At the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we will remember them.
Lest we forget.

After the viral post going round of @BritishGas @BritishGasHelp breaking someone’s locks on their home they need to do a statement for their existing customers.
It’s giving me major anxiety knowing that any company can do this to anyone’s home.
I do NOT want a smart meter, I do NOT give permission for anyone from British Gas to come on my land and fit one not now not ever. I opt out. I also do NOT wish to change to direct debit not now not ever.

We’ve somehow accepted a lifestyle where most of our waking hours are spent working just to afford the privilege of staying alive.
You earn money to cover your expenses, spend your days working so you can earn more money, and use whatever time is left trying to recover enough energy to do it all again.
Then, when someone questions this arrangement, the response is always that it’s simply part of being an adult.
Maybe we’ve become too comfortable accepting a system that leaves people with so little time to actually live.

Honestly, I think we were happier before everything became digital. Give me handwritten letters, family photo albums, Saturday morning cartoons, and a telephone that stays on the kitchen wall.

Perhaps I’m old-fashioned, but I would rather see forests filled with trees and wildlife, farmland full of crops and rivers running with water than the countryside covered in solar panels and data centers.

🚨 Rape culture doesn’t begin and end with an act of sexual violence.
It lives in the:
🔴 attitudes that excuse it
🔴 stereotypes that blame survivors
🔴 silence that protects perpetrators
There is #NoExcuse for abuse — or for the culture that lets rape culture persist.

Britain cannot afford to lose farmers and farmland and then assume that food security will somehow take care of itself.
A country does not become food secure merely because its supermarkets are full today. Food security means having dependable access to food under normal circumstances and during disruption. It means retaining enough productive land, farming businesses, skills, infrastructure and processing capacity to maintain supplies when the world becomes less predictable. That distinction matters.
And right now, the UK government is failing to recognise and address this. They are failing on farming and food security in the same way they are failing on energy security.
Shameful.

A government that makes life harder for pensioners, disabled people, small businesses and farmers isn’t making a hard choice. It’s picking on the people with the least room left to take another hit.
Look at who gets squeezed: the pensioner counting every pound before turning the heating on, the disabled person already fighting the system just to get through the week, the independent shop that’s keeping a high street alive, the farmer working land that feeds all of us. You don’t do that by accident. You do it when you’ve stopped seeing them as people and start vindictively seeing them as an easy target to grab their cash.
There is a difference between asking the country to tighten its belt and going after the people who already have nothing much left to give. Pensioners. Disabled people. Small businesses. Farmers.
Punish those groups and you are not governing. You are revealing what you think those lives are worth.
The Labour government are rewarding public sector workers and screw everyone else.
I’m absolutely fuming with @SNorfolkCouncil why is it every time I need my recycling bin emptied it’s never ever fully emptied nor is my neighbours. I shouldn’t have to call you up every other week about the same situation. Stop hiring people that can’t do the job correctly. Why am I paying my council tax when you are not doing what I have paid for?? It’s utterly unacceptable at this point.
