This little fella did its job very well for nearly half a century (!), but eventually reached the end of its life and had to be replaced by our cardiac surgeons the other day...

my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing.
they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors.
their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen.
their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

I can really recommend the Very Short Introductions series by @academic.oup.com, written for a wide range of subjects.
Everything I’ve read so far has been clear, informative, and concise — a great starting point before diving deeper into a topic.

Exclusive: Yinka Bankole compelled to speak out after Reform leader’s attempts to dismiss hurt of alleged targets
A former Dulwich college pupil who claims a teenage Nigel Farage told him “that’s the way back to Africa” has said he felt compelled to speak out after the Reform leader’s attempt at “denying or dismissing” the hurt of his alleged targets.
Yinka Bankole, who claims he had just started at the school when a 17-year-old Farage singled him out for abuse, said he had decided to tell his story in full after watching the Reform leader’s press conference on Thursday. Continue reading...

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

I don't think its up to the perpetrators of discrimination, harassment or bullying to make a judgment on the damage and pain they themselves caused to others with their vile behavior.
Asked again and again whether he ever racially abused his fellow pupils, as 20 people at his old school have now said he did, Nigel Farage will only say that he never did so in a "hurtful way" or "with intent"

I have recently developed a fascination with regional anaesthesia, especially with regards to chest wall blocks for cardiac surgery.
So, looking forward to this workshop by @esra-society.bsky.social in February.

It's almost like many of us grew up learning a history of persecution & violence.
We don't oppose the Genocide in spite of being Jewish but because of it.
Never again for everyone.

On the other hand, I want to make the UK the most beautiful, safe & fair place on the planet where people live together in harmony supporting & nurturing each other and where poverty, war & prejudice become stories of the past.

Yesterday the UK Home Secretary said in a TV interview, and I quote: "We want to make the UK a less attractive place for people to come." Job well done on that score, I'd say.
I don’t know what to say anymore other than to remind those in power that refugees are human beings with equal rights who, along with their children, deserve a safe, stable & integrated life in their communities and that what they’re breaking now with this performative cruelty can’t be fixed later.
