May 23, 2025

Kensington has been back home in Michigan for almost two weeks now and Will had just come a few days ago and Ryan and Gabe were joining in a few days.

Kensington could feel her self slowly healing not only physically but mentally, she spent a lot of her days doing physical therapy and going to therapy as well.

She didn’t realize how much of a break she needed from hockey and she had a feeling she’s going to love the sport even more when she gets back on the ice but for now she’s okay being off the ice for a few months.

Kensington was still holding onto quite a bit of guilt over everything that happen the last season and she just can not seem to be able to let some things go, her therapist suggest a change to have a fresh start.

Kensington used her crutches coming out of her appointment to the car where her mom was waiting for her.

Kensington slowly sat down in the passenger seat, “Hi Mama.” She kissed her mom’s cheek.

“Hi sweetheart how did everything go?” Elena smiled softly loving how her daughter seems to becoming more and more herself.

“Good.” Kensington nodded and looked at her mother, “Do you have anything to do now?”

“No i’m free why?” Ellen asked as she started the car and pulled out of the parking spot.

“I uh was wondering if you could take me to the hair salon?” Kensington softly asked.

“You want to cut your hair?” Ellen questioned surprised as her daughter as always loved her long hair.

“I want a fresh start.” Kensington smiled at her mother.

“Ok.” Ellen smiled back quickly agreeing and driving to the salon they go to instead of going straight home.

Ellen parked the car in front of the salon and got out of the car, Kensington followed behind her mother using her crutches.

Ellen got Kensington all signed in with a stylist and let one of the employees guide Kensington to one of the salon chairs so she could sit down.

“Hi, I’m Tori.” A younger woman with bright red hair came over shaking Kensington’s hand.

“Kensington.” Kensington introduced herself smiling.

“So what are we doing with your hair today.” Tori asked as she touched Kensington’s hair.

“Chop it all off.” Kensington bluntly said with an excited smile.

“All of it.” Tori asked and Kensington gestured to right by her ears, “Okay let’s wash your hair and then we can get started.”

Kensington nodded and crunched her way over to the sink bowls and sat down leaning her head back and closed her eyes relaxing as she got her hair washed.

Kensington got back up after she got her hair washed and went back to the other chair and sat back down.

She closed her eyes and listened to the sound of her hair being cut off and she could literally feel the weight coming off as her hair continued to be cut.

“Okay all done.” Tori told her with a smile.

Kensington opened her eyes and a smile spread across her face as she saw her hair and she lifted her hand up feeling how light her hair feels now.

Her therapist was right. It felt like she got rid of so much bad memories and feelings.

Kensington thanked the hair stylist and crutched her way out to the waiting room where her mom is waiting.

Ellen looked up at the sound of crutches and gasped seeing her hair, “Oh my it looks so beautiful.” Ellen smiled as she stood up and gently touched her daughter’s hair.

Kensington giddy smiled at her mom and Ellen softened seeing her daughter become a little more herself again.

They got back into the car and headed back to home.

Ellen walked into the house first with Kensington behind her.

“Was everything okay?” Jim asked in concern when Ellen walked in and Kensington stayed outside the living room and they were back over a hour later than usual form therapy so it concerned the boys.

“Evening is fine.” Ellen reassured, “Kens has a surpise.” Ellen got the attention of the rest of the boys in the living room who were playing a video game together.

Kensington crutched into the living room seeing her dad, brothers and boyfriend all there and she grinned a little.

Will choked slightly as his eyes widen, he has always absolutely loved her long hair but he might change her short hair to his favorite.

Jack smiled getting up and walking over and gently touching her hair, “It looks very good K.”

“Thanks Jacky.” Kensington beamed.

“It suits you well.” Quinn softly complimented he thought the short hair looked very good on her.

“Not bad.” Luke smirked teasingly and Jack who was walking back to the couch smacked the back of Luke’s head making Kensington snicker.

Jim gave her an approving nod.

Jack teasingly nudged Will seeing him staring at Kensington with star eyes and his jaw half open.

Will shook his head snapping out of his day dream and got up and walked over to Kensington and saw her slighty nervous face for his reaction.

“I have a new favorite hair style of yours.” Will softly mused as he curled one of her short strands around his finger malign her beam happily at him with rosy cheeks.

