This is Oxford Uni sharing the Lancet study showing that giving out NHS contracts to private companies is WORSE for patients.

The Guardian has named the 80 women murdered this year where a man was charged. One every 3 days.

Terrible. So many husbands, boyfriends, even brothers & sons are killers.
What is behind this?

2024 is the year I realised I truly do not understand men.
