Doh! It doesn’t take much research to find out that it is entirely possible that some inviduals of African ancestry might have fought at the Battle of Hastings.

An Anglo-Saxon soldier in the BBC's new TV show about the Battle of Hastings 🤣

Died from dehydration?

[David Oliver @mancunianmedic]

another heavy-handed, ridiculous decision by @nmcnews
Who at the same time have failed to take action against registered nurses in senior management roles who have bullied and silenced staff or colluded in terrible policy decisions

Can’t extrapolate to this from their (gender concealed) repeated unnecessary blood tests on each presentation to A&E but rational use is Ix is something that A&E staff might reasonably consider auditing.

[harish @harishgmistry]

@davidlubel @drsldurai Awful! Was he given unnecessary iv fluids too and juniors not supervised!

[David Lubel @davidlubel]

Of course the full context (which I have in this case) is crucial. I worry that this is a marker of greater inefficiency in the system.

[Sai L. Duraisingham @drsldurai]

@davidlubel Agree. The same could be said of many tests without looking at whether they have been done recently or where management wouldn't change..

[David Lubel @davidlubel]

@drsldurai 16 negative HIV tests in 4.5 months in a frail & elderly low risk regular A&E attender is hard to justify when the NHS is so cash-strapped

[David Lubel @davidlubel]

An elderly frequent A&E attender with anxiety and severe COPD has had had sixteen negative HIV tests so far this year - all sent by A&E, no special risk factors & presumably just part of a ‘confusion screen’. Is this a world record?

[David Lubel @davidlubel]

It’s possible that the wrong person was arrested

[Stephen Harris @wibblyteapot]

@PaulKirkby3 there is video evidence that clearly shows a female with eye-protection googles on, whilst hammering away at the glass. That shows it was pre-meditated as well

[David Lubel @davidlubel]

However the jury who were presented all the evidence (unlike commentators) did not feel it crossed the high threshold required for a guilty verdict.

[David Lubel @davidlubel]

@JonathanTod_TFP Really need full details in order to make rational assessment

[David Lubel @davidlubel]

@PlanningShit Does this meets with your approval?

[Shit Planning @PlanningShit]

It’s a topsy turvy world out there!

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

A heart-breaking moment saved in an SS picture of deportations of Hungarian Jews at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. It was taken 79 years ago, most likely in late May 1944.

A little child found a dandelion in the grass and is handing it or showing it to an older boy. All the people in this picture were waiting to be killed in gas chamber. They were murdered some time later.

Please RT this unique document.

[David Lubel @davidlubel]

Irritating, but a specialist trying to do their best for their patient is exactly what the patient is paying for and probably what we’d all wish for a loved one who may have been struggling to navigate a sometimes dysfunctional NHS

[David Lubel @davidlubel]

Sure - in the longer term; but I’m worried about the short term effect of a total ban - sewage in the streets. Would this be acceptable?

[Ben Thomas @BenThomasLD]

@davidlubel The alternative is forcing the water companies to clean up their act. Instead of just taking out billions of dividends, perhaps they can actually invest in the infrastructure that’s clearly lacking.

[David Lubel @davidlubel]

I don’t really know enough about it – if the alternative is sewage in the streets, then I guess they are right

[Ben Thomas @BenThomasLD]

Vote 🟦, get 💩

[David Lubel @davidlubel]

Haha - to be honest no other EU government would allow their population a free vote on something this important - let alone act on the result.

[Chris Mayhew @ChrisMayhew9]

@JimCognito2016 @NickTayNorfolk @NickFerrariLBC @LBC They always go a bit quiet when asked about that queue of other EU MSs wanting to leave after Britain. Try asking Brexiters why no other country is doing this to itself. They tie themselves in knots and even the ‘sensible’ ones go all ranty.

[David Lubel @davidlubel]

Could simply ask the surgery why they need to know this info. There may be a simple answer that negates the need to consider conspiracy theories.

[David Lubel @davidlubel]

Sounds like the system is working. Well done for getting jabbed because Covid can cause major cardiac problems.

[Magwitch 🦅 @magwitch22]

@NoNegativeWave1 @WhatNowDoc I used a heart monitor three weeks ago and returned it. I was then asked to attend hosp for an echocardiogram.
I have just received a letter to say I have an appointment with a cardiologist on 7th July. I could be history by then. P.S. Nothing wrong with my ticker before the jab.

[David Lubel @davidlubel]

The (very sensible, since jabbed) son may need referring to a rapid access chest pain clinic if not already under a cardiology service

[Lynda Hayes @Lyndahayes]

@NoNegativeWave1 @WhatNowDoc My 33 yr old jabbed son has been waiting for a 24hr heart monitor since January. Palpitations and chest pain. Hope your brother gets one soon. 💕