Will leaned down pressing a soft and slow kiss to her cheek and softly mumbling to only her, “You look absolutely beautiful my gray.”

Kensington’s cheeks flashed darker and she hid her face against his shoulder feeling him chuckling.

Will chuckled fondly but brought Kensington over to the couch and helping her sit down slowly and setting her crutches onto the floor and and slipping her sandals off for her before plopping down onto the spot next to her.

Will wrapped an arm around her shoulder making her cuddle closer to him and rest her head on his chest.

“I love you.” Kensington softly mumbled to her boyfriend and best friend.

“I love you too.” Will smiled softly mumbling back kissing the top of her head as he gently rubbed her back.

Second-rate Britain 6

The UK’s official retirement age is one of the highest in the world. Despite having  the fifth largest economy on the planet, Britons are expected to work long into old age before they can draw on their state pension. I gave three reasons yesterday why the government had postponed its plans to raise the pension age from 66 to 68.

“One is fear of social unrest as seen in France. Second, there is an election in less than two years time and raising the pension age is a vote-loser. Third, and perhaps most worrying of all, is that life- expectancy in the UK is falling."

Yesterday I was foolishly optimistic that this delay would be for several years but today it was announced:

“The Government plans to have a further review within two years of the next Parliament to reconsider plans for the state pension age to rise to 68.”  (Express and Star: 30/03/23)

So, we might yet see a retirement age of 68 before the end of the decade.

But this is not the main point of today’s observations. A very good reason for NOT raising the pension age is that in the UK life expectancy is now falling, not rising.

“For the first time in 100 years, Britons are dying earlier. The UK now has the worst health trends in western Europe – and doctors and experts believe that the impact of austerity is a major factor.”  Guardian 23/06/19.

Tory government’s have repeatedly deprived public services of adequate funding, which in turn has led to a decline in the quality of these services – from worsening housing conditions to NHS staff shortages. The deliberate running down of the NHS has led to massive waiting lists and many patients have died before they can be treated. The last decade has quite literally seen Tory government policies killing people. And before anyone blames Covid for increased waiting lists (which it did), the date of the quote above is June 2019, six months BEFORE Covid struck.

Needless to say, the fall in life expectancy disproportionately affects the poor, which is maybe why Tory governments seem not to care. It is no coincidence that it was the rich who received tax breaks on their pensions in the last budget while the rest of us will soon be expected to work until we are 68. While the rich can squirrel away a bigger pension pot much earlier than before, we will have to labour until we are nearly into our seventies.

Government’s figures show that 

“…females born into the poorest areas are the worst affected. Between 2018 and 2020, healthy life expectancy at birth in the most deprived areas was 19.3 years less than in the least deprived areas between 2018 and 2020. For males, it was 18.6 years fewer.” (Nursing in Practice: 27/03/22)

Life expectancy In the UK only began to fall after 2010, the year the first Tory government came to power after the financial crash of 2008. There then followed a decade of austerity measures and cuts to public services. During this time:

“… while life expectancy rose in most places during the first decade of the millennium, from 2010 it began to decline in some places… life expectancy fell in some urban parts of Leeds, Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool and Blackpool where life expectancy was below 70 for men and 75 for women… there was a 20-year gap in life expectancy between a woman living in Camden (95.4 years) versus a woman living in one area of Leeds (74.7 years). And for men, there was a 27-year gap in life expectancy between areas in Kensington and Chelsea (95.3 years) and parts of Blackpool (68.3 years)”  (BBC News: 13/10/21)

The next time the unelected multi-millionaire Sunak tells us he is putting our “needs before politics”, we might want to insist he puts our lives above the economic interests of his already rich friends.

This Week: 2 special features on war-economy & war-psychology pages 2 & 6

Friday 14 March 1969

One Shilling

Headline: Squatters family given rent-book

Subtitle: GLC climb-down

Kevin McGrath writes: The first solid—and vital—victory of the growing squatter movement in London came last week, with the decision of the Greater London Council to give a rent-book to Maggie O’Shannon.

Maggie, who is a widow with two children, became the first actual squatter of the current wave when, with the backing of the Notting Hill Squatters, she moved on January 18 into a GLC-owned house in Camelford Road, Notting Hill.

She had been living in a squalid, leaking basement flat a few doors away. This has now been condemned as unfit for human habitation. She was joined a few days later by the Matthews family, escaping from similar conditions.

