Horrifying and tragic. That poor woman. What a nightmare for her family, for the truck driver, and for everyone on that truck.
There are so many people at these long marches. The risk of an accident must be significant at protests of that size. May she rest in peace.

Reply to ‘The Crown’s Jonathan Pryce “Bitterly Disappointed” By “Fellow Artistes” Who Attacked Netflix Drama; Imelda Staunton & Lesley Manville Suggest Reason For “Heightened” Tension Towards Series by Plenty_Marzipan_4477
>Many at Netflix were surprised at the interventions, not least because those shouting the loudest hadn’t seen advance previews of The Crown, and were relying on reports that were often misleading.
I’m surprised that they’re surprised. Upset based on unverified, second- and third-hand information is par for the course these days.

I purchase almost all the books that I read or wish to read. Primarily because we could never afford to buy chapter books when I was a child and it’s a great joy to me now to be able to own books. But also because I wish to directly support authors and editors and all the folks who work on books. Every year or so I’ll clear out books I’ve read and donate them or sell them.
I used libraries so much more frequently as a child. I vividly remember trips with my mom and coming back with piles and piles of books. There was just so much more time to read! Nowadays I’ll check out audiobooks or, if I’ve purchased the audiobook, I’ll check out the print copy for those moments when I want to switch to reading.

Loved that show. That makes at least two unique and fascinating shows with Jason Isaacs that have been cancelled far too soon.
