A🧵about Pedal Bins in #disability toilets:
1) Having used said toilets over past 4 weeks I’ve found a major flaw in ALL bar one
Pedal bins
With no other way to open them except with a foot

Did you know that 'Nurse' isn't a protected title in the UK? Anyone can call themselves a nurse, even without training. Help protect patients and the profession—ask your MP to sign the petition to make 'Nurse' a protected title! #ProtectNursing #PatientSafety

I took this photo from our back door last night & a knowledgeable friend told me what I was looking at:
Mars, Castor & Pollux:
Below them - Orion & lots of bright stars inc the distinctive belt running left-right & the sword below it running roughly up-down

Agree. But Trump KNOWS that. This was planned. It was unpresidential, incredibly rude, and as Trump showed by his final remarks, only meant for his base.
It has backfired on him though. 👍

This pair of absolute thugs berating, bullying & humiliating President Zelensky because he won’t roll over for a dictator whose forces have invaded his country, raped & murdered his people, bombed hospitals, killed children & filled mass graves in the forests.
What a vile, venal pair they are.

it's not just this. It seems pretty obvious to me that Trump would *love* to be a dictator and sit on a golden throne and have people fawn over him all day long.
Basically a James Bond villain type dictator of the early days with hench men and dancing girls.

He is not just appeasing Putin, he is aligned with him. And every single client journalist, political shill & public/online cheerleader on both sides of the Atlantic is too. Against Zelensky. Against Ukraine. Against freedom. Against the most basic tenets of decency.

Note the fact that they’re not wearing gloves. (Circa 1970s prior to Universal Precautions when gloves weren’t worn for anything except in theatres)
For dressings, we were simply taught good hand washing techniques & we used forceps for a non-touch technique

“Does anyone know when nurses were finally allowed to get married but still work as a nurse?”

If we brought back community care hospitals, A&E would work as it should rather than overflowing with no sign of improvement
City hospitals can have circa >130 acute beds with patients medically fit but unable to go home due to req’ing rehab/care
Imagine if those beds were freed up?
