Happy Birthday to my big brother, the Viking himself Terry Scott - another year down of making more memories together that we can cherish. Thanks for continuing to inspire me to be the best version of myself, and for motivating me to chase goals and dream big! You're the best bloke I know, and I appreciate you more than words could express. Enjoy your day, because you truly deserve it. Love you brah, always gold ❤️ xo

Boris Johnson has said workers should "get back to work in the normal way" & that "for young people it's essential, if you're going to learn you can't do it on Zoom" No shit! The only reason people weren't doing that already was due to your policy! 🤡🌍

The unvaccinated. Every thing is the unvaccinated. Fuel shortages? Unvaccinated. Food shortage? Unvaccinated. Global warming? Unvaccinated. Vaccinated people catching Covid despite being vaccinated against it? Unvaccinated. [@RealCarlVernon: "How does the flu completely disappear, and then come back worse than ever? Serious question."]

I truly believe that the only meaning of life is finding true happiness, in whichever form that may be. We are born, we live, we die. It's a bitter pill to swallow, but the reality is that most of us will never make a huge impact on the world as a whole - however, we all have the potential to find happiness, and that is contagious for those around us. Surround yourself with positive people, find the rainbow in every storm cloud, and remember that when you die, none of this will really matter anyway. Just be happy, and enjoy what little time we have.

The only thing certain in life, is that one day it will end. It is precisely that awareness of mortality that should drive us all to be the best version of ourselves, and to embrace everything life has to offer us. Make sure that when your story is finished, the pages are filled with inspiring achievements, enviable memories, and most of all, evidence of a life that was lived. ❤️

If Covid Vaccines are 96% effective, why are Vaccinated afraid of catching Covid still? As long as Vaccinated can still catch and spread Covid, having rules in place to "protect them" from the Unvaccinated makes no sense. They can still catch it from other Vaccinated attendees. [@Join_ZOE: "Should the UK introduce vaccine passports? Yes 12.7% No 87.3% 43,156 votes· Final results"]

09/10/2021

If anyone's argument is about to be that the vaccine is "only 96%" effective, and they're worried about that 4%... ask yourselves why people may have hesitancy about vaccines where being in the small % of adverse reactions can lead to paralysis, heart conditions or even worse...

10/10/2021

[@EssexPR: "Lets spell it out. If the Government was still so worried about this pandemic, they wouldn’t be sacking tens of thousands of nhs workers & carers at a time they will be needed. This will end up costing far more lives than those that probably have antibodies, not getting a vaccine."]

Welcome to the era of a global pandemic where I'm more afraid of Government mandates and experimental vaccines than the pathogen itself.

So it works in indirectly increasing the vaccine uptake, but doesn't work in preventing transmission or reducing cases? Sorry, explain to me again how it works for the purposes being advertised, that is, protecting the already vaccinated from catching Covid...

Imagine getting infected by a disease you've been double vaccinated against, after catching it off someone else who has also been double vaccinated against it, and still believing that vaccination is the solution to the situation 😅

Happy 9th Birthday to my little Frogyo 🐸 over the years, you've had many nicknames, obsessions, interests and passions. I've been blessed to witness you develop, evolve, mature and grow into such a smart, creative, and amazing young lady. Even if you are a little sassy ass with the attitude of a teenager already, who refuses to have nice smiling photos much to your Dad's frustration! 🥺 - you're still my little princess who loves being carried up to bed and read a bedtime story, tucked up, looked after and spoiled ❤️ you are the apple of my eye, the centre of my universe, and I love you more than words could ever express. Have a great day my little bug, Dad loves you most ❤️🦁 xxxxx

