Fellow Mudcatters,
these BS threads are what you make them.
I posted a link to a story about
Britain's newly named Minister appointed to this Commission.
I guess I posted it to a thread
that was about a different topic,
because it really looks out of place
next to all the other posts there.

So here is a thread for the Jo Cox Commission on Loneliness
and,
what does the Mudcat membership think of this issue?

Supposed have been inspired by Jo Cox
and proposed by her relatives and friends.

Creating the Jo Cox Commission on Loneliness is a testament to the impact that She had during a very short career, and a fine way of keeping her memory alive. Our increasingly urbanised, mobile lifestyle is destroying many family bonds and creating more and more lonely people, of all ages, and from all walks of life.

There is a Facebook account about this campaign,
complete with videos.

I'll see if I can make a working link here.

Jo Cox More In Common

Jo Cox maiden speech in the House includes:
"We have far more in common than that which divides us."

Words worth being remembered for.

The newly appointed minister, Tracey Crouch,
was already
Minister for Sport and Civil Society in the UK.

Comic Stephen Colbert probably has nothing against Tracey Crouch
but he made fun of the whole idea of
a British Commission complete with Minister.
