Dad of two, loving husband, nerd. Consultant anaesthetist in the NHS. Opinions not my own but those of our reptilian overlords beamed into my brain. Profile banner recalls that time me and the kids planned on running off to join the Galactic Rebellion.

The only explanation for Zarah Sultana is that she has studied the history of socialist parties, written down every mistake they have ever made, and turned that into a to-do list

Utterly devastating news. A great colleague, mentor, and friend. Hard to believe we won’t be hearing his laughter on our delivery suite again. A champion of maternity safety, who lived out his belief that everyone was important and everyone has a part to play in keeping women and their babies safe.
A message of condolence, Professor Tim Draycott | North Bristol NHS Trust
It is with deep sadness that we are sharing the news of the death of Professor Tim Draycott, MD, BSc, MBBS, FRCOG. Tim died peacefully on Monday 24 November following a sudden illness.

Wasn't quite prepared to pick up my kids' Beano and find more biting satire of #AI, #Trump, #Musk, #Bezos than in much of the mainstream press - but they're definitely getting their subscription renewed for Christmas!

A new #BMJInvestigation finds that thousands of locally employed doctors are trapped in insecure NHS contracts with no access to training, career progression, or national safeguards.

Experts warn that the NHS is effectively “behaving like a gig economy employer”

Putting the utter horror of taking things from people who have lost everything aside for a second, these people have sold everything to pay the boat gangs. If you want their valuables you should reopen all the old legal asylum routes and get in ahead of the other bastards.
The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs

This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.

How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home.

I've written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

Trump heard people wanted to see the secret files about a person with a private plane who suffered a mysterious death and thought... Amelia Earhart?

With such a diverse discipline, anaesthetists need to have not only clinical expertise but also the ability to communicate effectively, manage anxiety, & build trust to help reassure patients. Join us to celebrate National Anaesthesia Day #NAD25 this Thursday! #insafehands #AnSky bit.ly/42lfpB8

This is what true “pride in our country” looks like. Well done Nottingham.
Signs of kindness put up along Nottingham road in place of flags
It is not clear who put up the signs, which have appeared on lamp-posts along a road in Nottingham.

Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.

I hope folks enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Still though, wear sunscreen folks.
