In today's unfolding drama...

Multiple e-mails from a debt collecting agency in my spam folder relating to PCN for Tfl congestion charges.

Seems to be a legitimate agency that do act for Tfl.

No paper letters from Tfl, or debt collecting agency.

NEW: Bob Geldof lets rip over Gaza genocide.

PRESENTER: "Isn’t it a bit unfair to say this is the Israelis as a whole?"

GELDOF: "Stop it Trevor. If Israelis want to protest, get in your cars. Stuff your cars full of food & drive through that border. Let your own army stop you. Shame on you.”

As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep!

Govt banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe medications.

This should also be banned?

Influence being bought in Govt?

Patients should influence not the healthy & wealthy

It is difficult to decide what I dislike most about UK politics now, especially since it is a @teamlabouruk.bsky.social government.
The handling of welfare cuts.
The support of Israel's genocide.
The predicted backpedaling on Doctor's pay and NHS staff.
The cosying up with #potus.

This isn’t actually a skit it’s real
Trump: It looks like it’s about $3.1 billion

Powell: I’m not aware of that.

Trump: It just came out

Powell: You just added in a third building

Trump: It’s a building that’s being built

Powell: It was built five years ago.

Are Private Eye jokes now... criminal?

PALESTINE Solidarity campaigner Jon Farley was arrested during a silent march in Leeds last weekend. What egregious act had prompted the police to act? He was, er, carrying a Private Eye joke piece as a placard!

£25 an hour for my new cleaner who started yesterday

Doctors on £17 are striking to get £23

The fact that Wes Streeting and Labour are pushing the 'doctors are greedy' narrative while my cleaner charges £2 more, is absolutely shameful

Someone was saying they would ignore the hosepipe ban.
Why?
Cos the water companies should be reducing water loss etc.

It's easy to take the moral high ground and protest viewpoint when you don't actually earn a penny and live off benefits that pay your water bills etc.

I am old enough to recall as far back as 2018 when Cooper sported a suffragette rosette. A reminder that the suffragettes, unlike Palestine Action, actually planted bombs and destroyed property.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.
