I am currently reading 'TheDwarves' by Markus Heitz (German), translated by Sally-Ann Spencer (British) and published by @orbitbooks a British publishing company. Can somebody please explain why it uses US English spellings?

@pedalmeapp Thank you.

@pedalmeapp My mistake, it appears that posts are visible to anyone so you should be able to follow the arguments here. It's all the usual 'Can't do that with a bike etc.' so you might not want to bother.

@RozzotStore It does though, then it takes him several hours to digest it.

Wes Streeting thinks privatisation is the solution to the NHS.

Like if you know it isn't.
RT if we need a fully nationalised, fully funded, staff properly paid NHS

When Junior Doctors are on £16 an hour and MP's are on £46 an hour.

And raising the Junior Doctors pay by £4 an hour is unaffordable, even though they just raised MP's pay by £5 an hour.

It's hard not to see the lie.

RT if Junior Doctors NEED paying.

I had a pleasant message from my grandson saying he had read a copy of a book I wrote for my granddaughter and he had enjoyed it. He then went on to add a request - would I write another book with him as the lead character. What have I got myself into?

If you disagree with the Daily Express that “a majority of Brits” now support leaving the European Convention on Human Rights RT this as widely as you can

It feels like (X) Twitter has been blocking people from following us

We've been stuck at 132,000 followers for ages

Maybe the fight to save the NHS isn't important for Elon Musk but it is for us

If you see this please RT and give us a follow

I am currently reading a book by British author @cstross . The story is set in Britain. Why then did somebody think it was a Good Idea to run the text through a US spell checker before publication?

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

We totally agree with this.

Please RT if you do too.

The beautiful and not so beautiful sides of @RHSWisley. The Department for Making Roads Bigger has been cutting down trees and generally messing up the area all in the name of 'Improving Your Journey'. I don't see how ripping up the place I am visiting is improving my journey.

@BibiLynch Nice sash you have there.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

There has been a surge in patients paying for GP appointments, with one private healthcare provider seeing a 46% increase in demand

This is exactly what the Conservatives want

But healthcare should be about people, not profit - RT if you agree

We've just been round the roundabout at Junction 10 of the M25. I am unsure as to what the Highways planners actually hope to achieve, but the b'stards have totally devastated the area in the name of 'Progress'. All those lovely trees, gone!