"How Not to Kill Yourself" is a surprisingly insightful journey into the human psyche. "An ideal death of course, is by choice. Though certainly not an early one. Not one before all is said and done. I'd like to go out, aged 112 in a ship explosion, while being targeted by ninja assassins or stabbed 12 times by boarding pirates. I'd like to go out like Boromir in Lord of the Rings, except with more arrows. I'd like to go out like a martyr, saving the world from some alien catastrophe. By being the one to press some big red apocalyptic button; a feat only made possible by my heroic self sacrifice. For which all the world will remember me. And believe me, I'd milk that scene for everything it's worth. I'd like to go out by having a cardiac arrest in bed with a dozen skilled nymphomaniacs, some of them still brushing stray specks of cocaine off their bodies, as the police and ambulance arrive; the police arriving first thanks to the noise complaints caused by a wall shaking volume of hard rock that aggressively ushered me to my signing out of this world. That's assuming I have any complaining neighbours on my private tropical island. Sorry. I'm not really. Dying in a puddle of piss and tears, having half vomited my overdose back, likely spending 4 hours dying in a hospital in intense agony due to my own inability to do the job properly. Firing the wrong gun at the wrong part of my head, and spending the rest of my life comatose and dribbling, and unable to communicate "switch me off you bastards!" Jumping off a bridge that wasn't high enough and cracking my legs, spending the rest of my life in a wheelchair unable to do anything for myself. And yet cared for, slash guarded, every second of the day, forever preventing me from a "lets try that again". Fuck off. Let's take a time out from the thrust of all this rhetoric and give you some tips of the trade. The trade being; a professional miserable bastard."

Cannot possibly be true. I was called a conspiracy theorist for saying this (and pointing to evidence about it).

Lockdowns didn’t work. Masks didn’t work. Sanitizer didn’t work. Nor did perspex screens, one-way stickers & social distancing. Not even the vaccines have worked. Public health is actually worse off with the NHS backlog, and the economy is fucked. What’s the exit strategy now?

"During the study period, there were 38,096 Covid deaths in Italy, among which 33,620 were unvaccinated, 2,130 had received only a single dose or were infected shortly after inoculation before antibodies had formed, and 1,440 were fully vaccinated. The average age of death in the vaccinated was 85, and that on average each person had five underlying illnesses when they caught Covid. In contrast, the average age of death among the unvaccinated was 78, with those people having four pre-existing conditions on average." I don't understand young healthy people panicking about Covid and being injected with vaccines that could cause permanently life altering adverse reactions, or may have some unknown long term health impact. It's utterly bewildering to me.

Ilysha just randomly asked me: "Dad, can people with no arms still go swimming?" 🥴😂

23/10/2021 @18:51

At this point, I have no choice but to accept that the FACT that Covid vaccines DO NOT STOP TRANSMISSION WHATSOEVER is an inconvenient TRUTH that is being WILFULLY IGNORED. We all know it. It's fucking obvious. Yet the world keeps pretending otherwise to push a false narrative.

23/10/2021 @19:06

For my sanity, can we please for the love of God stop pretending that Covid vaccines prevent transmission and infection?! They don't. It's clear as fucking day that they don't. This is the kind of fuckery that makes me think we are living in some fucking kind of alternative dimension clown world. Collective psychosis of the masses just denying a blatantly obvious fact because it's inconvenient to the narrative. They said it would stop transmission. It doesn't. That is the reality. It's shit, I know. Trust me, I wish it worked as they'd promised too. They said the vaccines would end the pandemic. They haven't. Cases are no better off now than they were a year ago. Covid can survive inside animals and mutate, and come back into the population like every other coronavirus ever; even if every single person was vaccinated it wouldn't be over. That's why they can't eradicate the cold or a flu. Coronaviruses come from animals originally, obviously they can still carry it. Swine flu. Bird flu. Bat flu. It's going to be boosters every 3-6 months due to waning protection if you want to continue this charade. A dice roll on myocarditis, GBS or whatever other side effects they identify every 2-4 times a year. Forever. Please let's stop lying and playing make believe that the vaccine provides robust immunity FFS 🤦🏼‍♂️ I am so fucking fatigued with this fucking pantomime of bullshit that so many people play along with. Wake up!
