30+ years in the NHS (now retired). I used to be a ‘suit’ but don’t hold that against me. Never tory, NEVER, EVER, TORY!
I respect the decision of senior leaders of broadcast media to determine what we, the plebeian groups can and cannot watch so I must not re-post this message.

Do not repost!

Do not repost

Do not re…

Bugger!😎😎😬

Now what else mustn’t I repost….

@mrjamesob.bsky.social my wife and I (>70 yrs NHS careers) wore a mask throughout covid and for 6 months or so after everyone else stopped wearing them. We continue to ALWAYS wear a mask on an aeroplane and from last week we wear one if we go on a bus. An Oz of prevention is worth a lb of cure

@mrjamesob.bsky.social afternoon James. I wondered when I would ever use this, and then…😂😂

@mrjamesob.bsky.social re Siegried Sassoon’s MC. He threw the ribbon to the cross in the Mersey, not the Thames, he kept the medal and that is what was found a few years ago.
It’s documented in Robert Graves’ autobiography ’goodbye to all that’ that I first read 50 yrs ago

Oh no! I’ve accidentally pressed ‘share’ on as many platforms as I can.
😎
The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social we were actually in Sparta three days ago. They are (now) a lovely group of people, kind Leonidas included, but the anti Israel stickers all over the town are a telling comment on how many of them feel about Israel’s actions

@mrjamesob.bsky.social He hates ‘windmills’ or as we know them wind turbines because there are a load of them in the sea opposite his golf course and he threw a tantrum. He went to court in 2013 to have them removed citing that they would damage tourism in Scotland and he lost his case.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social to clarify the legal position re grooming’ children in the UK, sexual activity with a person under the age of consent (currently 16) is considered statutory rape. I’ve just looked it up.

@jakerichardsmp.bsky.social can you tell me where you got your evidence that freedom of movement was a free market experiment that no-one liked?

I’ll wait….

Reform are seeking (and gaining) funding from overseas using loopholes not yet closed by govt in respect of donations to a political party. I say political party but I doubt if any reform candidate would have the first idea about the facts related to immigration, the economy etc etc.
Right. It’s time to show those scumbags who Britain REALLY is.

Show them that we aren’t racist, aren’t stupid, we utterly despise his mate Trump and that we won’t be bootlickers for billionaires.

If none of that sways you, maybe the fact that he’d privatise the NHS, will.

Imagine being ridiculously wealthy and not having enough decency to wear a dark suit to attend a funeral?

Disrespectful in everything he says, everything he does, everything he stands for.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social sloths have a nutrient poor diet so their metabolism has adjusted over millennia to conserve energy by moving slowly. I was told this by the sloth keeper (😎) at the Diamante eco adventure park in Costa Rica a few years ago www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social the simple reason NHS England was set up was so that the Tories could blame ‘the NHS’ when their austerity prompted budget slashing took effect. I was 30+ yrs as a senior manager and was not allowed to meet Jeremy Hunt when he visited the Trust I worked in. 😂

It’s almost like an essay plan for how the Tories fucked up the country.
Well it actually is a lesson plan…
If you're wondering how we got here, these are the official British "Words of the Year" during Conservative rule

austerity
gaslighting
fake news
populism
post-truth

So @chrischirp.bsky.social is logging Trump's actions under data categories derived from the typical behaviour of authoritarian states as part of an ongoing project. The conclusions are naturally alarming.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says the public want to leave the ECHR

Let him know he’s wrong by sharing this widely
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says

“We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants”

Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR

So here’s the update. The billionaire owner of the Guardian preparing to get rid of a core part of the news org + 100 journalists.
If you’re a Guardian or Observer reader, please share this. The need for a strong, free & independent press couldn’t be greater. Yet, here it is.
