@Lenny2627 @kelvmackenzie Well done. It is amazing what you've achieved. Nevertheless it doesn't mean begrudge others what they have. You can make it your way. Others need help. We're all different. Doesn't make it right to stop others getting a helping hand if needed.

@Spoiler_Dog @johnababin @davenewworld_2 Yes. A Government Department of Health would choose in, say, a National Health System.

@deepNVoperative @davenewworld_2 There should be free healthcare for children, at least, in US, at least. The cost of these medications to those in need is horrendous.

@FondOfBeetles Because their behaviour is odious and bullying regardless of who the victim is. Their behaviour is nothing to be admired. Worrying how influential AMP is with young people on YouTube.

@bluzoan @michaelmalice I talk to her about healthcare. When she's unwell she likes to take her temperature, which I've taught her. She shakes medicine bottles and reads instructions with me. I involve her. I teach her. She will not be solely responsible however till at least 16yo, thank you!

@MartinSLewis Ocado as her dad was a delivery driver for them between jobs once. But she knows all sorts brand names by age 6yo (because of school friends) and especially Amazon because of that pandemic and then our most regular visitor was Amazon Man.

@MartinSLewis She asked me if I had a magic card like Grandad. I said no. Mine is not magic at all.

@MartinSLewis This is funny as 6yo and her class learning about money in Y2 now. She already knows all the coins and notes, because I've made her count and pay in shops when she would like something from about age 3yo. But it is also how she and Grandad, my dad, have bonded.

What would boost attendance: prioritising health and happiness above a 'varied' curriculum. Helping kids drink, eat (no more rushed lunches), dress appropriately outdoors, wash hands after toilet/before meals...as one teacher told me in 2021, what a difference handwashing makes.
Strange as it makes kids more reluctant. Strange idea but kids like to have breakfast at home comfy with mum and dad, not be rushed in earlier to school to have breakfast in a hall with rows of other kids. Strange to think this will boost attendance and not make attendance worse.

Headteachers say breakfast clubs will have no impact on attendance “a free slice of toast snd a few games before school' will not change the minds of those not wanting to attend.” 🧐 🥣 @EducationNotTax @CreEnglish

Have we really become so spoiled?
I have joined a Facebook group called ‘Rate My Hospital Plate’. It is truly shocking what some hospitals in the NHS deem healthy nutritious food. Nutrition is such an important part of health and vital to ‘getting better’.. @jamieoliver @wesstreeting

@apiculturalLdn @jamie_wallis @jamieoliver @wesstreeting I hope not. My 6yo child won't touch fancy school dinners they serve. I'd rather they just offered spaghetti hoops with cheese on toast or simple things more kids will eat quickly in limited time they have to sit before play. At least they're fed then. I give mine packed lunch.

@jamie_wallis @jamieoliver @wesstreeting I was in hospital for pneumonia. I had trouble swallowing. Next day dietitian assessment changed diet to puree. I was grateful to lady who brought food and cup of tea daily. I was also grateful for equally fast and free ct scan checking for blood clot in lungs. Perspective 🤷♀️

I'm not going to say whether or not the men in question have a claim to be here, because the issue of migrants is separate in my mind. What I will say is the wording of the police is extremely weak and inadequate, and inflammatory. Protect children no matter the citizen status.
Young migrant men loitering around outside a Primary School filming little kids. All the police can say is "We can deliver some work there around appropriate behaviours and different cultural expectations" Yet again, the safety of little girls matters less than offending men with absolutely NO claim to be in our nation
