If you block the pavement, why should I be forced into the road? “Just cross” isn’t an answer — not everyone can, and not every kerb is accessible.
And if parking fully on the road blocks emergency vehicles… then guess what? You can’t park there.
Pavements are for people.
@warpnwoof@ThePosieParker High risk, particularly in medical terms, is a very low percentage probability. High chance means a very high likelihood of something happening 50% or more. Most native speakers are aware of this distinction.
@independanista@ThePosieParker I’d have thought the same until my recent experience of maternity care. It’s been abysmal due to arrogant attitudes, lack of bedside manner, lack of respect for me as a patient - nothing to do with funding or Covid or long hours.
@jan_murray Yes. I’ve had ‘just ring your midwife’. I’ve hardly seen her and have no way of contacting her specifically, it’s all through a centralised hub where I have to leave a voicemail. Messages are often not returned. Emergency line once answered by a (very apologetic) cleaner.
@woriadsmasking@bbuk Agree. I wish men’s right to male spaces and dignity was a bigger part of the conversation. It’s not the same from a safety point of view but dignity matters for both sexes. Most elderly men I know would be extremely upset to realise this is happening.
Can we please stop saying there are two genders?
There are two sexes.
“Gender” is just sexist stereotypes.
Replacing the word sex with gender is what got us in to this mess.
@jan_murray Navigating maternity care with a ‘high risk’ pregnancy and it’s similarly abysmal. As you say, there’s no accountability. No communication. Left feeling vulnerable and unsafe. No sense of collaboration in my care, coercive, scaremongering. Awful.
@DISCOD00D@peterrhague It is happening. Most of us who visit local parks around the country have seen evidence of birds having been butchered and sometimes cooked at the site. RSPCA don’t know anything about it because they can’t waste resources after the act or trying to find a long gone culprit.
@narindertweets@andreajenkyns@SkyNews The worst thing the centre and left can do is ridicule this. Real people in the real world know it’s happening, if Farage is the only one willing to listen then people will push further towards him. Condemn the behaviour and commit to tackling wildlife crime.
@LBC Why is it so hard to accept that migrants are coming from places where violence against women and girls is normal and they are bringing that attitude with them?
@nickthfchall@DawnButlerBrent@UKLabour The worst thing they could do is ridicule Farage for this, it will push more towards him. We’ve all seen the videos and in many cases, the evidence with our own eyes. They need to condemn the behaviour and commit to toughening up on wildlife crime, not laugh and dismiss it.
@LBC@IainDale If the left really want to tackle Farage on the ‘eating swans’ stories, saying it’s nonsense isn’t the way. We’ve all seen it the videos and many of us have seen the evidence of butchered and cooked birds in parks with our own eyes. Try condemning the behaviour first.
Remember that grandmother that was raped to death on a stroke ward? It gets worse. They’re investigating 8 other deaths, and they’ve fired people for everything from abusing dementia patients to stealing medication to resell. Not a single British person in the article.
@LBC Many of these men are coming from cultures where sexual violence is the norm and often they have ‘pornified’ perceptions of western women. Western men are more likely to know us and attack us but ‘stranger attacks’ are far more likely from the regressive cultures.
The method of animal slaughter should be determined exclusively by the most humane practices, aligned with the highest animal welfare standards, rather than being influenced by religious or personal ideologies.
