Retired nurse. Will always miss it. I think a lot about doing things and sometimes get round to doing them. Fascinated by different views, even if I disagree.

@AriFleischer 457 British soldiers died helping the US following 9/11, you ungrateful turd

When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US.
France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.)
Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors.
NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

@CerebrAiX @80s_Kidz Pretty sure the sweets in the original post had soft centres. Fox’s don’t.

@bagshaw2112 I loved them. Not to be eaten with your mouth open whilst riding your bike into the wind, though.

@Kevin_Maguire It’s almost inevitable that Trump will put the King in an ‘awkward’ position in one way or another during the visit. He can’t even stick to his scripted speeches.
Just cancel the trip.

Let's be clear about what the Ruminati are, because the name was chosen for us by a newsletter that meant it as a criticism and we kept it.
Gerald is a bull. He eats grass on land that has been permanent pasture since 1763. The grass converts sunlight and rain into protein. Gerald converts the grass into beef, manure, and seven wildflower species in a south corner that had none of them before he arrived. His methane is the carbon that was in the grass two weeks ago and will be back in the grass in twelve years. This has been the arrangement for the entirety of cattle domestication and the net carbon position of British permanent pasture over that period is: improving.
Doris is a ewe. She eats fell grass that grows on land too steep, too thin, too wet, and too acidic for any crop ever suggested by anyone who has actually looked at it. She maintains the open sward structure that forty-seven plant communities and three red-listed bird species depend on. Without her, the fell becomes purple moor grass. It has been tested. There is a control fell. The control fell has been ungrazed since 2004. The control fell has purple moor grass and no skylarks.
Keith is a goat. He eats the things Gerald and Doris won't touch: bramble, knotweed, dock, thistle, rush, ivy stems, and whatever is happening in Steve's garden. His rumen handles tannins and oxalates that would damage a dog's liver. He converts material that would otherwise advance unchecked across the British countryside into cheese, manure, and a net outcome column that has been positive on every row since entry seventeen.
They are not destroying the planet.
They are the planet.
This distinction has been available in every field in Britain since before the policy documents existed.
Nobody thought to look in the fields.
The fields are still there.

@bagshaw2112 I don’t recognise any in that photo, but one of them looks suspiciously like me. 🤔

@TrumpGirlLove Poor little thing. ❤️
If that’s a health professional, what are they doing with a wristwatch on?

@GMB @purpleLJS82 How would these clowns feel if a Motor Neurone Disease charity appointed as their official representative a bloke who identified as having the condition, dressed up as Stephen Hawking, slumped in a motorised wheelchair, drooled and spoke through a speech synthesizer?

Steph Richards is a trans woman who works for the charity Endometriosis South Coast as their parliamentary engagement officer which is a voluntary role, but in the last week, she has seen a tsunami of hate directed her way.
Some women online have called her appointment deeply offensive, but Steph says this is just another excuse for transphobia.
Steph talks to @PaulBrandITV and @kategarraway

A father documents what doctors refused to see… and it’s hard to watch.
Before: a joyful, athletic teen full of life.
After: a battle no one prepared them for.
Diagnosis: PANDAS-- Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections.
This disorder turned a healthy, vibrant child into someone their own parents barely recognized and now they’re in a desperate fight for answers and treatment.
How many families will suffer before something changes? @SecKennedy @HHSGov

Sad night last night but today is a brighter day. The ewe (female sheep) on the left lambed a stillborn and we were unable to resuscitate it. She cried most of the night longing for her lamb after we removed it.
The ewe on the right lambed twins last week, though they were very small. It seems that today she has given one of her twins to the grieving mother to raise as her own. This is a photo of them together with their new children.

@Spikeontour @annie_warman I know that JK Rowling lives in Scotland, but she had problems when she had something built for her children. Ring the council to see whether someone could come and take a look.
