โโฆa desire for danger and excitement led me repeatedly into unsuitable loves and scrapes. It was the best of times, and the worst of times. I look back at that now, and the very thought of it makes me exhausted. Frankly Iโm astonished Iโm even alive.โ

Another day, another way that older generations are getting a bashing. Pensioners, we are being told, should consider selling their homes and downsizing in order to free up space for families. https://t.co/qsrWpaSrtW

The GP appointment system in many (most?) surgeries is beyond a joke. Mine now insists on an e-consult form being completed online before they will even triage you, which they then do remotely. Absolute shower. And what about seniors and others who canโt get along with digital?
I was refused a same-day GP appointment this week to have my wound checked - just days after breast cancer surgery.
I was worried it might be infected.
The practice told me to go to Urgent Care. I was warned of a two-hour wait, but the staff there immediately recognised that a waiting room full of coughing and spluttering wasnโt ideal post-surgery - and saw me quickly.
Their kindness made me cry. They understood what I was going through, and even recognised that seeing my breast for the first time after surgery, when they removed the dressing, might be upsetting.
By contrast, my GP surgery โcouldnโt override the systemโ to give me a same-day appointment.
For a suspected infection.
In a post-operative wound.
When Iโm feeling up to it, Iโm
going to have a proper look at the legislation around this. Because Iโm fairly sure my GP practice - and many others - are not operating lawfully.
And theyโre getting away with it. Time and time again.
When @Glinner landed at Heathrow, he was met by five armed police officers, and immediately arrested.
His โcrimeโ? Three gender-critical tweets.
As Graham says in his Substack:
โIn a country where paedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak, the state had mobilised five armed officers to arrest a comedy writerโ.
Grahamโs single bail condition is that he does not go on X.
We do not believe Grahamโs arrest or the bail conditions imposed were lawful. We will be backing him all the way in his fight against these preposterous allegations and the disproportionate response from the police.
Imagine snatching a gift off a child and making him cry. Then doubling down and defending that behaviour. What kind of shitty human does that? #PiotrSzczerek
A woman on TikTok made a video on how she used a rotisserie chicken over several meals to show how eating healthy doesnโt have to be expensive and someone commented to say not everyone has a fridge or bowl and fork.
Listening to #jaggedlittlepill and forgot how brilliant the album is. In 1996 I went with a mate on a LONG road trip to Scotland and the only cassette we had in the van was this album. Itโs still fucking excellent
