I'm having a rough go of it lately, and have been thinking: everyone is going through something, and you have no idea what it is, or how it's affecting them. Quote post this is if you're going through something, and maybe we'll all realize that we aren't as alone as we feel right now.

Everyone I know used to vote labour including the family, now I don’t know anyone who would consider Labour, even if we had STV I don’t know anyone who would even have them as the second option. Labour will smashed to pieces next year.

They all know they can be pardoned by tRump, so have no concern for consequences. The supreme court ruled tRump himself wasn’t subject to the rule of law himself, and so now he effectively has free reign. Lastly there are no effective means now that exist to stop him.

The Moon reflects the light of the sun. 3 days a month that light is at its maximum output and so a werewolf transforms from human to wolf. But that means during the day they would also be a wolf. More often a wolf than human, that can transform into a human most nights where the moon isn’t full.
