Was this #dogwalker a #whitewoman by any chance?
Because for the life of me, I do not get how all can ignore what happened to #myson #AmbroseGGBall in 8 solid years unless it was @MPSHaringey posting up all the wrong information, wrong days and dates,
the wrong locations, wrong description of clothing , the wrong Fox pub, all different times of the night, leaving out the vital information leading up to during and after my son went @missingpeople, did not response for 56 hours after all the calls myself and others had made over

In previous years, the Palace of Westminster clockmakers have the huge responsibility of changing the time on the four faces of Big Ben's Great Clock. Watch this behind the scenes video to find out how it's normally done.

But with the restoration of Big Ben and the Elizabeth Tower, things are different this year. We've installed an electric motor to drive the temporary hands on the visible clock face, while the original hands and clock mechanism undergo essential conservation work.

Are you missing the sound of #BigBen?
Big Ben will ring out again this evening between 8pm and 10pm, as we test the mechanism which includes a 200kg striking hammer. This is in preparation for Remembrance Sunday and New Year’s Eve.

The chimes have been paused since August 2017 while vital restoration work takes place. Parliament’s clock mechanics disconnected Big Ben and the quarter bells from the clock mechanism and lowered the weights to the base of the Elizabeth Tower to provide a safe environment.
Did you miss the chimes of Big Ben last week? @BBCNews recorded the first time the bells have chimed in months. Have a listen.

July 23: Real world vs #iPetGoatII a (9/)11 ton iceburg threatens a small town in Iceland, stunning shots that lineup nicely with the scene, that is likely symbolic of the pending Iran attack by Trump (who head might be first floating island)

just playing the game of 'free association' what do I see, what does that remind me of, took me to an interesting possible tangle, the google doodle of today is similar to the woman in the 11 ton iceburg CNN article, which when I copied and pasted that (there was no other place)
made me also think of 9/(11 ton) and the odd stick the google doodle is holding looked like a microphone
so searched for 9/11 reporter cnn, 9/11 reporter cnn female, 911 reporter ->the guy on first page stuck out
Then realized arms were bare
house flipped closer
many beheads
