Fit GP who loves people, judo,weight training and my Honda 750 DCT. One of seven children from the happy poor.

Pathfinders and airborne medics have jumped into Tristan da Cunha, the remotest inhabited island in the world, to treat a Briton with Hantavirus. The British territory has no airstrip. The closest Royal Navy ship was days away and oxygen supplies were critically low.

If it's a jew being stabbed, we get police bodycam footage within hours. If it's a bunch of little white girls being stabbed, there is a media blackout for 6 months and we get arrested for talking about it. Got it.

The civilian is the only one who tries to disarm him. The two Policemen are happy to just kick him in the head.

Tried to get a GP appointment. Told to go to A&E. Go to A&E. They say go to walk in GP centre at Northern. Go to walk in GP centre and see….. My GP. The system is utterly broken. #NHS #HealthService #GP

How is that wrong? What am I missing?!

This bloke is a complete idiot. Our enemy is within. It isn't Iran, or Russia.

This is true. World aquatics offered a third category at a World Cup in Berlin a few years ago, not one trans swimmer turned up. Trans males want to race females & trans females stay in the female category for obvious reasons.


It’s 2026. What’s your view on this?

Is the article in 2018 connected to Scott Mills ? - either way BBC knew about a radio star being investigated for child sex offences in 2018

I am afraid Starmer is right about this. The BMA is putting patients’ lives at risk, and that should be anathema to any doctor. thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/…


She wasn’t angry because she hadn’t been listened to. She was angry because she had—and the answer was still no. A thread 🧵 Patient with a seborrhoeic keratosis. Assessed. Derm advice done. Reassured: harmless. But removal? Not funded. Not commissioned. Not within ICB criteria. No service available. She didn’t want private care. Completely reasonable. From her side: “Why can’t this just be sorted?” From mine: Because the system has already decided it won’t be. That’s the real shift in general practice. We’re no longer just managing illness— we’re managing access. And increasingly, restricting it. The consultation was about to tip. Then a loud beeping started. Louder. Louder. I woke up. It was my alarm. And that’s when it hit me— I’m now dreaming about resource management. Not burnout. Something else. The cognitive load of constantly holding: • patient need • system limitation • policy decisions • shrinking capacity With April contract changes coming led by @wesstreeting and @DHSCgovuk, this tightens further. Set nationally. Felt locally. Patients aren’t the problem. GPs aren’t the problem. But we’re the ones in the room when the system says no.
