@andyhersh @Edwina_Currie Yes but he wasn’t very good at it - I believe he was running the CPS when we had paedophiles in plain sight!

Shockingly awful.

Dying from DKA/ a Type 1 diabetes missed diagnosis is totally preventable!

@juneslater17 How can we sit back and allow this to happen to our country?????

[June Slater @juneslater17]

I feel insulted , I've quietly lived a life of freedom . I've contributed to society in my small way. I'm not a law breaker, or a benefit cheats or a tax dodger, like many, I get up in a morning and get on with it .
I love nature and animals particularly dogs, I run a good comfortable home, it's clean and Inviting and I pay my bills.

I have food in my fridge and my home is warm, I worked to afford this.
I've travelled well and run a fair business where staff were not just paid but listened to .

I now have to realise that our substandard politicians have been so focused on globalisation that they are willingly sacrificing what I and many have built up.

They have created a system allowing the dregs of other people's societies to roll up and join in.

They cover it up with virtue signalling lies and propaganda.

I now am forced to live in a society that wants ultimate surveillance, facial recognition and want to know why I want my own money out of my own bank, this is for ordinary people not criminals.

Britain has become a free for all and if you complain you're called callous names.

Well I'm complaining .

I'm sick of healthcare , education and infrastructure going down the pan because we have no money, despite the fact my contributions and YOURS have increased ten fold .

I have a right to be fed up because we all know it could have been so much better!

@WestEchelon Why are waiting so long to deal with these excuses for human beings - they need castrating without anaesthesia.

Four Leeds Men Jailed for Child Sexual Abuse
June 5, 2015
Leeds, England

Facts:
Four men from Leeds—Nasir Sultan (24, Beeston Road), Tariq Islam (31, Cross Quarry Street), Amir Zaman (25, Sefton Terrace), and Zafar Iqbal (41, Latchmere Drive)—were jailed for sexually abusing a girl aged 12 to 14 over more than two years.

Following a trial at Leeds Crown Court, Sultan was convicted of three counts of rape and sentenced to 12 years; Islam was found guilty of two counts of child rape and sentenced to 13 years.

Iqbal was convicted of two counts of sexual activity with a child and one count of attempted rape, receiving a 15-year sentence.

Zaman was jailed for 11 years for four counts of sexual activity with a child.

All four men were placed on the sex offenders register for life.

The victim was targeted due to her youth and vulnerability, groomed with cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs to ensure compliance, according to Andrew Penhale of the Crown Prosecution Service.

Mark Griffin praised the victim’s courage in giving evidence, noting the life-changing impact of the abuse and hoping the convictions provide her some comfort.

Seven other men involved in the case are still awaiting sentencing.

There is no such thing as an ‘unregistered nurse’!

[kc isc @kcisc]

This is a crime - 'medical practitioner'.
She is an unregistered nurse.

[Debbie Hicks @DebbieHicksNCD]

@alisonleary1 @ravdos @TrendDiabetes @beckylt09 @HellenaHH2020 @eileendoyle2 @willcockslaura @PaulaJDSN @DiabetesUK @DiabetesUKCymru @DiabetesUKProf The framework was updated last year and we took advice from RCN (CC) regarding levels sadly while there is inconsistency within NMC and others it’s difficult to change

@sotonDSN @parthaskar @DiabetesUK @DSNforumUK @WeNurses @geraldinegallen @TrendDiabetes @nicmiln @DiabeticDadUK @DigiBeteUK @diabetes_chat @theRCN @nmcnews @teamCNO_ @Cmosrgn Sadly for the last few years Trend Diabetes have lobbied NMC for recognition of CNS but they want all nurses to be generic so they can be shifted around to cover winter pressures but it is CNS who keep people out of hospital or get people home quicker - simple eh?

[Debbie Hicks @DebbieHicksNCD]

ITV have had some great dramas lately but they’ve ruined them by stopping every 10 mins with an advert. I know that the adverts are needed to pay for the making of the but really ITV it ruins the programme😩😩😩
