Ian Haig@IanGHaig·
This is Alex Haig, Ian’s son, writing. It is with great sadness I wish to announce that Ian passed away on the 24th of February 2023. Ian was a loving husband, proud father, doting grandfather, reliable friend, excellent engineer and mentor to many. He is much loved.

@paullewismoney You could ask about this from Jackson Plating in Hounslow.

@paullewismoney You could have it bead blasted back to bare metal then replated with copper or nickel. If it is actually solid brass shot blasting back to bare metal then repolishing should work.

@GregHands Disingenuous, not just Labour, was also opposed in the Lords by Chris Patten your predecessor as Chairman of the Conservative party.

Tonight in the Lords, Labour has voted against our new protest powers for police. The British people don’t like seeing their daily life brought to a standstill, by a tiny minority using extreme tactics.

Countries are investing hundreds of millions into developing Proton Beam capable cancer centres. Spain for example is spending a huge amount of money... Here in the UK - three centres are empty, gathering dust. State-of-the-art cancer treatment and we're being left behind.

@IanGHaig @Hill_Museums Live in that area, our house was built in 1936. Still have one of the original fence posts in our garden.

@RogerMorton11 @Hill_Museums I believe this is looking towards the south. think pre 1938 as there are no houses on the right side of the photo, this is now Orchard Drive, I believe built by Try's just before WW2.

@Hill_Museums I think more likely the Edwardian era, judging by the dress. Cowley Station opened in 1904, so perhaps then.

I also had a dream that 17.4 million voted to leave the EU & with your childish petty behaviour over the past few years we have proven to be right. Stop this divisive politics, we're out ! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Proton Beam Therapy is revolutionary cancer treatment. Countries around the world are investing hundreds of millions into these machines. UK capacity is desperately short, yet we have three state-of-the-art centres PBT capable laying empty during a cancer crisis. Insanity.

Since I’ve seen reports of people placing bets on me being the new party chairman, please be aware that I will absolutely not be returning to politics in any shape or form, including that one.

@LeeAndersonMP_ You might want to check out what the Right Honorable Elizabeth Truss M.P., your recently elected leader, was up to at their age before sneering.

@SM_Fletcher @avfletcher Yes, far more effective than fuses. Although one's chances of surviving a mains voltage shock are a lot higher than most people think. I think fuses are only useful for reducing fire risk not protecting life.

@avfletcher I am fairly sure Steve will have installed miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) and a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) not fuses. Although there is of course a fuse in the plug. Be interesting to know what "blew" in this case. Generally MCBs and RCCB confer better protection.

A sincere thank you to everyone for the support. Proton Beam Therapy is one of the most cutting-edge cancer treatment technologies in the world. UK capacity is desperately short already, so to have three machines unused is mad. Oncologist colleagues abroad cannot believe it.
Professor Karol Sikora@ProfKarolSikora

Seeing these world-class cancer centres empty was emotional. A scandalous waste of the highest quality equipment. Delays are killing, yet these facilities gather dust. Please watch/share and hopefully Equitix (the decision maker) will act for the sake of thousands of patients.

@XsightXray @MargaretK Lego bricks are very precisely made and make excellent test phantoms. Do you know the true value of the 7.91mm dimn.
