Highly recommended, the Whitstable PEG show. Don't go if you're sensitive to profanities. Do go if you love beautiful, clever textile art and a good laugh. #Whitstable

NHS Trusts, please don't underestimate the impact on staff of not providing the basics: adequate clinical rooms; proper workspaces; functional & reliable IT. Still don't believe in the 'hot desk' concept. Some desks are always hotter than others.

🚨🚨Check this out👇👇A French judge states that Trump sent people from the US Embassy to try to intimidate her during Le Pen’s trial for embezzlement. She says he’s done this to other judges around the world. What do you think he’s doing to judges in the US. This is madness‼️
