Yummy 😋

It should be illegal for insurance companies to leave people in the lurch when disaster strikes.

It's absolutely INSANE.

Why is it, when I show emotion or express and opinion that's not liked, mostly to a male, I get called an angry or crazy woman.?? 🤔

Charles Bukowski said it best:
doubt is the burden of the thoughtful. Confidence, unfortunately, often belongs to the clueless.

Yep...

Every book lover dreams of a secret library—not just for the aesthetic, but for the joy of being left alone. No interruptions, no small talk. Just peace, quiet, and the thrill of getting lost in another world!

Whatever happened to the ‘rule of law’ in the UK? Even if people can get access to the courts, at best they will get an interpretation of law, not justice.

When parliament facilitates democide.

16m Britons live in poverty.

300,000 a year die awaiting hospital appointment in England.

2011-2020: 1m died due to poverty, austerity, and pandemic.

Last yr 111,000 Britons died in poverty.

Whose rule of law is it?

The photo is an extract of text from this article: Corporal punishments were also used, Biggs discovered. In 1748, the vice-chancellor paid the town crier 10 shillings to whip “10 unruly women”, Spinning House accounts show. Prison inspectors frequently condemned the jail, which the social historian Henry Mayhew called an “abomination” in 1851, noting the keeper pulled the girls’ hair if they didn’t keep quiet and threw them into solitary confinement. “The prison was notoriously cold and damp, and the food was just bread and sometimes gruel,” Biggs said. In December 1846, the 17-year-old Elizabeth Howe died after spending a night in a Spinning House cell with a broken window and a damp bed.