At first the Council blustered. But faced with a street united behind the squatters, and with the certainty of appalling publicity—at best—if they attempted an eviction, the accepted the inevitable and issued the rent-books.

Section header: More Concessions

More concessions have been wrung from Kensington and Chelsea Council, following the action of the squatters. The leader of the majority Tory group has announced that the Council will be introducing rate changes on empty property.

Moreover, five families on the Council waiting list have been moved into Council-owned properties that have stood vacant for up to two years.

But if the GLC has been forced to back-pedal in the name of suffering humanity and public relations in Notting Hill, it can be expected to hit back all the harder where this is politically possible. And the occupation last week of a derelict hope in Drury Lane, by the Arts Lab-oriented “Human Rights Group”, looks the obvious target.

Headline: ‘No one wants the war to end’

The text below is part of a letter sent to a Peace News reader by a nurse working for one of the aid agencies in Lagos, Federal Nigeria. We’d like to thank both reader and nurse for permission to use it.

The longer I stay here, the more frustrated I become. There is a large British expatriate community who discuss the price of fish, and when they’re next going to have their hair done.

The men (middle-aged husbands) are no better, and are only able to talk about the wickedness and corruption of the Nigerians.

Nigeria is certainly more racialist than South Africa, though not as blatantly so, the difference being that 50% of the African population is unemployed.

There are five servants in the house I’m staying in. They get £6 each a month, which is pitifully low.

Section header: Poverty

When I try to discuss the war, no one is interested, except to moan that all imported goods have gone up in price. But as far as I can gather, no one wants the war to end, since it partly solves the unemployment problem.

The soldiers are paid £18 per month, and given a pair of boots. However, when the order comes for them to go into the bush to fight, there is mass desertion.

The poverty in Lagos is horrible to see. Corrugated iron shacks, no water or light, housing 15 people at a time, face the Hosues of Parliament which have been empty for 2 and a half years.

Matches are split in half and sold singly, and children are deformed by their parents to make them beggars.

Oh, how I want to leave Lagos! Do write and tell me about life in London. It seems so far away.

Headline: Saigon: More Repression

A relief worker who was in Saigon till just after the recent Tet New Year holiday—i.e. before the new NLF offensive began—has had the following report forwarded to us by Susan Miles.

The markets were crowded with shoppers. The streets were filled with crowds of people, visiting and being visited, giving and receiving presents and good wishes for the New Year.

There were many Viet Cong in Saigon and the suburbs, distributing leaflets with Ho Chi Minh’s New Year Greetings and caring on the people to support the Viet Cong.

I was told that the distributors were surrounded by sympathizers, not necessarily Communist, so that the police could not arrest them.

Section heading: ‘Normality’

Behind the apparently gay normality is a different story, though many of the people themselves may not be aware of what is happening.

The Government—insecure—becomes more and more repressive. All but one of the committee of the Students Union at Saigon University were arrested at the end of December and the beginning of January.

The one who escaped is, of course, in hiding, but she has written a report which was given to me to bring out, though it has still to be translated.

The only crime of the students is that they discuss peace. A report of one of their meetings, attended by non-students as well, said:

“In a country where it is illegal to discuss peace, much of the discussion was about how to put our ideas frankly and still be lawful.”

A young Catholic priest and a layman, who have taken part in such activities, were called for questioning by the police many times during January.

Section heading: Dictatorship

In one instance, the layman was questioned for 24 hours without a break. The questions are about meetings. “Why did you go?” “Who are the organisers?" The assumption is always that if peace is discussed, then Communists are behind it.

I talked with a Buddhist monk, concerned with how to keep contact with the outside world in what he considered was going to be a very critical period for those who do not support the Government and the war.

He told me that on the radio, during Tea, President Thieu had said he was prepared for a military dictatorship and would destroy the “minority” who were in opposition.

All these people I talked to looked very tired and strained, but by no means discouraged.

Headline: ‘I want the war to end’

Black and white photo: A person is holding a sign that reads:

U.K.

Feed the Starving

Now

In Nigeria

And Biafra

The person with the sign is light-skinned, with dark hair and bangs, and is wearing knee-length leather boots. End photo description.

