“UK must prepare for war scenario, government warns”. This is appalling and I would argue for investing as much if not more in preventing this scenario as we should in simply building a defense against it.

Am on holiday in Turkey and decided to get work done on a couple of teeth while I’m here. Why can I get the same level of quality professional dental work done here in Turkey but at something between a fifth and a tenth of the price of the same in UK? Something badly awry in the UK dental system.

I don’t think I’ll ever get used to a coffee and a sausage roll being £10:40 - even in the burbs (ie not city prices). Gregg’s being the only remaining sanely-priced shop left!

@richakraborty.bsky.social This is me on Bluesky. I’ll let you know asap on poss dates for an RSA coffee.

Great quote from Little Dorrit relevant as much now as in 1855 “…It is true that every new premier and every new government, coming in because they had upheld a certain thing as necessary to be done, were no sooner come in than they applied their utmost faculties to discovering, How not to do it”.

Just finding my way around BlueSky and look forward to linking and chatting soon.
