Messing about with a camera, mostly. Ex-Emergency Physician, now doing a job with waterways (bit like Cardiovascular medicine, really). Music, books, dancing, dancing to music.
Yeah, you can make sure the bullies win. Just don’t expect to have any lunch money ever again

Not just that… Radio 4 referring to him as an ex-marine. While true, he was discharged after about 2 years with a lot of bad conduct marks. Which is a very different flavour from the implication.

Thank you for taking a stance. The world is like a school playground, and the bullies are winning at the moment.

You’d never guess that in there is Exactly the Same Person as Before, but the signals weren’t seen then so are being denied now.

If any AI is going to be as nasty as my Grandmother could be, then I’ll start believing that AI has some worth.

Do they really think people trying to save for mortgages, or so they have a little bit of a cushion are going to put into somewhere the capital is at risk too?
Stocks are for those who can afford to lose money.

Although no longer in the NHS, I still enjoy reading such balanced words.
Calls like this can also end up with ambulance staff walking into rooms where the “patient” is heavily armed with a large knife, or is agitated enough to cause injury (both of which happened to my husband, ending his career)

And it’s getting worse. Disgusting.
First Angela Rayner,then Jess Phillips, now Rachel.
I hope that women in this country are waking up & seeing what’s happening & turn against voting for any party that the right wing media wants & that means Reform & Tories. Starmer needs to call the media out too.

It’s been very, very clear from the start of this govt that female Labour MPs are the targets of the moment. Faces that don’t fit are being forced out.

I’d be as worried about the first judge who gets their family threatened (physically, politically etc) unless a verdict goes a certain way.

I can only assume that she doesn’t have anyone close to her who walks this path every minute of their life.
Of if she does, they have cut her off