I randomly saw this old newspaper at work yesterday, and it sent me on a slight depressive spiral. It's some young person protesting the war, wanting peace and for all the hungry to be fed. It's just like the protesters on the campuses right now! And this newspaper is so old it cost ONE SHILLING. The UK hadn't even decimalized their currency yet!

We've really been protesting "the war" for a barely interrupted half century? Just every decade or so they switch up which war it is we have to protest.

Kate Middleton is quite effortlessly - laughable!

By Stanley Collymore   Kate now openly, shamelessly and obsessively doing the Meghan Markle thing of hugging people willy-nilly, except that Meghan did her hugging really naturally, empathetically, and also decidedly, undoubtedly genuinely. Previously and rather indubitably on your Duchess Doolittle's part this was never, ever really done; and this was basically because Meghan was, distinctly herself, naturally and quite realistically doing what was then basically plainly and essentially racially demeaned, by the likes of the same Kate, her brownnosers; Palace flunkies and naturally the rightwing media, as infra dig; evidently debasing royal conduct and must obviously therefore be totally shunned. A regarded as common behaviour to be openly avoided, Kate even recoiled from it when she and William "socially" visited Meghan and Harry at their then discernibly official home in Kensington Palace; Meghan having clearly endearingly, sought to warmly and spontaneously embrace this odiously vile prat, now regarded asininely as a saintly Diva, who then callously racially rebuffed Meghan's affections; the quite predicted Daily Mail's response itself proudly aided and firmly abetted, by its controlled cretins, trollop Karens, and actually clearly effete and sexually dubious Gammons, was that Kate was very obviously in the right, as Meghan's very own brazen, and unwarranted American intrusion, undeniably not British old boy; just wasn't done in Britain. Quite clearly Inappropriate behaviour basically, for a member of their Divine monarchical family and particularly too, a successful stalking, and similarly an expertly skilled social climber who clearly is white and pleasurably, distinct from Meghan who must actually be ongoingly demeaned both for her natural and quite empathetic conduct as well as her own race. Now with Meghan out of the way Kate can't do enough of that same hugging and like herself. Yes, I'm well aware that imitation is basically regarded as the highest form of flattery! But to be effectively quite perniciously one of the major, odious, principal ogres that callously, jealously and racially did, psychologically shove Meghan, and husband Harry from out of Blighty clearly denying their children a life in Britain reinforces from my own, psychiatric training and constructively, working in the NHS, treating sectioned- patients: amongst them clearly dangerous sociopaths and also undoubtedly quite evil psychopaths that Waity Katie is a pretty nasty, and highly dangerous bitch; with some very vile, irredeemable, psychological abnormalities lodged inside her!   (C) Stanley V. Collymore 8 June 2023. Author's Remarks: The Maggie Thatcher regime both consciously and financially self-servingly purposely destroyed the mental health service throughout Britain; the cynical, lying and pathetic mantra proselytized by them was that the UK’s mentally defectives could and should be cared for in their own communities while simultaneously the lame argument went on, saving the taxpayers large sums of money through this unilateral action of the Tory regime. The real reason though, and an utter scam, were the massive amounts of money the Tory regime and its likeminded and avaricious allies in the corporate world could garner for themselves, and actually did so significantly, from selling off these huge and very profitable properties attendant with their enormous building and housing portfolios, land, farming and other commercial assets. By the time all of this had occurred however, I had long left the NHS to embark successfully on another phase of my carefully and skilfully planned career pursuit. During my time in the NHS as a Psychiatric Nurse I did regularly come across and routinely as well dealt with a plethora of truly psychologically sick and damaged individuals of both genders, some of them voluntarily there in hospital with the assistance and encouragement of close relatives many of whom literally wanted to be shot of them; but the vast majority of these patient inmates I dealt with who were incarcerated at my hospital: one of the largest and similarly oldest established mental hospital in England, were there as a direct consequence of being medical as well as criminally sanctioned to be there. People you wouldn’t sensibly turn your back on for a second and where even the eating implements like knives and forks were strictly plastic and nothing that could be remotely used as an improvised weapon was left in their view. In short, both day and night these people had to be and were relentlessly watched 24/7. So in essence I do have a pretty excellent idea of what I’m talking about as I experienced it on a minute by minute, hourly and a daily and weekly basis; having to meticulously be on one’s guard all the time as well as similarly dealing also with the unexpectedly dangerous vagaries of conduct exercised by very abnormal human beings. Camilla Parker Bowles and her protégé Kate Middleton, from a perfectly objective perspective on my part and reinforced with my psychiatric training, and likewise with intense discussions I’ve had and still do with persons I absolutely trust, once worked with and have significant psychiatric training and expertise up to and including consultancy level, fully agree with me on my objective analysis of this odious pair, camellia Parker Bowles and Kate Middleton. And in discussions with these professionals I earlier referred to the name and conduct of similar psychologically impaired individuals like J. Edgar Hoover of FBI infamy and the murder of both John F. Kennedy, his Brother, Martin Luther King and others; Jimmy Savile; Senator Joseph Raymond McCarthy: the classic Irish Stockholm Syndrome asshole who damaged the lives of myriads of people; Bonito Mussolini; Nicolae Ceausescu and Antonio de Oliveira Salazar – go check their verminous bastards  out if you’re not already familiar with them – in their relative conduct to what for years mow Camilla Parker Bowles has been doing and her protégé Kate Middleton is likewise undertaking. There loads of you that think that these two rightwing verminous, racist bitches have the intellectual acumen to base their own lifestyles on any of these aforementioned individuals; and frankly as a decades long Academic myself, Camilla Parker Bowles with her one GCE and Kate with her poor man’s in Academic terms History of Art degree, which only the intellectually challenged embark on clearly haven’t in my estimation. But psychological abnormalities don’t work that way and if you check out the facts you’ll readily find that psychopaths and sociopaths: of which Camilla Parker Bowles and Kate Middleton are every bit as odious as Jimmy Savile in how he odiously operated while appearing to be the epitome of consummate humanity, do automatically have a lot in common with each other. The crucial element in all of this being that they’re mentally sick but power hungry attention seekers with a marked perversion for egregious behaviour towards others they’re specifically envious of or psychologically fear: Diana Spencer in the case of Camilla Parker Bowles and Meghan Markle where Kate Middle is concerned. Quite happy to use any means at their disposal and a rightwing media whose jerks masquerading as journalists but are actually hacks are so devoid of worthy lives that the inherently medieval and monarchical hereditary serf situation with its useless awards and titles mean the world to them. Just look at how assiduously the Daily Mail is promoting even dead monarchies across Europe which the citizenry have rebuked and abolished. Psychopathically sick pillocks who with the dysfunctional lot at the Palace have made a deal: one gets bribes and the other a hush up of their criminality and Jimmy Savile type behaviour and worst. And where do the lot of you stand? Where else but in the queue to fall on your knees to these mother-F idiots who really don’t give a shit about you. And when you get some so-called American prat saying publicly that they wish they were British so they could claim Kate Middleton as their future queen, you really know that not only Camilla Parker Bowles, Kate Middleton and the rest of them have lost the fucking plot but significant numbers of others as well. We can rationally argue why there are so many psychologically sick bastards and bitches throughout Britain, thanks to Maggie Thatcher and co; but what’s the excuse for those in the USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia; is it a genetic thing with you cunts?

