Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac – Need Your Love So Bad 🎶
Pure late-night blues. Peter Green’s Need Your Love So Bad is as smooth as it gets achingly soulful vocals, delicate phrasing, and guitar work that says more with one note than most can in a lifetime.

In vast areas of the US, the sentiments expressed in this wonderful letter from a British man about why it's a privilege to pay tax to enable the National Health Service to run would see him probably certified as insane and labelled a "socialist".

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

The social care decision is a craven cop-out by a new government with the majority to act. The timeline for the commission is a giveaway that nothing is to be done. NHS beds will remain blocked for the forseeable and the wider crisis in care is parked for another parliament.

It took 13 years to build a following of nearly 300k on Twitter, and that reach was really useful for charity stuff and so on.
It will take a lot of time to replicate that here, but I'd rather that than have to endure a daily hate-fest. I'm capable of scrapping in one, but It's just not interesting
