I left X to escape the toxicity and trolls, and avoid pointless jibes from ignorant and unpleasant folk who feel the need to be unpleasant. I have had to block one such miscreant - let’s hope this is atypical

Every #NHS appointment cancelled as a result of BMA intransigence and anyone put at risk is caused by unrealistic salary expectations on the part of doctors who strike. “Above all do no harm” Hippocrates would be against the strike

Someone selling their 5 bed house in Richmond for £2m says it is not a mansion - he may be right, but he will have £2m in his bank when sold, and should pay more for this asset.

Solar Farms in Cornwall and Devon are welcome. Ignote nimby protests - less than 1% of farmland is needed for solar. We should also put panels on barns, factories and shelters. All homes should have PV panels... I paid for mine in 2015, but importantly we contribute to reduction of global warming.
