Also in UK and elsewhere, you can get HPV Vax up to age 45 (not always free), which a lot of folk don't know.
This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news:
They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Felt like this when mortgage payments went up a few years ago - yes, it's horrible to now be paying an extra £200 a month, but that's been happening to renters year on year and there were no sadface articles on that, just "market forces" and "nobody has a right to live in a city"
This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

It was 'complicated and sad' for her to be at her dads funeral in the morning and back to clearing his flat that afternoon, facing a move to a one bed flat assigned by the council in a part of town she didn't know, where her dad was her only connection to the place.

By contrast, my elderly neighbour Gordon needed 24/7 care in his 2 bed council flat. His daughter moved in, saved the state ££s in care costs. Gordon died 11 months later. His daughter hadn't been there 12 months, was 'underoccupying' the flat, she was given 14 days to clear his stuff & move out.
