If true this is utterly disgusting and appalling. But far from surprising. Other major London "centres of learning" - aka nests of bile, spite and gall - are no better behaved. Woke cancer and mind virus rampage unchecked in the U.K. @antisemitism @UCLPartners @ucl
“University College London (UCL) is axing the post of antisemitism officer… (Instead) Jewish student concerns about antisemitism may now involve…“equality, inclusion and care” department, where the director is a trustee of a charity with alleged links to Hamas.”

No more money! Emigrate to Canada or Australia if you don't like it.
4500 training places for Drs over the next 3 years 15000 training places for ACPs over the next 3 years No extra pay for 2026/7 Is this pretty much the same deal that was rejected by the BMA in March with a few tweaks ?

Is this Nicola Sturgeon and Peter Murrell in their get away (with it) vehicle (not a mobile home)?

Healey was a rare politician. Honest. Sensible. Decent. Desperately concerned about defence. He's resigned over Keir Stamer's shabby duplicity. @Keir_Starmer is a disgrace to his/my country and to his party. In the name of God, be gone! @UKLabour @Conservatives @LibDems

Iona - Irish Monks came here in 8th century to Christianise / convert the heathen Godless Britons. Iona Abbey was a centre of Gaelic monasticism for three centuries, and is today known for its relative tranquility and natural environment.

The average reading age in the UK is nine years old. Not inspiring! And these people are allowed to vote? How? Why? I suspect the average reading age of our political representatives is at least one year lower!

The Trump School of Beautiful Medicine! Peak bullshit. "Vitamin D supplements have also been proven to alleviate the anemia status in patients diagnosed with CKD [5-9] probably through multiple effects." Sounds like "no more wars" Donald to me.
The reticulocytes are blooming.

They in fact usually start off as, and remain, rare!
the NHS has succeeded in making Never Events rare. It’s not succeeded in making them rarer. myemail.constantcontact.com/…

Of all the lunatics in charge of this Labour Party Asylum, Peter Kyle is a prince of posturing pretence. He has competition!
The idea that a government populated by ministers who, combined, have close to zero proper business experience, dribbling out small dollops of cash to companies they favour will play any role in finding ‘the UK’s first trillion-dollar firm’ really is one for the ages. If it ever happens it will be despite the government, not because of it. They really have no clue.

I want to find the UK’s first trillion-dollar firm. That’s why this morning I've unveiled our bespoke concierge service to support businesses of the future to start, scale, and stay in the UK. When I say I’m aggressively ambitious in pursuit of economic growth, I mean it.

Well, money (mostly) and reputations / consultancy fees (always) are at stake! I always found the Mediterranian littoral peeps were the keenest on the fees. Evidence was handy, but not essential for them!

There is a new meta-analysis in Hemodialysis International about the effects of vitamin D supplementation on anemia parameters in dialysis patients. Two classic topics in one!! I would post it, but we will only laugh at it.

LOL. “course entitled “Is That Racist?:…” which promises to teach students “a broad range of ways social theorists have defined the term and methods they have used to demonstrate” racism.” Yale fall catalog loaded with racism-focused courses campusreform.org/article/yal…

The @nhs @dhsc @gmc_uk either bullies, or humiliates, or denigrates, anyone who 'steps out of line' aka asks inconvenient questions, or calls out corruption or malpractice! Sometimes, all three at once. Disgraceful! @darrenpjones @Keir_Starmer
NHS SPENT £680,000 TO SILENCE A DOCTOR WHO WAS TRYING TO SAVE YOUR LIFE Dr Jasna Macanovic was a kidney specialist with 20 years of excellent NHS service at Portsmouth Hospitals (@PHU_NHS). She watched patients suffer complications from a dialysis needle technique her colleagues had introduced. Bleeding. Clotting. Deaths. She raised it internally. Nothing moved. So she went to the @CareQualityComm. Then the GMC. That is literally what doctors are legally and professionally required to do. Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust responded by sacking her for serious misconduct. The misconduct, in case you missed it, was reporting unsafe care to the regulator. They called her aggressive. Intimidating. Unmanageable. The Employment Tribunal called it a predetermined unfair dismissal. Zero contributory fault on her part. She won at every single stage over five years. The Trust legal bill to fight her: £680,000. Your money. NHS money. The compensation she was awarded: £219,000. The people who ran the disciplinary campaign against her, which the tribunal literally described as a counter-offensive, were later promoted. CEO Penny Emerit was later handed an even bigger role running two NHS trusts simultaneously. The medical director who originally launched the disciplinary action against Dr Macanovic, Simon Holmes, moved to a board role at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The CQC investigated him and found no breach. The same CQC that had texted Dr Macanovic in 2016 to personally promise she was protected and could not lose her job. She lost her job. Nobody struck off. Nobody sacked. The Freedom to Speak Up policy sitting somewhere in a shared drive, largely decorative. Sources: ET Case 1400232/2018 / @Telegraph / @alexander_minh

Gordon! Feel no guilt! The people in charge are either (a) complicit or (b) catastrophically careless! Maybe both.

@DrLKVaughan NHS Scotland now spending £500 million on agency staff. I left 4y early because of how clinical staff are treated. The only policy seemed to be to get rid of excellent staff with years of expertise.

The Normandy or D-Day landings are a pivotal moment in modern history. As was the short-lived cooperation between Britain (and Empire), the US and, remarkably, the CCCP (USSR). Intense, immense bravery won the day. And, better equipment, better strategy, and maybe God too?
