1) I haven't been on FB for a while but I just logged on and found this. I have to share for people to understand the anguish caused by this selfish bastard Tory Government to my dear friend who lost her 13 year old son last year. These are her words @BorisJohnson @mrjamesob 2) From Emma 'Please feel free to share. Or tag BoJo, or number 10 or whatever. My eye’s been off the ball due to trying (and sadly failing) to keep my kid alive for the past couple of years.
Aahhh the day number 10 were having their party, bless."'

1)I want to talk about contact tracing and why it isn’t working. This is just my personal view, but I am sure it’s not an isolated example (excuse the unintentional pun). On Friday 13 members of my family met in my sister’s garden. Two of them visited my dad, so that’s 14. 2) Around 8pm my youngest son (age 20) did a positive Lateral flow test and we all did negative ones. Over the next couple of hours he did 3 more positives. It was too late to get him a PCR. We were camping outside (not my 88 year old dad obviously- he was at his flat)

Covid hasn’t gone away. Don’t kid yourself. My 20 year old son and 25 year old daughter have both tested positive. Neither of them are vaccinated. They live in Bristol. They have both entered their details into the app. So far no close contacts have been alerted by the app.

1) How mad is this? my husband is highly vulnerable and been shielding since March. Other than moving house from Monmouth to Ceredigion hardly been out. Not been in any building not our home. He takes anti rejection medicine following a kidney transplant in 2012. 2) Because we have moved we have changed health authority. First thing we did on arrival was register remotely for new GP and start request for repeat prescription of his medication. His old specialist wrote to GP. GP referred him to new specialist in Swansea.

1)My nephew was sent home from school and told to isolate. My sister and brother in law been trying to get home a test. They live in Portland, nearest test site identified on website was Southampton but no tests available. #TestingShambles 2) They kept trying for 4 days but could not book a test. Sometimes online for 4 hours at a time. Putting in all the details only to get a website error message #TestingShambles

There’s something really odd going on with testing and I wish a journalist would look into it @guardian. Why are there no tests available? Why are people being sent 100’s of miles. Why are there test centres not showing on the website? I just keep hearing odd things. Three walk in test centres in Bristol not showing up on the website. The website showing no home tests available and not possible to book a test. But walk to the test site and you get a test

1)A thread on Ancestral Responsibility in light of the BLM Movement. I would like to say that I believe that the roots of good and evil are the same. We cannot change the past but we can change the future. How? By speaking out and sharing the truth. 2) These are my Great Grandfather’s photos of building a railway in Africa. So what? What’s that to do with me or you? This thread isn’t meant to be a perfectly referenced historical talk, it is simply my emotional response to part of my family history.

I’ve realised that there is this awful bit of family history lurking in my past that I have always just accepted and never really questioned.

My Great Grandfather was very good friends with Cecil Rhodes and one of the first white men in Southern and Western Africa with him. I’ve always just accepted this as a fact and never really questioned it. Felt uncomfortable but shrugged it off.

Thread 1/

Funeral (Every time we say goodbye)

After falling, she kept falling; never got up again. Like Alice tumbling into another world, headfirst not knowing where the bottom would be or what we’d find when she got there. 2/

You sort of assume that once a person dies that’s it. That a system, a process will appear and support you. After all you’ve never done this before.

1) I have to tell the story of my European friend who is married to a Brit and has British children. He built his life here; restored the family home here. Then he took a job in another EU 27 country where
on a contract until he retires. He will never, be able to apply for #EUSS 2) despite paying taxes here, having his children here and living here for decades , he hasn’t been in UK enough in last five years; isn’t currently resident so can’t apply. In retirement do he and his wife live in separate lands? Fuck you Brexit and all your racist supporters
