I’m not doing Black Friday this year.
I’d rather be honest with you than try to compete with big brands.
Every purchase genuinely makes a difference to my tiny business.
Shop independent this Christmas.

I’m not offering Black Friday discounts this year because I’m a tiny one woman business and I can’t compete with the likes of Amazon. What I can offer - unique designs, high quality UK made products, customer service from a real person, a warm and fuzzy feeling because you are buying from a tiny independent business.

Protect yourselves from airborne transmission of COVID which can cause vascular & neurological damage amongst other things.

Wear an ffp2/3 respirator
Open windows
Clean the Air
Vaccinate

Vaccines were designed to reduce disease severity. They do not fully protect against infection at this point.
Health Minister, Germany 4 December 2023 66 This second (long Covid) round table was very interesting, lasting three and a half hours. It serves as a unique forum for dialogue among scientists, researchers and those affected by long Covid, facilitating the exchange of ideas. There are many new findings about long Covid. Not all of them are good news. One piece of not-so good news concerns the tact that long Covid is actually still a problem for those who are newly infected. One estimate that has been put forward is that the risk of contracting long Covid now, even after vaccination, is around 3%. Now you may say, "that's not such a big risk", but there are tens of thousands of people who are repeatedly attected in a short period of time. And so, the long Covid problem has not yet been solved. We have also established that there really are many subgroups of long Covid and that we do not yet have a cure. And it was clearly pointed out that we are also dealing with problems here that will challenge society as a whole, because vascular diseases often occur after long Covid. Throughout Europe, we are currently seeing an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease in the middle-age group - from 25 to 50. This is associated with the consequences of Covid infections. We also very often ind cognitive impairment in older people. And one participant pointed out that it may well be like the Spanish flu, where 20 years after the Spanish flu there was a significant increase in Parkinson's disease and probably also dementia. This is something we must pay attention to, as the past infection affects how the immune system in the brain functions, as well as the brain's blood vessels, potentially increasing the long-term risk of these major neurodegenerative diseases. This is why we need to conduct very intensive research. This research has played a major role. What is the overall assessment of the situation now? We have to be careful. Long Covid is not curable at the moment. We also…

BBC

Bias is often in the eye of the beholder

So let’s stick to measurable facts

During 10 yrs of debate about Brexit, BBC QuestionTime had Britain’s Members of the European Parliament on the show 50 times

Every single one was from the pro Brexit minority

47 were from UKIP/BP

23 times Farage

"The information that could have stopped the pandemic in 2020, that Dr. Morawska was desperately trying to teach WHO infection control leaders in 2020, was known for 👉84 years👈 "

And THIS, friends, is why the discourse with IPC & CMOHs is increasingly no longer civil. F**k them all. #WeHaveReceipts

No one in America could have watched the programme at the time without a VPN because iPlayer is geo restricted. I doubt that Trump was even aware of the programme until his allies in the UK saw it as opportunity to continue their long running campaign against the Corporation.

The BBC has told President Trump’s lawyers that it would fight his lawsuit for up to $5bn, claiming nobody in America watched its misleading Panorama programme and it didn’t damage his reputation
BBC says Trump has no case as misleading Panorama did not air in US
