Before his death on June 28, 1981, Terry had achieved his once unimaginable goal of $1 from every Canadian. More importantly, he had set in motion the framework for an event, The Terry Fox Run, that would ignite cancer research in Canada, raising more than $850 million since 1980, and bring hope and health to millions of Canadians.

Death of Blair Peach - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org
Clement Blair Peach (25 March 1946 – 24 April 1979) was a New Zealand teacher who was killed during an anti-racism demonstration in Southall, London, England. A campaigner and activist against the far right, in April 1979 Peach took part in an Anti-Nazi League demonstration in Southall against a National Front election meeting in the town hall and was hit on the head, probably by a member of the Special Patrol Group (SPG), a specialist unit within the Metropolitan Police Service. He died in hospital that night.

A primary school in Southall was later named after Peach.[133] The Blair Peach Award was set up by the National Union of Teachers in 2010 to commemorate the former union member and as recognition of exemplary work by current members in schools and Union branches for equality and diversity issues.[134] In 1989 the poet and activist Chris Searle edited One for Blair, an anthology of poems for the young.[135]

The English debutante who staged Nazi orgies as a gift of love to Hitler: She lost her virginity to Oswald Mosley on a billiard table... Then she targeted the Fuhrer​

The English debutante staged Nazi orgies as a gift of love to Hitler

The scandalous life of Unity Mitford is unveiled in a new biography. It goes against the aristocratic family's attempts to paint her relationship with Hitler as 'youthful fancy'. Author David Mitford claims to have reliable sources that show there was nothing naive or romantic about her antics.

Oswald Mosley, in full Sir Oswald Ernald Mosley, 6th Baronet, (born November 16, 1896, London, England—died December 3, 1980, Orsay, near Paris, France), English politician who was the leader of the British Union of Fascists from 1932 to 1940 and of its successor, the Union Movement, from 1948 until his death. Those groups were known for distributing anti-Semitic propaganda, conducting hostile demonstrations in the Jewish sections of East London, and wearing Nazi-style uniforms and insignia.
 
The start of the Body-Positive reality TV show has died from heart complications.
From Zero Hedge
The body positivity movement, at least in the case of women, has been highly promoted by every area of the entertainment media and among social justice activists based on a singular claim: You can be healthy at any size (HAES).

The claim has inspired numerous efforts to normalize obesity in American society as not only socially acceptable but also medically acceptable. While political activism in science is nothing new and has been present in everything from climate change rhetoric to pandemic response, fat positivity disinformation in scientific observation is perhaps the most egregious and widespread. It attempts to ignore or dismiss decades of studies on the negative effects of obesity and asserts that being grossly overweight has minimal or no health consequences.

This argument is often debunked by the very people that tend to promote it and encourage it, as they die incredibly young and from health problems that are usually reserved for the elderly.


Jamie Lopez, star of the body positivity-based television show 'Super Sized Salon', was an advocate of a "beauty at any size' philosophy, more so than a health at any weight ideal. However, social justice proponents often held up her example as justification for the HAES lifestyle. She is now dead, suffering from heart failure at age 37.
To be fair to Lopez, she did attempt to lose weight, dropping over 400 pounds in a year.

But, going from 800 pounds to 400 pounds is still not enough to prevent the myriad of health problems associated with obesity. Undoubtedly, body positivity proponents will try to gloss over her cause of death, but the fact remains that health and weight are indelibly intertwined.

While "beauty" might be treated as socially subjective by some people (studies show beauty concepts are actually biologically ingrained), health standards are not subjective.

Gluttony has long been a despised habit within almost all cultures for a reason - It is a sign of a lack of discipline as well as a precursor to societal decline, and, it is a sure trigger for an early demise.

According to Sportskeeda , her weight at one stage was reported to be over 800 pounds( thats an impossible 360 kilograms), at which time she was completely bed bound. Not surprising, thats like carrying around four large men.
She dropped over 400 pounds (thats still 180 kgs).

The last surviving member of the White Rose resistance movement, which urged Germans to stand up against Nazi tyranny during the second world war, has died, according to the group’s historical foundation.

On her 100th birthday in 2019, the German president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, praised her as a “hero of freedom and humanity”.
Lafrenz was one of few people who, “faced with the crimes of the Nazis, had the courage to listen to the voice of her conscience and to rebel against the dictatorship and the genocide of the Jews”, he said at the time.

The father of the missing Beaumont Children dies aged 97.
Hsa wife died at 92 dome four years ago.
The disappearance of Jane, Arnna, and Grant Beaumont on Australia Day in 1966 became one of the country's enduring mysteries and remains unsolved.
At the time the children went missing, several witnesses told police they had seen them with a tall, thin-faced man with short, blond hair.
I remember the event, it made headlines for weeks.
It must have been desperately sad for the parents to go through the last nearly 60 years never knowing what happened to their children.
It reflected a time when people could happily let three kids go to the beach unsupervised.
You would most likely be pilloried on social media these days.
