This is not MY country anymore. I simply don't understand the oppression of our right to have a sensible peaceful voice, opinion, publicly expressed - versus far right & Farage cultists, racist thugs, in masks against anything forrin. What have we become? Police can't even catch a burglar or care.

Hear hear. "Aftermath" only applies to the risks of #LongCovid after each infection episode for an individual. That's between 1-in-5 to 1-in-10 min. SARS-CoV-2 remains all around us in its evolving mutations, offering zero immunity (even if vaccinated). It's figured immune evasion (as designed?).

The vindictive message every effing month. "Hey, your payment is due". No income, #LongCovid year 6 bedbound, burn your pension & retirement savings some more towards the black hole of meaning nothing - except bankruptcy, debt, and repossession. You don't get used to the depression.

I'm here petal, in W10. With neighbourly psychotic yappy dog barking (I did yell very loudly last night), a pinot noir, and an M&S poulet crumbed thing in a ciabatta roll, sat quietly in red knickers and one flip flop. You did enter my dystopian dreams last night, so I popped a med and woke at 2pm.

Laying out all recovered artefacts, flints, you spot connections between 'sites' or activity areas. Adding in radiocarbon dates, >20 so far, is fascinating. Mesolithic handshakes Neolithic.

2/2 If you lay out all the finds in the lab, spot connections. This area was a persistent re-visited space over millennia. A gathering place? A wetland. Raw material preferences, broken artefacts that re-join over 100s metres. (Spot the early Neo arrowhead ctr-top). Sorry for pic quality.

Not bad, but a few things I'd add - and common - such as dermatological/skin problems (existing psoriasis also goes crazy), random bruising, oral gum-dental, novel infections (visible) such as lesions, boils-carbuncles & fungal, ophthalmic, mucus, hair loss, reflux, organ aching, renal #LongCovid

He's a fifth-grader. Barely the intellect of a teen. That's why he can't complete thoughts or sentences, simplifies everything to his own IQ. As well as being a vindictive, entitled bully. He's simply not very bright, lacks the self-awareness to understand that. It's a cult thing, different reality.

I think E. M. Forster would have annoyed the man boobs and knickers off me. And when he wasn't writing I understand he was ... well ... like a Stephen Fry would be without a twink BF.

Hold my head in hands (as a "Fag" apparently). The "political" in this is the key underpinning. It's consciously manipulated. "Prejudice" needs its fuel to power... well we know who (and the low-IQ). No? It's why the prisons are full. It's generational & cumulative. By design. Uber-Narcissist too.

Is this the encroaching, resurgent, global concept of "the low IQs rule" aka "the far Right" (who need stupidity for their kleptocratic survival)? I simply don't understand, even having been - in my 'corner' or lane - on the receiving end over decades. Perhaps its our genetic doom, destiny.

Reminds me of my couchette from Calais to Rome 1985 Eurorail. But I think we had a few more dead bodies after 25hrs.

Vindolanda 2 : 2 Vinovia are in a pilae tie, extra time, I'm hearing of an auxiliary presence into penalty shots. It's basically Belgians in leather shorts, large sandals & socks... who will face Wroxeter Town in the next heat? Catterick is under the A1 and Eboracum under licensing laws & a pub...

Fishbourne Palace kicked off well bit slid into frigidarium. Welwyn w/good defence, maybe too long in the tunnel? Exeter remain more under the turf, Carlisle having to backfill. Chesters still in the dressing room, but keep an eye on Orpington vs Rockbourne. Bath remains under water. #Hypocaustgate⚽

I was laying on my bed doing Latin vocab revision, having completed 2hrs homework... so some Tory MP comments today about "where 16yos should focus their time" are so delusional as to be prejudiced, a reflection on their own mis-spent lives, bad parenting, entitlement & projection. Teens are savvy!

Anyone remember UK @Channel4News @Channel4 debut Nov 1982? Dad bought me a TV. I was 16 (now voting age). 1966-82 B&W 1 chan, then BBC2 colour (snooker), then ITV burger ads. Then C4 fresh air. Kids more politically savvy than parents. Then Cosmos etc.

Annual threat email from @tvlicensing to declare I don't watch any TV/derivatives. Not since London 2012. Don't miss TV at all, it's crap. Why don't I have to declare no car tax (don't have car), fishing license (don't fish) etc? Why is the British presumption always guilt, threats? "We may visit".

Did a desk-favour task today (for an archaeology group). What should have taken 1.5hrs took well over 6hrs, frequent rests, conscious of the mushy #LongCovid brain, into my year 6. Can feel the damage, inflammation. Huge memory gaps (unless to 1960-70s), short-memory remains a disaster. Scared? YES

"Trump likes Twinks" it has been alleged by many, with plenty of pictorial if not verbal evidence, in addition to a rape conviction, rife with infidelity (even to his "God" who worships him in his "cultism"). Let (or demand) that Ghislaine testify. The international fall-out will be breath-taking.
