This is a brilliant threat on some great changes made by a great minister … Barbara Castle.. despite death threats and the fact she was ‘only a woman’!
This week is Road Safety Week & a chance to talk about Barbara Castle!

Barbara was Transport Minister for three years yet she was able to introduce the Breathalyzer, a proper integrated transport strategy & more!

This was done despite fierce opposition.

Think this is why the orange one is so pissed off about it! Can’t have his subjects having access to reality.
Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

She can’t decide which she wants more, to punish me for going on holiday for the week or getting her weeks worth of cuddles in as soon as as I’m home… the latter won in the end… #caturday #proofOfCat

One step forward… female ABC… how many steps back… her role and her relationship ship to a man all come before she is given her own name…

Church of England may have advanced to have female ABC.. but our media called her ‘woman’ and mentioned her husbands name before finally allowing her her own name!

As it ends at 723pm, some will hear the tragic Manchester news for the first time.

At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.

Long shot, but let me know. I will not block joke answers as some people do but I also won't laugh at them. I *might* roll my eyes indulgently.
