This is Herbert. Today he was officially named the longest wiener dog in the world. He’s nearly 3 feet in length, a full foot longer than your average dachshund. 14/10 very impressive Herbert
I think one of the hardest things to accept when loosing your grandparents is the fact they won’t be there to see you through all of your milestones, truly makes your heart hurt
I’ve been a doctor in the NHS for over 10 years.
I’ve never doubted for a second that if I/ a loved one was sick we’d be taken care of in the best way possible.
But now, for the first time, I don’t see that & it’s terrifying.
Our NHS has collapsed, by political CHOICE.
Imagine that you couldn’t attend the funeral of someone you loved and then you see the Deputy Prime Minister defending Downing Street drinks because *they’d* had a gruelling day?!
To those of you who don’t have to imagine I am truly sorry. The PM is a disgrace.
People died ALONE.
They grieved ALONE.
They never got to say goodbye.
They cried on zoom, watching loved ones gasping.
And the people who should have been setting an example - showing moral leadership to a country in trauma - were sticking two fingers up to us all.
The absolutely brass neck of these entitled, arrogant, brazen hypocrites who broke the rules they wrote, boozed it up in lockdown, & then - THEN - tried to say: “Oh it wasn’t a party, we were getting hammered at work while running the country.”
While our patients kept on dying.
In light of the recent news articles on Downing Streets Christmas parties last year, I’m just going to leave this here. Every day people are told to follow rules set out by the same idiots that haven’t given a shit the whole way through the pandemic… speaks volumes
You absolutely don’t work in the care industry if you think it’s ‘just a job’ - I sit with patients whilst they die, daily. I work late so my patients don’t have to die alone, daily. I pray after the pandemic that health workers are given the respect they deserve
