Wars obviously. #editbuttonplease

That's funny, I could have sworn he said something about not needing Royal Navy vessels because the war was already won.
You broke it Don, you fix it.

And we wonder how ears escalate.

Join the club! Lots of it around at the moment. Get better soon.

I'm fed up of war being seen as some sort of online game. These are real people whatever differences we might have.

Graphic titled “We think people using mobility aids should be allowed to get away from danger at running speed” A young woman using a manual wheelchair with a power attachment is under a streetlight in the dark. There are a group of people standing just outside the light, looking threatening or at least intimidating. The woman’s eyes are wide with fright. At the bottom, hashtag MobilityJustice and the Wheels for Wellbeing logo

All Disabled people should be legally able to speed up to "running" or "cycling"-equivalent speeds to get out of danger, whatever mobility devices we're using, at all times of day and night, and wherever we are travelling.

People are rightly worried sick about the massive jump in the cost of purchasing heating oil. This is not a luxury – for the more than 15,000 people in North Shropshire currently off-grid, buying oil to heat their homes is a necessity.
