Adele - Someone Like You 
 
I heard that you're settled down 
That you found a girl and you're married now 
I heard that your dreams came true 
Guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you 
Old friend, why are you so shy? 
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light 
 
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited 
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it 
I had hoped you'd see my face 
And that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over

There’s no end to the benefits of donating blood for those who need it. 
 
According to the American Red Cross, one donation can save as many as three lives, and someone 
in the United States needs blood every two seconds. 
It turns out that donating blood doesn’t just benefit recipients. There are health benefits for donors,

Brexit was meant to make Britain global. It has made us friendless 
It is not a secret that Britain is leaving the EU. The coronavirus crisis has dominated 2020 but not 
obliterated memory of the years before. Still, to be on the safe side, the government is spending 
£93m on a Brexit refresher campaign with the slogan “check, change, go”. 
This is aimed at people who have dealings with Europe and might be under the illusion that it will 
be as easy in the future as it has been in the past. No one has done more to cultivate that 
misapprehension than Boris Johnson. The government’s new message on Brexit is to disregard what 
the prime minister used to say on the subject. 
The essential issue here is that Brexit can make EU membership go away, but not the EU itself. When
