  1. #HarryPotter fans, who knew!

    #BOGGART, s. - A bugbear or scarecrow, an unreality and thing powerless to do injury, which works in a frightening way on the imagination.”

    ‘Cheshire Glossary’, p.25 in “A Glossary of Words Used in the #Dialect of #Cheshire”, Egerton Leigh, 1877.

  2. Many folk will never have heard of or have forgotten the life-long actor #CliffRobertson. In 1978 the mini-series #WashingtonBehindClosedDoors (1977) was broadcast in UK, and I developed a man-crush on the character of William Martin! Ha ha ha Some will recall CR’s rôle as #UncleBen in the noughties’ #Spiderman saga.

  3. @blakandblack Thx for following back. Appreciated! 🙏🏻🌈💕🤓 I have been boycotting #Australia except anything certified first-nations since the 90’s. Wrote to UK #HighCommissioner several times on my reasoning. Try to highlight #Aboriginal issues when I come across. Bedridden & brain-fogged since noughties, so cannæ do much these days other reshare info. My prayers! 🙏🏻

  4. “He, who will not reason, is a #bigot;
    he, who cannot, is a #fool;
    and he, who dares not, is a #slave.”

  7. @ContraindiKate @ahimsa_pdx AfME’s involvement, as ongoing supporters of the BPS-brigade is the main point of evidence. Read for e.g. these criticisms, as well as those listed on #mepedia carersfight.blogspot.com/2010/. At one point, it is true, AfME apologised for their involvement - but they unpublished the apology. I take that to mean they have withdrawn their apology in a volte face.

  8. @dom_mecfs I have been a #pwME for 25+ years, #SevereME for 10+. From at least 1998 I have suffered swollen & painful lymph-glands, specifically throat, armpits & R inner-thigh/groin. Whilst there is not a specific entry for “swollen glands” on #MEpedia, there are many articles in which it is mentioned. See for e.g. me-pedia.org/wiki/Flu-like_sym which has links to papers.

  9. Cry 'God for Harry! #England and #SaintGeorge!'. Happy for a bit of red & white.

    However, I am no #LittleEnglander; rather a person who comprehends that humans, creatures, plants, viruses, bacteria, etc. are all interdependent on our tiny speck of the Cosmos. It follows that we need other countries too. Glorious isolation à la BREXIT / BREXSHIT is a cul-de-sac.

    I love that England’s patron-saint is shared my so many other nations and regions of the World. Happy #SaintGeorgesDay folks!

  10. Disability Rights UK (#DRUK), said: “With almost 60 per cent of #Covid deaths being those of #disabled people, it is hardly surprising that the Covid inquiry found that pre-#pandemic planning failed to take sufficient account of those with pre-existing conditions, those living in deprivation or those from minority ethnic communities.”

  11. “The #UK signed the #disabilities convention in 2009, but it has still not been incorporated into British law.
    In 2016, an inquiry by the #UN's Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (#UNCRPD) found that the UK was in breach of three of the Convention's articles
    The same inquiry found that welfare reforms introduced since 2010 had "adversely" affected #disabled people.”

  12. #UK still officially failing #disabled folk, that is 1:5 Brits.

    “The [#UN] Committee [#UNCRPD] finds that the State party has failed to take all appropriate measures to address grave and systematic violations of the human rights of persons with disabilities and has failed to eliminate the root causes of inequality and discrimination…”

  13. @batat Cars are a necessity for many #disabled &/or #ChronicallyIll individuals (c. third of US and quarter UK pops.) to #access health, services & shops. This may be by way of taxi-cabs in urban areas or private vehicles in rural areas. Nevertheless, cars will always be needed. #accessibility #DisabilityDiscrimination #DisabilityAwareness

  14. “There must be a long-term focus on ending lower living standards for #Disabled people coupled with immediate higher financial payments for Disabled people experiencing the devastating impact of the financial crisis.” - But #UKgov will do nothing as usual!

  17. Several years back I purchased three red #Calligaris #Parisiennes in Liverpool. Alas, the red never re-appeared. Today, in the sale, I have purchased a further two clear polycarbonate dining-chairs. Buying from the website, they come next week. If I bought from a local furniture-store they would not arrive until the end of November! Sorry I didnæ #BuyLocal

  18. Trying to find out more about #HUA or #HoursOfUprightActivity. There was nothing as far as I could see on #MEpedia and the #MEAssociation search was not refined enough. Most of the references I came across refer to #BatemanHorneCenter in USA. Below are three images of the aforementioned’s slides shared on #MEAction .net
