I certainly would not say that I “knew it would regardless”. After hearing the initial news of the stabbings I had no inkling that it would turn in to this. Even when hearing that the perpetrator had Rwandan parents didn’t trigger any notion of this. I am probably naive, though, and am not...
If they were living in Burnley or Sunderland (with apologies to Burnley and Sunderland, but you know what I mean) they might be ok. If they are training in a hospital in London, where my daughter did, it might be a bit more difficult. And they would be working in an extremely pressured...
There’s been a lot of this coming out from the USA, even giving a name….. which was wrong, saying it was someone who came over on a boat last year, ignoring the fact that he was born in Cardiff.
and let’s not forget that it was Trump’s just chosen running mate - J D Vance - who was making a...
I think Boris Johnson outflanks Blair by several miles. He’s been sacked for lying on a number of occasions….. including as Prime Minister.
but I’d be intrigued to know what you think Starmer has lied about. I’m not really expecting an answer.
After the first reports from Southport, I thought of posting something about making knives illegal, but thinking it impractical Because of kitchen knives etc.

are you aware that, in real terms, channel 4 reckoned that junior doctor’s pay had fallen by 26% since 2008/09? People who are bearing enormous responsibility under great pressure and have people’s...

Apart from anything else, Newport is only just in Wales.
You can’t judge a whole country by that. Quite a bit of it is……. Well….. quite nice!, and that’s a gross understatement.
Labour showing that it’s more important to think about how well employees are looked after, that improving morale in the health service (and eventually other public services too), that treating people decently might go some way to improving the service despite the dreadful pressure they are...
The daughter I have posted about on the ADHD thread is a doctor. She is a junior doctor, and is 40 years of age. All doctors who are not consultants are junior doctors as far as I know, so she will probably always be a junior doctor.
She was very conflicted about striking, but did in the end. On...
My daughter has been recently diagnosed with ADHD.
she is (you won’t like this) a doctor who is trained as a GP but is leaving that to go in to a hospital surgery job - breast surgery. She qualified as a surgeon before going in to GP training.
the Diagnosis itself was a relief for her - actually...
