Patient attends A&E with a chest infection… standard stuff.
Decides to pop outside for a vape and a bit of fresh air because, let’s be honest, the waiting room atmosphere could finish anyone off quicker than the illness.
Next minute… casually clocks a bloke acting a bit off outside the maternity ward.
Not aggressive, not shouting… just that “something’s not right here” vibe every frontline worker knows all too well.
So what does he do?
Doesn’t walk away.
Doesn’t ignore it.
Goes over for a chat.
Two hours later…
🧠 Talked down a “lone wolf” terrorist
🎒 Convinced him to open the bag (yeah… that bag)
💣 Found himself staring at a pressure cooker bomb
📏 Asked about blast radius like he’s doing a dynamic risk assessment
🚪 Moved the whole situation away from the hospital entrance
🤝 Built enough trust to keep the bloke calm
🤗 Given him a hug when asked
📞 Got him to agree to call police before he “changed his mind”
All while his own phone’s dead and there’s not a single staff member in sight to wave over.
Genuinely the most British de-escalation imaginable:
“Alright mate… talk to me… what’s going on?”
No PPE.
No backup.
No radio.
Just vibes, empathy, and absolute nerves of steel.
Meanwhile inside:
Crews stacked 8 deep
Handover delays hitting biblical levels
Someone asking “can you clear please” every 30 seconds
And this guy is outside single-handedly preventing a mass casualty incident like it’s just another shift problem.
Police turn up, job gets wrapped up, and he just wanders back in like:
“Yeah I’m back… still got that chest infection by the way.”
Probably still had to wait for discharge as well.
Massive respect though.
That’s not luck, that’s character. Calm under pressure, compassion when it mattered most.
George Medal couldn’t have gone to a more deserving person.
Proof that sometimes the difference between a normal day and a major incident…
…is just one person deciding to step forward instead of walking away 🚑

PRESS RELEASE: HIGH COURT GRANTS HISTORIC PERMISSION FOR @TMOFCharity The Maggie Oliver Foundation TO CHALLENGE GOVERNMENT ON FAILURE TO ACT ON CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AND EXPLOITATION
This morning the High Court granted permission for charity, The Maggie Oliver Foundation, to challenge the Government on its failure to implement the recommendations of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA). The judgement is a moment of profound significance for survivors of child sexual abuse and for every child in this country whose safety depends on the Government honouring its commitments to reform.
The Court found that following promises from consecutive governments, over the last almost four years, to learn lessons from IICSA to drive improvement in the policy and legislation protecting children, there is a legitimate expectation for them to deliver the inquiry’s twenty recommendations. The judge specifically highlighted the continued permission of use of pain inducing restraint techniques on children, a practice described as amounting to torture by IICSA, as an area where the Government has not justified its failure to act.
The case will now proceed to a full substantive hearing.
Maggie Oliver (former Detective and founder of the Maggie Oliver Foundation) will say:
“Today is a historic day, not just for the Foundation, but for every survivor who has testified, waited and hoped. And it is for every child now and in the future, and for everyone who believes the state’s primary duty is to protect its citizens, especially the most vulnerable. When governments make promises to act and then walk away, children pay the price. Today the court has said, those promises matter.”

In Canada, they've ditched Net Zero
Their once 'green' PM Carney has finally discovered just how bad it is for their economy.
Even the term 'NetZero' has been abandoned
So that leaves just Britain and Australia sacrificing themselves on the NZ Altar
