THREAD 1/10 So, once again you have sidled your way into my DMs unbidden @RoyLilley, requesting that I delete a tweet. I won’t delete the tweet, but as a courtesy I will explain why I said your blog was a “Bit of a misrepresentation of the hospitals position and legal process”.

@hopskipjumpy @LucyGoBag Far simpler to remove the risk than attempt to influence the behaviour of the sort of people who would pose a risk. Not a simple thing to do

@LucyGoBag Curious that attitudes are 'ban them from sale' rather than deal with those who misuse them. So many things are made illegal as collateral damage from the core problem.

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about?

@Get_effed It's not the team (collective) announcing it, it's an organisation, which are always described in the first person singular

@sarahknapton I mean, he did have sacks and sacks of Saudi gold (until FFP kicked in and ruined it). And Keegan was also, self-acknowledged, and incredibly limited manager

Civil servants are now making videos about how little work they do. There are now nearly 550,000 civil servants in Britain. Do you feel like your public services are better as a result?

@DrLKVaughan @mattprescott If anything, it's point 2 supercharged - midwifery culture seeing any medical intervention as a form of assault, and leading to so many cases where help is left too late, decisions left in the hands of people not medically qualified to be making those calls.

@mattprescott Misogyny is a part of it. But I don't think it is anything like a full explanations cos: 1. Maternity is highly feminised. 99% of midwives + 63% of Obs are female. So it's women doing it to women. 2. Modern midwifery can be see as a response to the critiques of O+G as /

Listen to biological-sex realist @HJoyceGender debate unprofessional and unethical writer @AllisonMorris1 over her essay smearing women’s rights activists who don’t believe the lie that males can become female. Morris says that if you believe that, you are like Trump, Musk and the violent far-right.

@AliJaneMoore My own amusing ambulance story is a couple of paramedics telling my girlfriend, when she asked them “Should I give him weetabix or something like toast” - after they’d recovered me from a massive hypo - “Well, either way he’s buggered”. Still going 25 years later 🤣

@BenadamAda @PaperWhispers We say “free at point of need”, so you don’t get hit by a bill post treatment and anyone can access care. It’s not perfect, but it won’t bankrupt you either
