The algorithms are making it a lot harder to spread the word about these online talks. Although numbers are still reasonable, it would be a great help if folk were able to give the 30 December event a quick share 🙂

Our political scale has been distorted & propagandized by the corrupt elite to make basic empathy a radical political ideology.
But it's not.
Our barometer is off & a dangerous sociopathy has been the norm for way too long.
That's how we got here: being conditioned into hyper individuality.

Westminster Abbey (and Houses of Parliament) are actually built on an island IN the Thames and then we just built roads over the bit of water and then buildings on top of that and now the whole thing looks solid but god forbid the Thames Barrier fails
While we’re on the subject, I take is Westminster Abbey is completely safe? I mean, not built in a swamp, or at the outer limits of what arches can do, or anything? (Asking for a friend who works nearby).
