We can't expect others to truly understand how loud the trauma "noise" in our head is. We are responding to conditioning that is VERY effective in hijacking our attention & physiology.
This is why we can't just "gut" or "vibe" our way through recovery-- we need plans & tools.

The right to trial by jury has been a fundamental feature of the British Justice System for over 800 years. Any attempt by the government to undermine this fundamental freedom - a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism - must be opposed

Best understood, Labour's attack on juries, as a further lurch towards authoritarianism. Who, now, will stand in the way of a State that wants to imprison its opponents?

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.
How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

I had a long conversation with someone earlier about COVID. They said so much sickness around, so many they know getting sick. I simply said the WHO told us several years ago that ago ‘hundreds of millions will suffer post covid condition’ we were told. It’s not a surprise, sadly no health messaging
