Saw them perform BSS live on their 1974 tour at Empire Pool, Wembley, London. My first ‘big name band’ gig.

He’s probably done the sums and realised how much money he’d lose out on if he became PM - no GB News, no US money, not to mention all the other grifts he has on the go.

What annoys me is that they conflate screening with treatment. Having a PSA test, an MRI, or even a finger up the bum, does NOT cause incontinence or erectile dysfunction, but it will tell you if you have PC. Only after that do you agree treatment with the consultant.

Indeed. If he did get away with that, it would probably give carte blanche to any future President to remove any pardon he has granted to his buddies and donors, and the Jan 6 rioters.

He’s seen the polls and hoping that by jumping on the Farage bandwagon, he might stand a chance of getting back on the Westminster payroll. Whatever Reform’s policies and principles (if they even have any) are is irrelevant to him.

Screening does NOT cause lasting damage. PSA is a simple blood test, MRI noninvasive scan, and the only side effect I had from my biopsy was short term blood in semen. It’s only once PC is confirmed that treatments (surgery, hormone therapy, active surveillance, etc) are discussed and plans made.

Given that he was an MEP at the time, would there have been special arrangements for the money he ‘earned’ in Brussels?

I remember the days when the Telegraph was seen as a serious newspaper. Not the batshit-crazy comic it’s turned into. No wonder that they can’t find a buyer for it.

US media companies paid up to try to retain his political goodwill and to keep US regulators off their back. The BBC has no such need, so better to wait and see if he’s bluffing.

I was confirmed with PC after my GP arranged a PSA test. Three months later, had surgery. That was three years ago, and I’m cancer free and back to normal (apart from not having a prostate any more).
Get it checked, lads!
