If you are able to afford a couple of quid, why not support independent investigative journalism. It is critically important right now. The likes of @bylinetimes.bsky.social, @carolecadwalla.bsky.social and @peterjukes.bsky.social et al need our support.

No, rest assured I heard it too 😳
I've Just remembered this from Christmas dinner.

Me, @akbea.bsky.social, the boy (11) and my mum (78).

Luckily, I think only I heard Mum trying to identify this cracker gift.

"Is it a butt plug?"

I had to explain (and demo) how a wine bottle stopper works.

Raises questions I don't want to hear.

I put this offer up seven hours ago.

It's been reposted twenty odd times.

But not one request.

OK. One last time (I promise).

The care system is rigged against adoptive parents. The statistics are horrifying. I know Ian & Verity & they deserved better. They and their children have been through such an ordeal.

Please share to help get traction. Thank you.

Not forgotten here.

I have low expectations of this see the light of day, but I'm not going to forget.

So many people and sectors involved in this.

Still waiting to find out what Farage was really doing with Assange too.
So take this in. Straight from the NATO meeting after Russia’s attack Britain’s primary military town, Salisbury, Boris Johnson flew unofficially to party in Umbria with a former KGB officer working for the Kremlin.

Can anyone tell me how this has been forgotten?
