The poem is how I feel 💔 I live behind an Elementary School. The children yell & scream happily at the top of their voices while playing sport & I will never tire of it or be irritated. That's how ALL children shd be.

This is Brit Racist history I've never known of & it's shameful

A thread worth reading 🥸😅

Hannah Spencer "Running a plumbing business I was well used to dirty grubbiness and there is still plenty of that dirty grubbiness behind me." Hannah sneaks in a shot at Reform. 🤣

Pot-Kettle_Black bro. I seem to recall your sheep-shagging list MP Andrew Hoggard fronted all the Federated Farmer TV pieces for months slagging off the Labour party as an impartial rep of the farmers - then announced his list spot on the ACT list.

November 1971. Chiswick, West London. Erin Pizzey is 32 years old. She is not a lawyer. Not a politician. Not a doctor. She is a woman who talked Hounslow Council into lending her a cold, rundown building on Belmont Road — a former community hall — for almost nothing. Her original plan was modest. A warm room. A cup of tea. Somewhere for mothers with young children to simply get out of the house. Then the door opened. A woman stood in the entrance. She was covered, head to foot, in bruises. She was holding two small children. She was shaking. She didn't want tea. She needed somewhere to hide. Erin let her in. She didn't turn her away. She didn't tell her to call the police. Because Erin had already called the police. They told her the same thing they told every woman in Britain at the time: they could not enter a private home over a "domestic dispute." That was the law. The home was private. What happened inside it was a family matter. When Erin contacted a female civil servant to report what she was seeing, the response was astonishing. The woman told her flatly: "There wasn't a problem of battered wives until you made one." Erin put down the phone. Then she went back to her residents and made sure they were fed. Within weeks, 40 mothers and children were sleeping in four tiny rooms. No funding. No staff. No legal authority. She didn't stop. By 1973, word had spread through quiet whisper networks — one woman telling another, "There is a place. Go to Chiswick. She won't turn you away." That same year, Erin hosted the first National Women's Aid Conference in the UK. Women from across Britain arrived, and they all recognized the same thing at once: what she had built needed to exist everywhere. In 1974, the council set a maximum of 36 residents. At peak times, 150 women and children were living inside those walls — sleeping on floors, on chairs, in hallways. The building smelled of cooking, fear, and something else entirely: relief. Erin was taken to court for overcrowding. She appealed all the way to the House of Lords. She kept the doors open the entire time. That same year, she wrote a book. Scream Quietly or the Neighbours Will Hear. It was the first published account of domestic violence in British history. It used real stories from real women inside the shelter. Overnight, a problem that had no official name was on front pages from London to New York. The movement spread. Refuges opened across the UK. Then Australia. Then Canada. Then the United States. The pattern she created in four small rooms in West London — no blueprint, no permission, no funding — had been replicated in hundreds of shelters across the Western world. MP Jack Ashley stood up in Parliament and said: "It was she who first identified the problem, who first recognised the seriousness of the situation and who first did something practical." She was ranked 14th in a poll of the 100 women who shook the world. She was awarded the Italian Peace Prize. She received a CBE. The charity she founded — Chiswick Women's Aid, which became Refuge — grew into the largest domestic violence charity in the United Kingdom, with over 460 employees and an annual income of more than £33 million. Erin Pizzey passed away on October 4, 2025, aged 86. She never stopped. It all began with one woman, one borrowed building, and an absolute refusal to say no. Forty women and children showed up with nowhere to go. She made room. Share this if you believe one ordinary person, refusing to look away, can build a shelter that holds the whole world.

Never let these people have a trolley. I witnessed similar today at a Med Lab. Old bugger swearing bt wait time in front of children, people obv unwell getting tests, barges off trying to shove past me & a frail old lady in front who I was being mindful of.

Shane Jones wd think differently if the toxic waste ponds were stored in his backyard. They never go away or breakdown, ever!

Imagine if this happened in America? All the MAGA macho men showing up at the gas stations in their bikinis.

BAM! Colombia has announced a historic ban on all new oil and large-scale mining projects in its part of the Amazon Rainforest, protecting an area roughly the size of Sweden. 🌿 Experts say the move could help protect one of the planet’s most important ecosystems—often called the “lungs of the Earth.” 🌎🌳 Nature is amazing. Protect it. #ActOnClimate #nature

This was HEARTBREAKING Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, who volunteered in Gaza, exposed Israel: "I held a lifeless child in my arms. There was no equipment to save him. This is not a war; it is a massacre of the innocent."

Someone take the reins in the White House !!! Live on #Aljazeera #Trump starts with Iran talks & now blithering about anything or anyone he hates & he can do anything faster & better 👿💩🤡

Luxon is responsible, at the end of the day. He is subverting the democratic process. He has to resign

This is one of the world's most powerful tidal #Energy turbines. It can power over 2,000 homes. We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #Energy #GreenEnergy #Environment #Sustainability
