@CorneliusRoemer @sailorrooscout I’d suggest people read ALL tweets from EVERYONE with a grain of salt!

Everyone has their personal style and outlook on life.

There are some who look for the downside, and other more optimistic

Any sensible person reads widely and draw their own conclusions

@councillorian You should vote on any matter based on merit of the case, not political expediency

Voting against something just to score a minor victory is futile at best, and irresponsible at worst

[Prof Raj Thakkar @DrRajThakkar]

65k cardiovascular deaths/year are due to high blood pressure eg heart attack,heart failure,kidney disease,stroke. Checking blood pressure must be everyone’s business. If we all knew our BP, & ensured it is well controlled, we can significantly reduce our own risk @Shahed__Ahmad

Fabulous research done by our team! @TheMarkFdn @caromitreka @mireiacrispin @RamonaWoitek @CRUKCamCentre @EsurOffice @radiology_UOC

@ScottBentonMP @BarristerSecret Surely you can put together a better argument than that in favour of a policy you really believe in!

Saying the metro elite don't like something isn't really sufficient

@councillorian @barnardos @UKLabour Maybe bringing CP under central govt responsibility so they can’t pass the buck might help

[Jules @Chains1945]

@councillorian @barnardos @UKLabour We’re childrens’ social services targeted for better funding by them last time?

I don’t think ANY govt has provided a proper plan in my lifetime

[CatchUpWithCancer @RTherapy4Life]

"The cancer legacy of the pandemic could be worse than COVID" @Telegraph today comments from @prof_price and #CatchUpWithCancer. We call for urgent action, warning it feels like Governement and NHS leaders have "their heads in the sand".

[Jules @Chains1945]

@councillorian @barnardos So the attempt to save money didn’t work and more kids got damaged

[Jules @Chains1945]

@councillorian @barnardos On those figures, we are spending the same, but using it badly

[Jules @Chains1945]

@barekicks @EinsteinsAttic Pretty sure this isn’t just trial patients but it VAERS which is a free form reporting system with significant weakness that can be exploited by people with an agenda.
One claim was that a drug had turned him into the Incredible Hulk

[Jules @Chains1945]

@EinsteinsAttic This is as stupid as saying that 100% of people who die have ingested water in the previous 28 days!

@CardiacAudit

[CardioTomLuscher @TomLuscher]

Cardiology Update London: The show will go on. Covid does not stop us - it start on Sunday December 12th. 3-5pm UK. Don't miss John Deanfield and get your heart age and get the newest on prevention by Peter Libby, François Mach and Naveed Sattar - it worth it!

[Jules @Chains1945]

@Depheruk @burnley @GoFundMeUK Bloody hell. They say no good deed goes unpunished but that’s a flaming liberty!
I’d say name them but that would probably make things worse

Just know that you are worth more than they ever could

Lots of people are grateful that you came off the bridge on the dr,y side!

[Jules @Chains1945]

@Depheruk @burnley @GoFundMeUK Jealousy or well-intentioned but wrong?

[Jules @Chains1945]

@tblacker7 It is as useful as finding one GP who has completely gamed the system to earn hundreds of thousands and claiming all GP’s are over paid

[Jules @Chains1945]

@judeGibbons @tblacker7 I’ve seen 1 or 2 bar staff double their income with tips, but never on this scale (I was senior finance at one UK’s largest hotel chains)

Housekeeping were not in the tips pool

[Jules @Chains1945]

@PoliticsForAlI @thetimes Cut NI instead!

[Jules @Chains1945]

@RocMobile @timmsy_ks @BernieSanders Also zero is not the cost that NHS pays (using my taxes)

[Jules @Chains1945]

@RocMobile @timmsy_ks @BernieSanders Because we pay income tax @ 40% (for mid to high incomes) plus another 15% in combined NI

That said this year I have had Cancer, covid and now pulmonary embolism, and whilst I have worried about many things, paying for treatment isn't one of them
