It seems to me that our governments are enthusiastically doing the bidding of an international network of psychopathic megalomaniacs.

If you have a better explanation for the state of the world today, please let me know.

The VAT threshold is a measly £90k of annual turnover. As soon as you breach that, you must register for VAT. As soon as you do, your produce becomes 20% more expensive. This is killing small businesses, even the flat rate scheme is a killer for many. Serious change is needed.

@mwt2008 @JeremyClarkson Prove it.

@aDissentient Ed Miliband is certifiable, isn't he?

['Sir' David Kirkwood MSc MIET MSP @dakppc]

@martinmccluskey You are sadly deluded.

Dieter Helm seems to have concluded that repeal of the Climate Change Act and closure of the Climate Change Committee should form the basis of future UK energy policy.

Glad he has caught up.

@DonnaHarri3435 @drdavidbull The PSA was suggested to me by a practice nurse before they even knew my family history.

With the demise of the IPCC's extreme RCP8.5 climate scenario, any remaining reason to pursue Net Zero has vanished – and even Tony Blair has started to notice, says meteorologist Andrew Sibley in the Climate Skeptic. https://t.co/6X6qHlDcgB

[Toby Young @toadmeister]

Why is society throwing away cheap and reliable energy sources in favour of windmills and solar panels? Because, says Andrew Montford, climate science and climate politics have become corrupt and unleashed a cult. https://t.co/fInjlCqFW7

@A1an_M Yep, Saltcoats can do that for you.

@ash_twtz You missed Mandrake, 1998.

['Sir' David Kirkwood MSc MIET MSP @dakppc]

@drdavidbull @DonnaHarri3435 I managed it with a PSA of just 5.6, a death in the family and a close relative with an active cancer.

Family history trumps PSA.

A neighbour had a PSA of 138 when finally diagnosed.

@LHolt99 @WingsScotland Go on, @WingsScotland , speak to Linda.

[Linda Holt @LHolt99]

Absolutely essential reading by the only journalist who rumbled the corruption in the SNP's finances. Why isn't he all over the media? @WingsScotland

I'm very pleased to hear this - Uganda is a special place to me and its people deserve impartial government services.

[عقيًل بن محمد العقيًل( أبو أنس) @akiluno_a]

في حادثة لافتة حدثت في أوغندا، قررت وزيرة الصحة "سارة" أن تقوم بخطوة جريئة لكشف الفساد داخل أحد المستشفيات الحكومية. فقامت بالتنكر في زي امرأة منقبة حتى لا يتعرف عليها أحد، وتوجهت إلى أحد المستشفيات العامة بهدف إجراء فحص بسيط لمستوى السكر في الدم.

عند وصولها إلى قسم الاستقبال، طلب منها الموظفون دفع رشوة مالية مقابل إجراء الفحص، على الرغم من أن هذه الخدمات الصحية يجب أن تُقدَّم مجانًا للمواطنين، بحسب القوانين المعمول بها في المستشفيات الحكومية. وحينما رفضت الوزيرة، مؤكدّة أن العلاج في هذه المرافق من المفترض أن يكون بلا مقابل، رفض الموظفون تقديم أي خدمة لها، وتعاملوا معها بجفاء واستهتار.

في تلك اللحظة، كشفت الوزيرة عن هويتها الحقيقية، لتُفاجئ الجميع بأنها ليست مجرد مريضة، بل وزيرة الصحة نفسها. وعلى الفور، أصدرت أوامرها باعتقال جميع المتورطين في الواقعة، من موظفين وأطباء، لبدء تحقيق رسمي في قضايا الفساد والإهمال داخل القطاع الصحي.

تعد هذه الحادثة مثالًا صارخًا على الفساد الإداري، ولكنها في الوقت نفسه تُظهر حرص بعض المسؤولين النزيهين على التحقق بأنفسهم من واقع الخدمات التي تُقدم للمواطنين.

"The College of Policing, in particular, has become the principal conduit through which DEI ideology, race-hierarchised thinking and tick-box “situational judgment” are injected into policing culture."

And must be closed, or radically reformed at the very least.

We’ll talk common sense and call out nonsense.

@A1an_M I've just watched the exact same programme! Also in a hotel tonight.

I was going to turn in, but Tipping Point is on now...
