@DanNeidle Marginal tax rates above 50% clearly motivate individuals to question why they would pay more tax than they earn, and more importantly to value their free time, particularly if they have children. The evidence is there. Perhaps some don’t want to hear it…
@JeremyRenner@flintoff11
Watching this (as well as Andrew’s documentary) has made me grateful for even the crap days…
I hope these two have hooked up, talking to people who have shared a similar experience, however traumatic, might help them both…
Jeremy Renner Says His Jaw Still Doesn’t Line Up After Breaking It in Three Places
“Every joint, every joint… is an issue.”
“I have a lot of foreign objects in my body.”
“My mouth is the only thing that’s really kind of irritating.”
“The jaw broke in three places and all the molars got pushed in.”
“If I bite down too hard, I’ll break a tooth and have to get it replaced.”
But despite everything his body still has to deal with, Jeremy refuses to let it define his life.
“Does it suck? It sucks, dude.”
“But I’m breathing, I’m running, I’m living a good life.”
“I have so much joy and love… I have a lot to give.”
“It’s like having a rock in your shoe. Who cares?”
Twenty-five years ago today Paul Vaessen, scorer of one of the most famous European goals in Arsenal's history, died aged 39.
The headline in the local paper said, “Drugs finally beat addict.”
Not “Ex-Arsenal star” or “Hero of Turin.” Just “addict”

Not the Phil Parkes I remember playing for West Ham and who I scored against in training @ ITFC at the age of 16. Both legends at their respective clubs but uncanny there being 2 of them!!! https://t.co/KtP3Jxio0Q
@DonnaLouise1212 Met him with family whilst out walking the dog, stopped to say hello to my dog & kid and seemed a genuinely nice bloke. Did take me 10 mins to realise who he was but perhaps a good lesson to always judge a person by their actions not what you read about them…
It seems I’ve stumbled across the most divisive issue of all time. Those who loathe the use of passed or passing in reference to death & those who prefer it. I’m in the loathe camp, I think it attempts to sweep away the profound significance of death, but it’s quite the debate
One of England's all-time greatest captains, Ben Stokes, has decided to retire from international cricket at the end of this Test match.
Ben, you have been the most inspirational captain, leader and legend this team could have ever hoped for.
We love you so much and wish you all the best in your retirement ❤️
England will never be the same again.
@sportbible In all honesty it’s probably the right call given the injury niggles of the missing supposed 1st 11. Hopefully Watkins / Toney get some minutes too. We need all players ready for the knock out stages…
Daycare calls me. That's never good.
For them.
Daycare: "your son hurt his elbow and won't move his arm. Can you come take him to a doctor's office?"
Me (ex Special Forces Medic): "A real doctor is on the way to you now. I am 6 mikes out. Alert me of status changes."
I arrive at daycare. I locate the patient. 21 month old male. Scene is not safe. I drag the patient to cover and concealment behind a seesaw, away from the other small terrorists in the AO.
I begin my assessment. Blood sweep negative for massive hemorrhage. Mental status: conscious and verbal but confused (answers "dada" when asked for blood type). One breath every 2 seconds. Bilateral rise and fall of the chest. Strong carotid pulse, strong bilat radial pulse.
Teeth and tongue intact no blood no mucus no dip or foreign objects. Eyes PERRLA, negative JVD/trach deviation, C-spine intact upon palpation.
Heart sounds strong upon auscultation. Percussion negative for hemo-T. Abdominal quads normal upon palpation. Pelvis negative for book sign.
Arms and legs negative for crepitus. However, Patient indicates discomfort in right arm upon palpation and supination/flexion of the elbow.
Nursemaid's elbow.
I begin interventions. Supination/flexion technique complete at 1215. Palpable clunk on successful reduction. I write the time on his chest in Sharpie. I tape a popsicle to his hand and tell the patient to suck but do not bite/chew. I write "1 x popsicle (10g sugar)" on his chest in Sharpie.
I reassess the patient after performing interventions then package the patient for handoff to daycare/higher level of care. I yell at daycare over the Blackhawk in my head: "21 month old male!!! Nursemaids elbow!!! Treated with supination/flexion technique at 1215!!! Patient has 1 x popsicle onboard!!"
Daycare: "sir please leave."
Me: "you should have called my wife."

@MartinSLewis I have a neighbour using my home address for their property listing on https://t.co/eTGUPZywdJ and we have had drunk people trying to enter our home late at night, requiring the police to be called. They refuse to amend the listing. I have young children. Help!
UPDATE. Eight more words I never thought I'd write. POLICE FORCE CONFIRMS. IT WAS SHOCKING.
POLICE OFFICERS. PUNCHING GIRLS. BATONS DRAWN. TASERS OUT.
Teenage girls half their size. Nothing but a smart mouth. Punched. Pushed. Knocked to the ground in Rotherham.
A uniform is supposed to mean protection. Here it meant permission.
A Taser is a near lethal weapon. You pull it on someone who could KILL you, not a girl with attitude and empty hands.
Strip the uniform off and the badge was the only thing dressing this up as a beating.
The law calls that passive resistance. Not danger. The standard is minimum force, de-escalate first, restraint only as a last resort.
Reaching for a baton wasn’t pressure. Nobody trained them to do that. They chose it. He was trained to DOMINATE.
A thousand strong mob looted shops, set fireworks off, assaulted four officers, weeks ago in London. A hundred officers handled it over days, no batons, quiet CCTV arrests.
In Rotherham, school leavers celebrating exams got punched and Tasered on the spot.
This isn't one bad shift. It's Rotherham, where girls were raped by organised gangs for decades while protectors looked away.
The IOPC found an officer told a victim's father nothing could be done, the town would erupt if the truth came out.
A survivor said recently it's “not a thing of the past, it's still happening today”Watch this footage and tell her she's wrong.
Every one of those girls is somebody’s daughter, young enough that someone hoped they could turn to the police for help. Now they’ve learned to run the other way.
South Yorkshire Police have now confirmed an investigation, calling the clip "nothing short of shocking." Their own words.
The Deputy Mayor for Policing says she's horrified, and expects anything falling short of professional conduct dealt with swiftly and robustly, especially when it involves young people. PSD are reviewing every second of bodycam footage, before, during and after.
The Police Federation has already pushed back, saying clips rarely show the full story and officers deserve due process. Maybe. But a force investigating its own conduct and calling it shocking isn't exactly backing that defence either.
A civilised country doesn't measure its policing by how hard it can hit the smallest person in the room. It measures it by whether it had to hit them at all.
Not RUDE. DANGEROUS. Every baton and Taser pulled on a child was never a result. It was a failure.
