An interview of my best friend by my best friend about immortality and #cryonics. "Live forever boys! Live forever!" xitter.cf/passingboxes/status/93…
What kind of person signs up to have their head cut off and frozen when they die? We interview a signed-up cryonicist to find out… ed.gr/hvjq

At 16, Chloe Lewin's best friend was shot and killed in her local takeaway. This is her story... #LetsTalk @cbukhelp ed.gr/hha9
Blunt but ultimately useful advice. The more open conversations we have about death, and especially about the costs surrounding death, the better. Be prepared! fairfuneralscampaign.org.uk/… xitter.cf/JohnBirrell600/status/…
Death rate in UK remains at 100%. Think about it. I am going to die, you are going to die, all our friends and neighbours are going to die. We need to accept that death is inevitable and talk far more about death and dying.

Another great piece. Charming photos, too (Nazi parade excepted). That memorabilia, esp. the little shirt with the "Jude" star (a rare item), should be in a museum, where it can properly preserved and show others that hatred extends even to children. xitter.cf/passingboxes/status/92…
For this Remembrance Sunday we talked to Jewish-German refugees Alf and Gerry about their Holocaust Memorabilia. They consider themselves the “lucky” ones: almost all of their families were murdered in the Nazi Holocaust. ed.gr/hobx #RemembranceSunday
