Genetics plays a part. First choose your parents carefully..
Having worked in medicine keeping fit and well is essential but I have seen the unhealthiest of ppl not fall foul of cancer and the fittest be consumed by it. Never trust a homeopath or alternative medicine if you have symptoms always see a doctor before it’s too late. 🙏

Retired paediatrician who for several years was based in Homeopathic Hospital (it was built as such, had their remnants there). We got cite-alerts they used 1901 textbooks (which would have been funny if they weren’t still referring to it!) They could’ve cured Trump but it didn’t sound nasty enough

You were just a wee lad. I read your book but loaned it to my eldest and never got it back. I’ll have to nudge him. Locking up children is abhorrent. So is murdering your own fellow Americans.
After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

I've just used Good Law Project's tool to email MPs on the Council of Europe and let them know they don’t have to bend down to Sex Matter’s transphobic threats.

Stop Sex Matters infiltrating the Council of Europe
In just one week, the Council of Europe will be voting to ban conversion therapy. This would be an incredibly important step to stop the rollback in the rights of LGBTQ+ people. But Sex Matters is inf...

In UK we have much better gun laws. I’ve read even preschoolers on your side of Atlantic may have Barbie themed weapons (hope I’m misinformed!)God protect Minnesota.
Something to keep in mind about Minnesotans protesting unarmed with guns being pointed at them is that they more or less ALL have access to a gun, but are choosing not to bring one.
Bravery isn't holding a gun. Bravery is standing up to other people holding a gun.

I remember Thatcher destroying Scotland. Perhaps Starmer isn’t quite in her class, but time is telling…
Checking cinema seating plans for Melania The Movie brings back memories of being unemployed in 1980.
The local cinema gave free entry to UB40 holders in the afternoon. I had the surreal experience of seeing Airplane! for the first time completely on my own.

Sure Start was great. (Retired community paediatrician). Reform holds Kent County Council but in spite of reputation Tunbridge Wells voted Remain & has Lib Dem MP & borough council.
NHS thriving after record investment, EMA and Surestart effective in pre school and 16-18, child tax credits, active members of EU, stable government, respected abroad, a credible serious Opposition
We don't want a return to that nonsense.

Yes, Minister/PM are still my favourite political satires. Starmer is more malleable than Hacker.
Badenoch has pitched her electoral tent and said only a diminishingly few voters are welcome in it.
Sir Humphrey Appleby would describe the strategy as "brave"

Why do you think I hope for independence for my native land🏴). Easier to hold dodgy politicians to account if there are only 5.5m of you.
Left: France to ditch US platforms citing security concerns
Right: UK gives billions to US platforms
France, in the EU, is investing in their sovereignty
UK, outside the UK, is giving away our sovereignty

I’m an innocent Scot so the idea of a government “shutting down” sounds preposterous. Shame it hasn’t shut Trump and friends up or made guns illegal for his pals!
So the government shutdown doesn't affect the ICE thugs? Then we have no government. ABOLISH ICE and throw the trash administration in the dumpster.

May my God bless every USA citizen who sees what Trump is, and has the courage to protest. Declaring war on his own country?!! 1930s have returned.. you’ll know about what happened then…
Remember: Telling lies that everyone knows are lies is a classic tactic of dictators to force their followers to side with them over the truth itself.
But the public will not be gaslit. We will continue to spread the truth to our communities.
Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.

I’ve fluent French. Macron looks angry -justifiably and sounds serious about the threat from USA to democracy.
President Macron, "Recent events confirm that the situation in Greenland is a strategic wake-up call for the whole of Europe"
"About asserting our European sovereignty, about our contribution to Arctic security"
"About the fight against foreign interference and disinformation"

So education at private schools is as bad as Wodehouse said. (They went to same school). Glad for my Scots state education; I know more Latin than old Etonians.