Campaigners lose High Court fight over axed ‘pop up’ High Street Kensington cycle lanes

Walking and cycling campaigners had sought a judicial review of the way Kensington and Chelsea council axed the cycle lanes in December 2020 after complaints from a number of residents and businesses. But Mr Justice Lane, in a written judgement on Tuesday, dismissed the claim from the Better Streets for Kensington & Chelsea group and found in favour of the Tory-run council. Better Streets said…

REVIEW

Getting Even by Lisa Jackson

 Blast to the past while reading these two vintage stories written in the 1980’s. The author is a favorite and has been for a while so I opted to request a review copy not realizing that the two books were OLD publications being republished together in one book. I skimmed quickly after realizing this and though the stories are still good, they are of the time they were written and a bit over the top, a bit repetitive, a bit predictable, the characters stereotypical with the woman weak and the man strong. So, if you would like to return to an earlier era without cell phones and experience life back then…definitely do so.

 YESTERDAY’S LIES

Trask McFadden is a Senator who once had a relationship with Victoria “Tory” Wilson that went bad when he gave evidence against Tory’s father and took off for Washington D.C. Tory and her brother Keith have always believed their father was innocent, hold a grudge against Trask, and are not happy when he returns five years later. He wants the whole truth related to his brother’s murder and the final word on who was responsible for that murder and horse-insurance related crimes that took place. He also wants Tory back.

