Please be kind this winter and if possible wear a mask (FFP2+) in crowded indoor and healthcare settings. You might just be saving someone else's life. Stay safe, stay kind ✌️😷
Everything about SARS-CoV-2 weakens us as a species. Population-level immune dysregulation leading to both reactivation of latent pathogens and creating niches for new ones; the politicisation of our response regressing public health and massively amplifying anti-vax ideology.

We must remember that as much as they now claim to be impartial & try as the establishment mouthpiece that is the BBC is, Scotland will always remember the blatant bias which they pumped into our homes during the Indy Ref of 2013/14 where some of their journalists celebrated that unadulterated bias.

Eight child abusers were jailed today.
8 child sexual predators who had been operating in areas such as Gravesend, Gillingham, Swanley, & Margate jailed for a combined 100 years.
This managed not to be the top story on repeat for BBC, itv or sky News.
I wonder why.

We didn't invite him, we didn't want him, why should we pay to host what was really little more than a visit to his golf courses with his family?
So Westminster, invite him over to kiss the ass of the orange Oompa-Loomp, then he wants a wee game of golf where no one in Scotland wanted him apart from Labour
But the Scottish public pay the price for his wee trip. And labour refused to pay for his wee trip.
Aye that's fair! Isn't 😡😡
