Did you know that Amazon sells suicide manuals?? I didn't - and I was shocked when a patient pointed this out. Anyone, including a child, could easily access this. No need for 'dark web' - it's there in plain sight. Surely this is not ok?

I am very pleased to have been invited to collaborate with @Andrex_UK and @bowelcanceruk Cancer UK on their important campaign, Look Back and Track. They are trying to encourage people to 'track' their poo in order to encourage early detection of any issues
My client's goal was to take her son out for coffee- after being unable to leave the house for 5 years. After months of work, today I received this. I couldn't be prouder.
Today, we have released shocking new polling of British Jews which reveals a number of alarming insights.
antisemitism.org/new-polling…
• Only one-third (34%) of British Jews believe that Jews have a long-term future in the UK, and half of the Jewish community has considered leaving Britain in the past two years due to antisemitism. Among 18-24-year-olds, it is two-thirds (67%). The main reason is the surge in antisemitism since 7th October 2023, cited by 76% of respondents.
• Three-quarters of British Jews are dissatisfied with how their local police force has been policing anti-Israel marches in their local cities. Only one-tenth are satisfied. Only 5% of British Jews have confidence in Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley who has presided over the highest rates of antisemitism in memory.
• The vast majority – 85% – of British Jews are dissatisfied with London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s performance in relation to the Jewish community since 7th October 2023. Fewer than one in ten (9%) are satisfied.
• Nearly three-quarters – 72% – of British Jews think that the Green Party is too tolerant of antisemitism among their MPs, councillors, members and supporters. This is closely followed by the Labour Party with 71%. This is the highest figure ever recorded for the Greens, and it is the first time that another party has overtaken Labour in our polling. For their first time, a third party has also crossed the majority threshold: the SNP, at 52%.
• Among broadcasters, the BBC scored the worst in terms of its coverage of matters of Jewish interest, with 92% of British Jews rating its coverage as unfavourable.
• Only 3% of British Jews are confident that if a Jewish student reported an antisemitic incident on campus, the university's administration would take appropriate action. Among young Jews it is 6%.
• 95% of British Jews consider the chant ‘from the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free’ to be an antisemitic call to destroy the Jewish state. Only 2% do not.
