What a moving podcast tonight Abi.

My love goes to J,Brian, Alex and of course the beautiful Lisa.

Thankyou all for contributing tonight.

Iā€™m overwhelmed with anger, frustration, heartache and utter sadness.

I hate this world šŸ’”šŸ˜ž

I feel for Lisa, Alex and others in this family of kind spirited, pissed off, individuals. We know that failure to comply, and accept rules, made by entitled, selfish, delusional mini Hancocks, will probably result in costing us dearly, in many ways - yet we know it's right to make a stand. When the bastards are getting us down, Abi is a breath of fresh, sweary, tuneful, cultured, air.

A very emotional podcast, but even so made me feel a little bit less alone on this rollercoaster of a journey, we are all on ,

Work with vulnerable adults, and Iā€™ve been standing up alone ,against the care services, still out here , speaking up , and being treated rubbish and ignored , but I have a thick skin and wonā€™t back down ! Auntie in hospital tonight, again ,with heart problems, since one AstraZeneca jab šŸ’”

Sending Love to Brian , Alex and Lisa ,

And Thankyou ABi for keeping me sane in a world of Cnuts

Beautiful poems and beautiful piece of music , xx

God bless your darling heart Lisa. Listening to Alex and Lisa's story, even though heartbreaking, is something we can all relate to. In the deafening silence of lockdowns, and yes it was an eerily quiet time in the streets, there were those suffering with us from the isolation and heartbreak of losing loved ones at that time and losing precious time with our elderly parents and families. The stories bring Abi's substack family together knowing we weren't so alone after all. But the damage is done. šŸ˜Ŗ
