As a result of my researches into the death of one of my father’s uncles, the new mayor of the village, where he was seized by the police and handed over to the Nazis, proposes his name be engraved on the village war monument and unveiled at a ceremony. (See ‘The Missing’)

Covid and/or intensive care can be seriously debilitating . I contracted it when there were no restrictions. Why return to that situation when the risk of death and debilitating conditions will be increased?

We feel sorry for those who have unfollowed us for speaking our mind about the government
We’d never want to be so insecure about our views that we couldn’t tolerate other people’s opinions
Please follow and RT if you’re still right behind us, and we’ll keep saying it as it is

Today my office is trawling through all the abusive and racist comments and reporting them to the police. They hide as much of it from me as they can. I know it affects them reading all the vile stuff so I want to publicly say thank you.
& to the racist thugs I wont be silenced.

Trade Unions are still running full steam ahead during this crisis - offering advice and support to members and standing up to employers who are sadly (but unsurprisingly) exploiting the situation for their own benefit. If you’re not a member of one - join one. 1/2

On a side note: if you could see the work that is going on behind the scenes right now with Trade Unions to protect public service staff, you wouldn't think that Trade Unions are "defunct" or "relics".
Join a Trade Union - help keep everyone safe and well. – at Aberdeen, Scotland

Today is Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️⚧️
Being visible isn't always easy. Right now, it may not be possible, and may even be dangerous.
We want to remind our beautiful trans community that We love you, we see you, & we are here for you 💙
