November 2017 RIP Chrissy Brajcic Loved and remembered, always, by Global #Mesh Survivors. Sending out my love to her family, her babies 💔 marieclaire.com.au/women-dies-pel…

One of the greatest ever anti-war (Iraq) speeches by the late, great Tony Benn: “What fools we are to live in a generation for which war is a computer game for our children and just an interesting little channel for news item. Every Member of Parliament tonight who votes for the Government motion will be consciously and deliberately accepting responsibility for the deaths of innocent people if the war begins.”

@models_by_Russ Tough to argue with. Blindly strange pilot from the Government. One tiny caveat, which doesn't make it any better or your argument less valid. The 40k is the maximum for a family of 4, not one individual. It STILL feels like a slap in the face to tax paying UK citizens though.

Dear Prime Minister & Home Secretary, I hope this letter finds you well, fully caffeinated, and in possession of a calculator. I’m writing with what I believe is a modest, fiscally responsible proposal. I understand the Government is offering up to £40,000 to certain individuals to voluntarily leave the United Kingdom. First of all — bold strategy. Nothing says “strong borders” quite like a cashback scheme. Now, I regret to inform you that I am, in fact, a fully tax-paying, law-abiding British citizen. I know — awkward. I appreciate this may disqualify me from the premium exit package, but I’m willing to negotiate. I would like to formally apply for £35,000 to leave. You see, unlike some applicants, I haven’t broken any laws to get here. I didn’t arrive by dinghy. I didn’t require processing, housing, or legal appeals. I’ve actually been funding the whole operation through PAYE for years — which I believe makes me a loyal shareholder in this enterprise. Given that you’re prepared to offer £40,000 for someone to depart voluntarily after entering illegally, I feel £35,000 for someone who’s been here legally all along represents excellent value for money. Think of it as a “Buy British, Get One Gone” discount. For £35,000 I will:    •   Leave quietly.    •   Not require a press conference.    •   Not demand a diversity officer to wave me off.    •   Even carry my own suitcase to the airport. I may also tweet a polite thank-you note on departure, praising the efficiency of the scheme. Frankly, it feels like I’ve misunderstood how incentives work in modern Britain. All these years I thought obeying the law, paying taxes, and contributing to society were the winning strategy. Turns out the real pro-move is to arrive unlawfully and wait for a loyalty bonus. Who knew? While British families are juggling rent, energy bills, and the weekly food shop like contestants on a dystopian game show, it’s reassuring to know the Treasury has located a spare £40,000 per head for voluntary goodbyes. May I ask — is there a points card? Ten years of National Insurance contributions and I get a free exit bonus? If so, I believe I’m overdue. In the spirit of fairness and fiscal responsibility, I am not even asking for the full £40,000. I’m trimming £5,000 off to help balance the books. That’s the kind of responsible budgeting I was raised on. If successful, I promise to:    •   Leave via a scheduled flight (economy is fine).    •   Not stage a protest on the runway.    •   And refrain from re-entering on a small boat to see if I qualify twice. All I ask is equal treatment. If departure is now a funded career pathway, I would very much like to submit my CV. Yours in hopeful relocation, A slightly confused taxpayer

Thank you, Maggie Oliver

Gynaecologist who lied to patient about operation loses bid to have ban lifted standard.co.uk/news/london/gy… 🚨This is constantly being referred to as an isolated incidence- it is not - hundreds were lied to regarding full mesh removal, and we have been left in a complex physical mess shrouded in secrecy which has stopped us from receiving care due to the protection of these doctors - it is not good enough 🚨after being injured by the implanting surgeon the removal process for patients is yet another ‘avoidable harm’ bomb shell dropped on them shrouded in dishonesty and it’s simply not good enough The government needs to issue a fulsome apology for the utter devastation caused to these women through wilful blindness and dishonesty which also led to their cases being dropped - and the government can’t even sort out #redress @wesstreeting @PSCommissioner @DHSCgovuk @ShaunLintern

@RyannnUTD @benonwine Not in the toilet!!!!

@benonwine The only thing I would say, if there is a sign that states where to breastfeed in the restaurant then you could at least respect that.

Surely breastfeeding your child is the most natural thing in the world, why would anyone oppose or be offended by this. Is Breastfeeding in public acceptable?

@benonwine Yes. Completely natural. I cannot believe their attitude !!

Police say the Huntingdon train attackers are a 32-year-old black British man and a 35-year-old of Caribbean descent. They insist it isn’t terrorism. But let’s be honest: if you storm a train and carry out a mass stabbing on innocent people, you’re a terrorist. Simple as that.

Amid the tragedy of the mass stabbing on the Huntingdon train, it was heartwarming to learn an older man risked his life to protect a young girl from being stabbed suffering a head wound himself in the process. A reminder that Britain is still full of brave heroes 🇬🇧

Women harmed by pelvic mesh implants are still waiting for government compensation a year after a major report called for urgent action. Patient safety commissioner Dr Henrietta Hughes, who made that recommendation, called it "an injustice" for the thousands of lives destroyed. Some women were left in permanent pain, unable to walk, work or have sex, after the surgery to treat incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. The government says it remains "fully focused" on how best to support patients and prevent harm. A Department of Health and Social Care official said: "Our sympathies are with those affected”. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The deliberately low sentencing in the Gisele Pelicot case is distressing for women in France and across the world. If a drugged and sleeping 72 year old victim, subjected to the most horrific rapes imaginable and at the encouragement of her rapist husband, cannot obtain maximum verdicts in her case and for every guilty man - what hope is there for any victim who has to fight against the incredible prejudice and stereotyping of rape victims ingrained in the judicial system globally when women seek justice after sexual violence? What hope? Very little. Seriously depressing.

🚨 BREAKING: GAIE RECALLED TO PRISON FOR CHRISTMAS Gaie Delap, a 77 year old retired teacher, has been arrested and taken to a prison in Bristol after being told her wrists were too small for an electronic tag. She had been released from prison to serve the remainder of her sentence on tag, but the company claimed they did not have one that would fit her. Gaie was initially imprisoned for breaking a law that was drafted by an oil company funded think tank - The Policy Exchange. She took action in 2022 to demand an end to new oil and gas licences. This is now government policy.

Being a water company customer in Britain is like having your mobile phone nicked and then being asked to pay the mugger's fine
