NHS FRAUD CAUGHT ON CAMERA, NOBODY CARED
Sharmila Chowdhury @sharmilaxx gave the @NHS 30 years of clean service. Not one blemish. Then she did something apparently unforgivable. She noticed two consultant radiologists at Ealing Hospital, now part of London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust @LNWH_NHS, were billing the NHS for shifts they were actually spending at a private hospital down the road.
Getting paid twice for the same hours. That is fraud everywhere except, it turns out, inside the NHS complaints system.
She reported it. To her line manager. To the Medical Director. To the HR Director. To Counter Fraud. To the Chief Executive. To Number 10. To the Treasury. She built a paper trail so thorough that ITV @itvnews later sent an undercover team into the hospital and filmed the same consultants years on, still taking cash from patients for private ultrasounds inside NHS premises.
The Trust's response to all that diligence was to sack her, based on counter allegations later shown to be fabricated.
The man behind those allegations reportedly signed off an email too crude to print here ..........
....... He picked up a Top Mentor award from the Trust that same year. You could not write comedy this good on purpose.
Sharmila took it to tribunal and won. She won her appeal too. The judge told the Trust to reinstate her. The Trust said no. She was then quietly blacklisted across the NHS. One job offer was withdrawn the moment they worked out who she was. Legal costs hit £130,000.
Somewhere in the middle of it she developed breast and lung cancer, which her doctors link to years of sustained stress.
The two consultants kept their jobs. George Osborne could not get involved. Andrew Lansley could not get involved. David Cameron could not get involved. Every one of them filed it under employment matter, which is Whitehall for we would rather not know.
A proven fraud case, covered by ITV @itvnews, the Guardian, Daily Mail @DailyMail, Channel 4 News @Channel4News, the Independent @Independent, BBC News @BBCNews, the Times @thetimes and the Daily Mirror @DailyMirror. The official position of Her Majesty's Government was still not our problem.
This is the reward system in action. Report fraud, lose your career, lose your health, and watch the people you reported get promoted.
Before the Crusades, two-thirds of the Christian world had already fallen under Islamic rule.
Your school probably skipped that part.
They taught you the Crusades began in 1095, as if Christians just woke up one morning and decided to march east for no reason.
But history did not begin in 1095.
By then, Islamic armies had already conquered massive portions of the Christian world:
Syria.
Egypt.
North Africa.
The Holy Land.
Spain.
In 711 AD, Islamic forces crossed into Spain.
By 732 AD, they had pushed all the way into France.
That is where Charles Martel met them at the Battle of Tours and stopped the advance into Western Europe.
Some historians consider it one of the most decisive battles in world history.
So when people talk about the Crusades without mentioning the 400 years before them, they are not giving you history.
They are giving you a narrative.
Were the Crusades complicated?
Of course.
Were Christians perfect?
No.
But the idea that the Crusades were some random act of Christian aggression is historically dishonest.
The real story begins long before 1095.
And once you know what happened before the Crusades, the entire conversation changes.
They buried this.
Now you know.

@PatrickChristys speaks with whistleblower on grooming gangs Maggie Oliver as GB News exclusively reveals a former Labour candidate is among three brothers convicted of sex offences in Sheffield.
An opinion piece for the @Daily_Express published yesterday….
There’s still so much we don’t know about this new statutory national enquiry, but both myself and many survivors are relieved that Bradford/Keighley and London and of course Oldham are to be looked at.
Time will tell just what this entails, as at the moment it’s too early to say. However my personal opinion is that much of the ‘grooming gang’ networks that have developed and become ‘refined’ over the past 3/4 decades have their origins originally in Bradford and Keighley.
Labour MP Anne Cryer was shut down and silenced when she was very vocal about this, bravely raising this in The Houses of Parliament in the late 90s/early 000s. This led to attacks and being accused of racism, but had her evidence been acted on then, we may never have been in this position today and the many many tens of thousands of children whose lives have been destroyed may never have had to endure the trauma of fighting to be heard.
London has remained under the radar for too long, and we @TMOFCharity The Maggie Oliver Foundation will be watching closely to see how this evolves over the coming months and ensuring the voices of those we support remain ‘in the mix’ and at the forefront of these conversations.
@GyllKing@AngelaEuropean So on her not insignificant tax payer funded MP salary and her own profitable business, she’s not only depriving those who can’t afford to buy new but she also asking for people to bypass the charity shops and send their stuff directly to her. Not charitable at all in my opinion.
“We're raising children who can't play.”
That is the warning at the heart of Sophie Winkleman's powerful speech on smartphones, screens and the future of education.
As countries around the world bring books and handwriting back into classrooms, she asks a simple question:
“If all the research says one thing, why are schools doing another?”
