3/. The importance of grieving & the power of collective grief shouldn’t be underestimated

Unless we process our grief, it can easily turn into anger or depression - & there is a great deal of that swilling about

Grief is healthy. Necessary

It is the collateral damage of love

1/. #OneYearAgoToday Italy & Spain had locked down

@BorisJohnson said:

“I was at a hospital the other night where I think a few there were #coronavirus patients & I shook hands with everybody, you’ll be pleased to know, & I continue to shake hands."
2/. “And I continue to shake hands and, I think it is very important that we...people can make up their own minds”

A month before, the PM had made the #GreenwichSpeech, where the blueprint for their deadly #HerdImmunity strategy (& the #PalantirPlan!) was laid out.
3/. On 5 March, two days after boasting about shaking hands with COVID patients, @BorisJohnson was asked why UK was delaying lockdown

He replied saying: “One of the theories is that we could take it on the chin”

On 12 March, @Peston confirmed
#HerdImmunity was govt ‘strategy’

Shakespeare says we must "give sorrow words" & he warns that "the grief that does not speak whispers o’er-fraught heart & bids it break”

#COVIDMemorialDay on 5th March, is a day to put words to our sorrow

The importance of grieving & the power of collective grief should not be underestimated

One doesn’t recover from grief. If you are lucky, you heal from grief. But never completely

Unless we process our grief, it can easily turn into anger or depression. amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

Great spot from @ElspethElspeth

Overnight “the photo of @MattHancock mate's pub, the Cock Inn, has been taken off the wall behind him”

The publican, Alex Bourne’s contract to produce millions of vials for NHS Covid tests now under investigation by the UK’s medical regulator. ImageImage
Another great spot, this time by @CarryOnPress

“@MattHancock seems to have replaced the framed photo of The Cock Inn with his cycling proficiency certificate.” 😂🤣😂 Image
The Mirror also picked up @ElspethElspeth’s ‘spot’ that @MattHancock had removed the picture of The Cock Inn.

Exclusive by @mikeysmith the @DailyMirror’s political correspondent.

1/. In 2018, inspired by this tweet👇from the Taco Stop, Texas, I put out a call for space to set up a #TakeOneLeaveOne rail to provide warm clothes for anyone who needs them in winter

A London church - & local shop keepers - agreed to house it for a week
2/. I got a #TakeOneLeaveOne sign printed & attached it to a rail outside the church near my office & filled a rail with warm clothes

What happened next was miraculous

Instead of staying a week, it stayed 3 months & came every winter

& the idea spread
3/. The concept is so simple

As freezing temperatures hit, anyone anywhere can put out a rail & either make their own sign or order one for £20 from alan@adelphigraphics.com

And - thanks to media & SM coverage - #TakeOneLeaveOne rails started popping up around the UK...& beyond
