Ticketmaster: I know you’ve been logged on for over an hour but we are going to chuck you out now and not let you back in. Sorry about that
@petemorristwit I'm a nurse....last two years, testing and vaccinating hundreds probably thousands(some days we vaccinated over 500) And then in 30 days we see all of these patients again never heard of this ever...those are bites. Probably spider due to pattern.
Want to know why I'm so vehemently opposed to taking the vaccine?
Way back in April my Missus desperately wanted to take the vax. So I under protest I took her. The very next morning her legs looked like this. It frightened her shitless.
Neither of us are touching it ever again
@catherina34@7Clicks@Jenny_1884 More fool you. If you are managing a business then you should expect rewarding for it. No matter how small the business.
@7Clicks@Jenny_1884 Crazy…I have plenty of experience in life jobs ect…however I’m on NMW at 48 and run someone’s business, no one appreciates people anymore! I am a wage slave 🤜🥲😡
I don’t understand why “new” state pension as of April 2016 will rise to £221.20 a week & people before 2016 will receive £169.50 a week. Surely ALL pensioners should be entitled to the higher amount. Why the difference?
@7Clicks@Jenny_1884 This always annoyed me. I was 19, paying my own rent, Bills, utilities and had a child and was more qualified for the job than many of my colleagues yet they got paid more an hour because they were older (many of them lived at home with parents still too)
@JeremyVineOn5@LucyBeresford@Kevin_Maguire@theJeremyVine Tell me how many of them are mums unable to afford spiralling childcare costs. Because 54,000 women a year are being forced out of jobs. Fix the worlds most expensive childcare system if you want people back at work.
Has Britain become work-shy?
More than a fifth of working-age adults in the UK are deemed not to be actively looking for work, meaning there's over nine million not in work nor applying for jobs.
Is this OK?

How can it be right to have targets for breaking up families? Imagine you’re a mother arriving at court, fighting for the right to keep your baby who was removed from you just after birth. Your local authority now says your child should be adopted. Despite everything your barrister has told you about the rigour of adoption law, you will arrive in front of the judge today with even less trust than you had before. And the reason you have lost your last shred of faith is because your council is one of 12 in England that have been shown to set targets for the number of children they aim to have adopted. As a result of several years spent reporting on care and adoption cases, I’m now a committee member of the Transparency Project, a Bristol-based charity dedicated to increasing understanding of family law. It was this charity that made the freedom of information requests that led to councils confirming that percentage or numerical adoption targets were being operated for children in care.
Some councils were open about it. South Gloucestershire’s answer, for example, stated clearly that its adoption target for 2014-15 was 12 children – up from nine the year before. Some denied using targets, but then sent – perhaps inadvertently – internal documents that demonstrated that they did. Cambridgeshire council, which said it didn’t set targets, emailed over a document stating that if its target of 40 adoptions was exceeded, it would need to recruit more staff.
The UK is unique in how vigorously it pursues adoption without parental consent
Nottingham said it worked to a variety of benchmarks, and didn’t mention numerical targets: however it also sent a progress report submitted to the Department for Education that said: “NCC has set an ambitious target of ensuring 55 children exit care with an Adoption Order by 31 March 2014.” The East Riding of Yorkshire sent documents showing that the government had imposed targets during the year 2012-13 by way of an improvement notice. The ultimate decision to place a child for adoption is always taken by a family court judge. But local authorities influence what happens in court, and councils having targets for the number of children to be adopted is ethically repugnant. The right to a family life – where this is safe – is a human right enjoyed by both parents and children. The decision to place a child for adoption must be focused solely on what is the right outcome for that child. Every professional involved should be driven by this motivation alone. Put simply, our laws mean that 100% of children in care being adopted could be the right number – or none at all.
This is not a matter of dry legalese: if you believe in human rights, targets in adoption are dangerous. One risk is that children are earmarked for adoption very young, even when their mothers are pregnant when, if priorities were different, alternative solutions might be found. There are also obligations in case law for councils to put in place support enabling families to stay together. But a number of published judgments have made it increasingly clear that those resources are often squeezed reluctantly out of council coffers, which are down to their last few pennies due to successive rounds of cuts.
Unlike the days when there was enormous social stigma attached to being an unmarried mother, virtually no parents these days voluntarily give up a child for adoption. The most recent figures nevertheless show that 4,690 children were adopted in the year ending 31 March 2016. While the UK is far from the only European country to allow adoption without parental consent, research shows that it is unique in pursuing it so vigorously. In the Netherlands, for example, the average number of adoptions annually is 28.
9 things I wish I’d known before I adopted a child
When the latest adoption statistics showed a drop, this prompted agonised hand-wringing from the government and pro-adoption charities which insist
Crazy footage from 1987 shows SeaWorld trainer John Sillick being body slammed by a huge orca. Sillick was riding on the back of female orca Corky when the male orca leaped out of the water and landed on the pair. Sillick suffered a fractured back, hips, pelvis, ribs, and legs. But he managed to survive.

Just look how happy Prince Harry is. His beautiful blue eyes crinkled & his smile is wide. This man is happy to have his photo taken with H😊. It's lovely to see Princess Diana son, Princess Meghan husband, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet dad, look so free and loving life.
Yup not the only one who thinks that Meghan’s fantasy vacation photo and article in the Fail, With no credit is a promotion for Soho House. So the woman who says Being a Mom is the most important thing in her life, who went to Germany, without her kids. Then supposedly Portugal, without her kids. Now, if you buy it, which I don’t, to this island AGAIN without her kids? There are definitely issues with the photo, and as we all know, Meghan has tried to fool the public before with her photoshopping skills. This is another pathetic attempt to convince the public that these two don’t hate each other, which we saw a few times during their mental health shill show. Look at this photo… they detest each other! And no happy couple has to put out photos and propaganda telling everyone how “happy” they are!
