Staff on a mental health ward should not have to manage imported contempt for women. Illness is one thing. A pattern of hatred that the rest of the country does not produce is another. If someone cannot be treated without terrorising the people paid to care for them, they do not belong on that ward or in this country. The nurses are not the problem. The intake is.

Go looking for the extraordinary in the ordinary, and for beauty in the middle of chaos. It means looking past what your five senses tell you and noticing the divine in everyday things.

Peter Bleksley coming down heavily on Alex Armstrong on GB News yesterday for saying right now he would not fight for this nation I personally think Alex speaks for the mass majority. Peter - How can you not see the reality around you. The UK is not the UK of the 20s30s40s Some towns are unrecognisable as British In some places you're not even allowed to fly our own flag For years kids have been taught British histories bad , we should apologise.. take down our statues and change our road names etc Masculinity is toxic White man bad We have a gov which allows out borders to be broken by boats of illegal males every other day And punishes men for even silently protesting about it! Our Gov use lawfare against veterans They are taking funding from our military Using DEI policies to discriminate against white men being recruited They are pushing through ,dogmatically, the give away of Chagos which weakens us militarily They are pushing ahead giving China - our main adversary in many ways- a major hub in our capital Our statues have been defaced Our Christian culture and heritage ignored and often excused and replaced All our money going to migrants and projects abroad Pushing nonsense like netzero which nobody wants - making food and energy scarce and expensive .. Penalising people for driving or taking an annual holiday ( if they can afford it) Obliterating our economy and manufacturing industry and trashing the employment market Our Gov ignore a long list of things China and Iran have done to this nation.. and continue to do.. Yet constantly push war against Russia whilst Russia talk peace And the Gov want to ask people to give their lives? For WHAT! The UK in 1914 or 1939 was cohesive - was 99.9% white British who followed the same culture- who were taught to be patriotic and proud, and men were taught to be leaders , protectors and to be masculine . And the UK was a world leader in many ways . Our education.. our nhs.. our military .. our industries All that has gone We don't even have free speech anymore - the UK arrests ten times more people than Russia for speech. The UK now is not the UK of then We have no country left to fight for But maybe one day we will. @PeterBleksley @Alexarmstrong

As a nation we do memorials so well. IT HAS NO SADDLE. NO RIDER. AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, A SINGLE TEAR. THIS IS THE NATIONAL MEMORIAL TO THE HORSES OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR. Unveiled in 2018, she stands at Ascot. The horse is simply called Poppy.

Childhood trauma can affect us long into adulthood. ๐Ÿ’œAdverse Childhood Experiences can shape our emotional well-being, relationships and sense of safety. Bullying, abuse, neglect, family violence and other traumatic experiences matter. Awareness is the first step. #Trauma #ACEs
