DrScottHadland: Ask any pediatrician: We're in the middle of a child mental health crisis, with anxiety, depression, and trauma rates skyrocketing. We need more support on the front lines -- more therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists. And funding to support them.
David__Osland: A posh restaurant is charging £850 for a steak coated in gold leaf. Over two million people in Britain use food banks.
BeckettUnite: In 1946 the national debt was over 250% more than the national income. Yet they built a million council houses; the social state; the NHS & demanded access to Universities for working class kids. It’s that ambition for society justice that is needed now.
MontyLabour: Tory cuts to universal credit has left many desperate. Newtown Labour have stepped up this month providing donations to the local food bank.
If you or anyone you know wants to donate, drop us a message and we can arrange a pick up.
Newtown Labour, stepping up for our community
TardisOz: Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led;
Welcome to your gory bed,
Or to victory!
Now's the day, and now's the hour;
See the front o' battle lour;
See approach proud Edward's power— Chains and slavery!
Robert Burns
Angry_Voice: The corporate media class continually platformed, amplified, and outright promoted Farage and his radical-right ultranationalist extremism.
It was mainly left up to celebrities and random social media accounts to actually call him out.
GHQSPIRITS: When chapman billies leave the street,
And drouthy neebors neebors meet,
As market-days are wearing late,
And folk begin to tak the gate;
While we sit bousin, at the nappy,
And gettin fou and unco happy,
We think na on the lang Scots miles,
Tam O 'Shanter
BY ROBERT BURNS
TheyAreAlright: O my love is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my love is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.
So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I;
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry…
- Robert Burns
