37 years ago the Chinese army killed large numbers of people in Beijing and elsewhere when it cracked down on student protests. I was there and saw it happen myself. Nowadays China tries to claim the Tiananmen massacre was invented by the international media. That’s a total lie.
Over the last 36 hours, we have witnessed the very soul of Nigel Farage — his essence.
It has been over a month since he went into hiding, since serious questions began to be raised over his undeclared £5M donation.
A month since he appeared in front of TV cameras or underwent any questioning at all.
At 8am yesterday morning, Farage released a video, from a field somewhere, calling for rage. Calling for an end to the mythical two-tier policing.
Make no mistake, those were very carefully chosen words — he understood what he was unleashing, and his wish was granted last night in Southampton.
On Tuesday, the Home Secretary made a statement to the House regarding the murder of Henry Nowack. There was, as always, an opportunity to question Shabana Mahmood — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
No, of course not.
Today, Farage was granted a question at PMQs — the showpiece spectacle of the political week in which the country's news and politics fanatics tune in to watch — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
Yes, of course he was.
He had somehow found his way into work after missing 77 separate votes in Parliament because … he would, at least for three minutes, be the centre of the country's political attention.
His question was about the murder of Henry Nowack and the violence that erupted [on his command] last night, but he would not condemn it or call for calm.
Instead, he 'suggested' that this rioting might escalate.
This afternoon, he has performatively written to the BBC because someone on Newsnight dared to accuse him of inciting the violence — playing his perpetual victim card. Again.
And there we see the soul of Nigel Farage — a craven, desperate for attention, evil, petty and pointless man.
END RANT.
In fact I agree. Going over same stuff again+again is wearing /introduces inaccuracies.
But best way to improve this is CONTINUITY OF CARE with same dr who knows you.
This is in CONTRAST to current health policy. If you want less needless repetition- systematise continuity .
A message to all sane Republicans:

He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.
It’s time to start talking.
Lord Dobbs saying what do experts know. C'mon. Do you really think that experts, who trained for years to try and do good, have not recommended prostate screening out of fun? It's not an unknown committee, the membership and minutes are on the website. /
Last night at the theatre the family a few seats away recognised and greeted me as their old GP. In fact after 20 yrs I left that practice 30yrs ago but we had personal lists and got to know patients as people. I fear that both GPs and patients are missing that relationship.
Epic moment 🔥
🇺🇸Trump at 5:00 PM — “No President has done this. We got Iran to talk nukes. Maybe even give them up. This is First time ever.”
🇺🇸Obama at 6:00 PM — “Did it already. No missiles fired. Moved 97% of their enriched uranium out. We didn't have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz like you.”🔥👏
@ShakeLS@Rimmesfk There is no law but in the current heat wave the air outside is often hotter than inside the house so it makes sense to keep windows closed until evening when the outside air is cooler.
@ShakeLS Oh dear there are some houses where they've even bricked up their windows because they were getting taxed on them (but that was abolished before the USA existed.) I'm typing this with my window open wide
