So if you suggest black people should be "melted down and used to fill potholes" you get elected a Reform councillor, but if you say "please stop killing Palestinians" you get called antisemitic and the government calls a cobra meeting. 🫠
Never stop saying "dozen" and "half dozen". Never stop using the word you read in an old novella. Never stop using your regional jargon. Don't succumb to an internationalized English stripped of its whimsy and romanticism in the name of streamlining global commerce.
It is now officially recognised by the highest court in the world that Israel is guilty of heinous genocide. Now isolate them. Sanction them. Boycott them. Prosecute them. And most importantly of all militarily defeat them. Israel is a monster. A genocidal monster. Defeat them 😡
NHS OFFERED A DOCTOR £120,000 TO SHUT UP. SHE SAID NO. A CHILD DIED.
Dr Kim Holt (@drkimholt) was a paediatrician at St Ann's Hospital in Haringey. In 2007 she and three colleagues wrote a formal letter to Great Ormond Street Hospital management warning that staff shortages and poor record-keeping at the children's clinic were going to get someone killed. They were not vague about it. They said a child would die.
Management's response was to force her out of the job on what she described as wholly spurious grounds. Then they offered her £80,000 to go quietly, sign a gagging order, and never speak about Haringey again.
She refused.
By the time Baby Peter came through the clinic, not one of the four permanent senior consultants was in place. In their absence, an inexperienced locum saw the 17-month-old boy and sent him home. He had a broken back. He died 48 hours later.
After the death made national headlines, Great Ormond Street raised the offer to £120,000. Dr Holt refused again.
She spent four years on special leave. Her post was quietly advertised while she was still technically employed. The BMA had to intervene.
She eventually founded Patients First to support NHS whistleblowers, because the system that failed Baby Peter was still very much in place, just wearing a nicer tie.
An independent NHS London report later found Dr Holt to have a spotless record and recommended reinstatement, and also found serious management failings at GOSH. The hospital took months to act on it. Nobody in management was disciplined.
After four years, GOSH issued a public apology and reinstated her. Lovely. Very touching. The child was still dead.
This is what institutional self-protection looks like. Not mustache-twirling villains. Just managers processing paperwork, protecting budgets, and hoping the doctor with the inconvenient concerns would take the money and disappear.
She didn't. Remember her name.

I turned down 2 government jobs because my dad told me to do some specific research and when I did, I learned that in 60 months 72 federally employed (NASA) scientists died of unnatural causes. Ex: house fires, car accident, heart attack at 30, freak accidents, drowning, falling, plant crashes etc..
My dad saved my life fr!!!
Only two states in History declared death penalty for one particular race —
1) Nazi Germany against Jews
2) Israel against Palestinians
“YOU BECOME WHAT YOU HATE”
It’s bc you’re ableist, shouldn’t be working in medicine or healthcare, and are a threat to patients.
Disabled ppl have a right to have kids even if that child shares their disability.
Your logic is why the govt sterilized thousands of disabled ppl and Black women w/o consent.
I'm confused. Shamima Begum is not allowed back into the UK because she was groomed into becoming an ISIS bride when she was just a child, but Al Golani, the man who was a literal leader of ISIS and Al Qaida is allowed to visit Downing Street? How does that work?
Absolute bombshell. A prominent Jewish Rabbi destroys the Western media narrative. He confirms that tens of thousands of Jews live completely free and protected in Iran right now. The Iranian government even funds Jewish hospitals while Washington pushes for war.
Colonialism will never die don’t let anyone fool you. Imagine China trying to claim the English Channel… Unfathomable to westerners but when they do it it’s a normal Wednesday
