The Frame
by Sonja Moore

A photograph, still upon a white window
Gathers the curls and the smile of a girl,
Strong and awakening in a plated frame.

She watches, at dawn, the shining east
And the sleeping form of her sister;
In summer, in winter, she stays all the same.

Through the starlit glass, I hear her laugh,
Gentle and calm, like mine;
She rides on the wind, calling my name.

I keep this shrine, still on a white window,
Still with a timeless expression,
With her back to the west, a dying flame.

Has anyone actually read one of her Novels?

I doubt they will ever be on the School English curriculum.

Quote: After Cartland originally had decided she would like to be buried in her local parish church, featuring a coffin of marble construction, covered in angels, this was later changed; she was buried in a cardboard coffin, because of her concerns for environmental issues.[28] She was interred at her private estate in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, under an oak that had been planted by Queen Elizabeth I.[29] Cartland left a gross estate of £1,139,123, but following debts and liabilities, the net sum was nil. She had once admitted: "I have no idea what I make....Occasionally I ask, 'Are we in debt?' We always are.

Many media outlets this morning are reporting that many medical types are saying that the Strep A problem is being caused by children having poor immune systems caused by the lockdowns keeping them shut indoors and / or masked at exactly the point they should be exposed to other people to develop immunities.

However, as you might expect, the Independent Sage people take a different view.
They say, predictably, that children have weak immune systems because of exposure to Covid, and therefore the problem is we did not lock down hard enough or long enough, and in fact to avoid further damage we need lockdowns and masks again.

I'll tell you what, how does f*ck off sound? Deranged twats!

At the start of Covid, we were told the aim of the lockdowns was to prevent the NHS being overwhelmed.

Well, it now clearly is. We have children dying of Strep A, and the ONLY reason for that is that the NHS was overwhelmed and couldn't see them quickly enough.

This is partly due to a huge surge in flu cases, and also a huge surge in Covid cases.

It's time to accept that in winter, we will need to sacrifice our freedoms to save lives.

A full lockdown is needed immediately, until the end of February, to allow the NHS to catch up.

Let's try and get some fear back for Covid:
Coronavirus cases in UK rise above one million

Oh make sure we put a scary picture up with that article as well.

And if that doesn't work, we've got a new one to scare people with:
Third child dies from Strep A in a week
