Spend a few minutes on your local community social channels and you’ll see conspiracy theorists out in force. Like rats in London, maybe you’re never more than a few metres away….

The brazenness of this claim in light of X link suppression but more, it demonstrates a fragility that nobody should want in a leader. (It’s not a good look for somebody so concerned by vanity metrics either)

Commercial Artificial Plants, Trees & Planters For Hotels, Bars, Office Artificial office plants, bespoke large trees & planters. Bespoke faux flower arrangements for the commercial & hospitality, hotel, bar & restaurant industry.

If it’s for a school it will have to pass more rigorous health and safety checks for installation. I’d look at contract suppliers. Not suggesting this company but this is who came up when I used those terms: www.artificialgreen.co.uk/pages/commer...

What’s the evidence of glorifying? I’ve seen Luigi memes and praise from TikTok for the Easter eggs left along the way (bullet engraving, Monopoly money). This is an individual ‘radicalised by pain’. It’s a sad outcome.
