him that I joined “to try & make a difference & that’s what I intended to do” He used my words to address the entire passing out parade; he said “An officer told me exactly why we join the police service & it’s to make a difference; policing is not always an easy job but it is both an important & essential one; so go out & do & give your best”

On my very first day of patrol I looked in the mirror in full uniform & spoke out loud to myself; “Norm this is it mate let’s get out there & make a difference”

I hope in my 31yrs I did just that; some abuse me on SM they don’t know me & have never met me; in my career like others I saved lives picked up the devastating of death put many criminals away & almost lost my life Twice protecting the public & was awarded NINE commendations for bravery & outstanding police work!

The two assaults I had broke me as a man & I have been diagnosed & suffer severe PTSD I’ve never had a happy day since those dreadful assaults; I picked up the broken bits & rebuilt the man you see today tough rough rugged & absolutely fearless;

On my darkest days I had wished the knife that deflected off my rib one way had gone the other way & I was gone; I managed to bounce back from that & locked those thoughts away!

I was given a 2nd chance of life & it’s probably because of that that I am so vocal in my views & campaigning!

I campaign about knife crime because I don’t want anyone including police officers to have to go through what I did;

I’ve been at the forefront of police protection campaigned to get victims a voice in court - Now called Victim Impact statements;

I worked with Tracey Morgan who introduced the Anti Stalking & harassment Act;

advised & supported Ann & Charlie Ming who introduced the change in the Double Jeopardy law which allowed the prosecution of two of Stephen Lawrence’s killers;

there are more achievements too;

I took TWO separate 2 year UNPAID career breaks from the police to meet with & support Homicide families & have met about 1,000 such families in 35yrs;

I’ve tirelessly campaigned at the highest level for police protection victim care & advising the public on law;

In 35yrs I’ve conducted over 14,000 Media Interviews & have become one of Britains lead INDEPENDENT & media campaigners on the above subjects & predicted the Knife Crises we have today over 20yrs ago;

I’ve represented policing at the 9/11 memorials on many occasions with the Queen writing to me several times;

In all the media Interviews I’ve done often on high profile/serious/sensitive subjects & 112,000 Twitter posts I’ve not received a SINGLE COMPLAINT;

Yes I’ve been called many things some think I’m a tosser loud mouth agitator etc & that their glad I’m retired BUT? That aside I can look in the mirror like I did on my first day of being a police officer & feel proud & respect who looks back at me!

So if you want to abuse or insult me think & take into account the above it may or may not help with your balance; if it’s your personal hate I can’t change that;

In my small way I am still trying to make a difference like so many others do; it’s so often a horrible hateful world & despite my very strong views/opinions I NEVER FORGET there’s always hope to change things because without hope there’s only despair!

We ALL have to hang on to hope!🤷‍♂️

I’m old now & I’m very tired & I hope when I die some will remember if nothing else that I DID try & make a difference maybe God will be the true

If you’ve read down to here? Fair play👏

Thank You👍👋
