I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

Absolutely 💯 spot on.
The farmers are fighting the wrong battle. They should be protesting against the supermarkets bleeding them dry and the effects of Brexit. I have great sympathy over those two issues - paying a fair share of inheritance tax (like the rest of us mere mortals) - no sympathy at all.

This is money from A to B, not into infrastructure.
New buyer still wants high customer bills, dividends, low investment.
Only nationalisation can end profiteering, solve crisis.

But they can lock up non-violent protestors for 21 years, because they are a 'danger'.

Watching last night's Graham Norton. James Norton remains my pick for Bond. Right age. Good at both suave and menacing. Handsome but not ludicrously so. A very good actor. I think he would be great.
