Boris Johnson condemns Pulling Queen’s statue

Johnson stated he sympathised with the protesters angered via the "tragic discoveries" of mass graves belonging to First Nations children but iterated he opposed "any defacing of statues of the Queen".

Footage online shows members of the left-wing anti-colonialist Idle No More group tying a rope round the Queen's sculpture and tearing it down, chanting "no justice, no peace".

Demonstrators were reacting to information that the bodies of more than 1,000 First Nations kids were discovered buried in boarding schools throughout British Columbia.

In a separate clip, protesters chant "knock her down" as they topple Queen Victoria's sculpture, daubing it in red paint and leaving a "we were children once. Bring them home" sign beside it.

"We of course condemn any defacing of statues of the Queen", the prime minister's spokesperson informed reporters.

"Our thoughts are with Canada's indigenous community following these tragic discoveries and we comply with these issues closely and proceed to engage with the government of Canada with indigenous matters.'

Waabishkaa Ma'iingan Naakshig, who describes himself as a "Land Defender/Water Protector", uploaded footage of the incident and captioned it "I helped tear the b**ch down".

The protesters, dressed in orange shirts to honour the lost children, headed for the legislature as part of the "Every Child Matters" rally.

  The head of one of London's biggest hospitals has expressed concern about losing personnel as a result of stricter vaccination requirements. Front-line NHS personnel in England will be required to get the Covid vaccine starting in April, or they will be transferred to another position. Clive Kay, the chief executive of King's College Hospital, said it was his job to encourage employees to be vaccinated, yet 10% of his 14,000 employees were still unvaccinated. Nadhim Zahawi, a government official, justified the program as "the correct thing to do." NHS staff in England who have direct face-to-face contact with patients will be required by law to be vaccinated against Covid beginning in April. A similar approach has already been implemented in England for social care workers, with care facilities claiming that it has exacerbated the staffing shortage. The NHS is already short of 93,000 personnel due to a serious staffing shortage. Mr Kay was speaking after one of his ...

A UN aid ship carrying food supplies has been allowed to dock at a rebel-held port in Yemen, after the Saudi-led coalition eased a blockade that has lasted for nearly three weeks. The blockade worsened the plight of millions at risk of starvation. Planes carrying medical supplies were allowed to land in the capital, Sanaa, on Saturday but this is the first shipment of food aid to be let in. The blockade was imposed on 6 November after a missile attack on Saudi Arabia. The coalition blocked off land, sea and air routes two days after the Houthi rebels they are fighting in Yemen fired the missile at the Saudi capital, Riyadh. It was intercepted over the international airport. It was earlier reported that the aid shipment arrived at the Red Sea port of Hudaydah, a key Houthi-held port, but the UN now says it docked at the port of Saleef to the north.

Expressing needs in a relationship

Angel
Image
Most of us did not receive formal instructions on how to love. As we were growing up, we learned by observing our parents, siblings, and caregivers, who may or may not have been competent at managing and expressing their emotions. Judging from my personal and professional experiences, most people have a fairly undeveloped emotional skill set. If we succumb to unconscious emotional patterns, we demonstrate the primitive love skills we learned, and the same patterns are repeated generation after generation. We can trace our emotional inheritance back to the original dysfunctional family of Adam and Eve – and we know from the Bible how their children turned out. Healthy couples understand that expressing needs in a relationship is imperative. Without open communication , partners can feel as though their lover doesn't understand them or care about what makes them happy. In reality, the partner just doesn't know exactly what his or her lover really ...