 ZACHARY’S LAW

Lauren’s husband kidnapped her son and daughter then disappeared and she has been trying to get them back for over a year. She has tried private investigators, lawyers, done personal research, and finally goes to Zachary Winters for assistance. The two, of course, fall for one another as they work to find out where her husband and children have gone. This is a romance, a woman seeking her children, and a husband who wanted his children badly enough to kidnap them. It made me wonder why parents can’t have co-parenting work more easily.

 Both books are about righting wrongs and finding truth. Both are well written but of the time.

 Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington-Zebra for the copy to read and review – This is my honest review.

 3-4 Stars

    BLURB

 From the #1 New York Times bestselling author—two timeless novels of revenge in one volume, perfect for fans of Jeneva Rose, Freida McFadden, and Lucinda Berry. “Trask McFadden is back.” Those are words that Tory has been waiting to hear, half in dread, half with longing. It’s been five years since Trask landed her father behind bars for horse swindling, using things she’d told him in confidence. Her father died there, but now Trask insists he has information that could help prove who was really responsible for the crime, not to mention his own brother’s death. Trask needs her help. But he won’t get it, not after destroying her family, her ranch, and the love they shared. Lauren Regis’s ex-husband has kidnapped her children. There’s nothing she won’t do to get them back, including hiring Zachary Winters. The unconventional attorney has made a name for himself by locating people—especially those who don’t want to be found. But he’s got a darker reputation too, and there are rumors swirling about the fate of his ex-wife. How much is Lauren willing to trust him—or to lose?

101 Things You Should Know About the UK Tory Government

Thing 66

Multi-millionaire Sunak and his wife own four properties. Two of these are in fashionable Kensington, London. The family also has a Grade 2 listed Georgian mansion surrounded by 12 acres of land in Yorkshire, and a forth home in California, USA. He also has the recently refurbished 10 Downing Street where he can rest his weary head.

Meanwhile:

“Homeless people who have asked for help from their local council are “trapped” on the streets, sofa surfing and in B&Bs due to a “crippling” shortage of affordable homes, a charity has warned."  (Independent: 20/05/22)

What is multi-millionaire, multi-homed Rishi Sunak doing to help relieve this crisis?

Nothing! He making it worse!

“Sunak to scrap housebuilding targets after pressure from Tory MPs. PM caves in as up to 100 Tory MPs threaten to rebel, leading Labour to accuse him of putting party before country"  (The Guardian:05/12/22)

During his speech to the nation a few days ago Sunak made this promise:

“I want people to feel something that they do not always feel today:

A sense of belonging in the place they call home.

I guarantee that your priorities will be my priorities.”

Clearly, Mr Sunak was not talking to the 280,000 homeless people that exist in England today.

OPEN YOUR EYES . . . A year on. A whole year. And the #government is still posturing like peacocks, caught in a #political playground where the game is to one up the opponent and the rest of us be damned . . . Social housing is dangerous. Deadly. And yet the waiting lists are astronomical because so many of our families in the U.K. have no other choice. The @conservatives have taken and taken without a second thought - our industry, our homes, our money, our lives. Now I’m not saying the U.K. was perfect before the #tories came into power but the only people benefiting from their reign of hatred is the upper echelons; the ones who can line the pockets of other big wigs. The poor are getting poorer; the #nhs is failing fast; the #foodbanks that were becoming so necessary and needed are closing due to a shortage of supply to meet overwhelming demand; our #mentalhealth and services are worsening. I could go on. . . . After the devastation that was #grenfelltower and the utter lack of emotion, care or respect from @theresamay we thought that maybe things would change. We were wrong. Blame being bandied around at the wrong feet. She’s right there - tell her how she’s failing you, our kids, us, them, everyone. . . . Something has to change in this country. We cannot continue being the ants to their #fatcats - disposable, slaves to the system. We need to rise. Make them see that without us this country would fall to its knees. That they need us more than we need them. . . . #fuckthetories #toryscum #grenfell #london #kensington #chelsea #huffpostuk #housingcrisis #housing #homeless #socialhousing #towerblock #neoliberalism #fail
