Being a republican he’s up against some pretty stiff competition

I had a friend who was a paramedic with the RAF. They didn’t wear their red crosses, which are supposed to provide protection, as the enemy would target them (a war crime), because it would adversely affect the morale of the troops, having a medic injured or killed.

Michael O’Brien: Wrongly jailed man loses appeal for prison stay refund Michael O’Brien was one of three men wrongly convicted of killing a newsagent in Cardiff in 1987.

This may be legal, but it’s not moral. Guilty people don’t have to pay for their keep, so innocent people shouldn’t either, including those incarcerated before the rule change

If your name is Donald Trump, that is

You need universal healthcare. It is such a difficult thing to achieve that only 32 of the top 33 countries have managed to do so.

To be ten places behind Nixon takes some doing.

Who’s this Geralald Ford chap? Gerald Ford is an assumed name. He was born Leslie King Jr.

That’s a very low bar

Netanyahu is threatening to sue the NY Times for posting this picture of a boy with cerebal palsy who Netanyahu is starving to death.

But don't spread it you wouldn't want to upset Netanyahu.

Would you?

In the UK many years ago we had a comedy series called The Britas Empire, featuring leisure centre boss Gordon Britas. Gordon had an unshakeable belief in his abilities, which in reality were negligible. Disasters occurred in every episode. Gordon was a genius compared to the orange felon

No bar low enough

The number of people in Gaza is not much less than the number in Berlin during the soviet blockade. More than a million tons of supplies were flown in. The air drops, while welcome, are a tiny fraction of what’s needed.

Collective punishment is a war crime.

What do you think?

I’m sure I read somewhere that the male victim was a martial arts expert, who had multiple defensive wounds, but that OJ was unmarked, which suggests maybe OJ really wasn’t the killer, though maybe he knew who was and was covering for them.

Agreed with the sentiment though.

My best ever landing, a real greaser, was with an examiner in the right seat (pure luck, obviously)

I’ve got a mate living in Florida. He’s convinced that another civil war is coming.

A good start, but still a tiny fraction of the aid needed.

What on earth is going on? I remember my parents struggling to pay for school uniform back in 1968. Back then the school outfitters were very expensive, but we only had to buy the school crest from them & were able to get everything else from the Coop. Have we gone backwards?

The UN Refugee Convention, to which the UK is a signatory, specifically allows people seeking asylum to use irregular methods, and without the need for carrying paperwork. Under our law asylum seekers are not illegal immigrants. Those in small boats are only illegal if they’re not seeking asylum.

Seemingly every day he finds new ways to make me despise him more

Tesla sales dropping massively because of Elmo, and the company rewards him with huge stock options, to get him to stay. Seriously; do they want the company to collapse? I can’t see Tesla improving its sales with Elmo in charge.

Honours system gets new role to make awards more inclusive A new

I don’t understand why anyone would want an award with the word ‘empire’ in it. I wouldn’t accept one (not that I’ll ever be offered one).

The whole system needs scrapping. There are 1000s not rewarded who deserve awards & many given them who don’t.

I’m sure I read that Elmo claims empathy is a weakness. As far as I’m concerned it’s our biggest strength.

Major failure. He should have been in prison years ago

I know someone who worked for Robert Jenrick. They weren’t complimentary about him

For anyone who requires a translation a jobbie is a 💩

You’re talking to the wrong people. Patient facing medics aren’t the ones who decide policy.

Throughout Covid, as a Community First Responder I had no access at all to FFP3 masks. It was surgical masks only, though I wasn’t sent if they suspected Covid (some slipped through)

I’ve done a small amount of formation training. It was great fun, but definitely hard work

I block for stupidity (supporting Trump will do), abuse and bad language. Bye

I’m not in the US; I’m in the UK. It was the WHO who declared that the emergency phase had ended.

So you’re saying that it’s badly affecting patients (that I’m not seeing anymore), but all the ambulance crews are asymptomatic, and it’s my fault the ambulance service has changed the PPE rules. Got it
