I am in Scotland and partially retired over a year ago, and was told by SPPA ,after several emails back and forth, that I would receive my RSS by the end of this month. Today this arrived. I could wait potentially another 2 years!

I am against violence. I am against celebrating violence. I’m praying for peace. I’m praying for healing. I’m praying for the family, especially the children. I know what they’re going through. I’ve been through it.

I’m deeply scared for this country. The way some people are reacting on both sides is dangerous. If I had one wish right now it would be for everyone to please just step back and take a breath and remember we are all just sophisticated apes trying to coexist on a rock hurtling through space.

If we cannot tolerate polite and reasoned disagreement then there is no hope for our society.

There is a famous quote falsely attributed to Voltaire that however does sum up a principle of enlightenment philosophy, ‘I disagree with what you say, but I would die to defend your right to say it.’

The ideas of people like John Locke and Voltaire and Thomas Paine are what lead to the American Revolution which then inspired the French Revolution. They introduced the World to the idea that individual rights were important and should be protected from Monarchs (tyrants and dictators), and ultimately led to the idea that a country should be governed by its people NOT by the Church and NOT by a King.

If citizens don’t protect and respect each other’s right to disagree, then we cannot have a democracy. If we do not protect our right to disagree then we’ll get violence.

We do NOT want a society where violence is the way we win arguments, because then nobody wins. Everyone loses.

We are ALL losing right now. The whole society is losing together. Losing to violence. It’s unbelievably sad. It took so much work to get us here. We can’t throw it all away like spoilt children.

I did NOT agree with Charlie Kirk’s views on MANY important topics. I know he helped get Trump elected and people hate him for that. But he was a conservative Christian. What do you expect a conservative Christian to believe? How can those views surprise you? He argued those views calmly, reasonably, and considerately as far as I’ve seen.

But no matter what he did not deserve this. His wife did not deserve this. His kids did NOT deserve to have their world torn apart!

The way some people are being so cold and uncaring and even celebrating is disturbing and repugnant to me. It is making me physically ill. If you are celebrating the murder of a non-violent man for his opinions then you are NOT the better person. Look in the mirror. Imagine telling his kids how you feel. Step back. Take a breath. Remember we are all humans. We are all just flickers of consciousness in an endless eternity. Love IS the answer. I really mean it.

We are quite literally ALL in this together. If this ship sinks we ALL drown. Look around you. Everyone you see is a shipmate. We have to figure this out. We have no other choice.

@icod Have you tried fresh cat food such as Katkin or Untamed? We were exactly where you are 3 months ago-lovingly prepared cooked chicken rejected. Three months in, our 18 yr old is still happy -definitely has favourite flavours but will eat it all in small ish portions

[Prof Colin Talbot (and my late pal Rory) @colinrtalbot]

Somewhat strange to hear @bbcnickrobinson haranguing an NHS Consultant for being on “over £100,000” and claiming to channel the feelings of ordinary people.

His salary in 2024 was between £345,000 - £349,000. For presenting radio programs. Which never saved anyone’s life?

My solemn aim is to never, ever, be on the receiving end of one of Baroness Nicholson’s beautiful letters.

Oooooooooft.

@parthaskar @NutterAlic41590 @BritOrthopaedic @bota_uk @ollie_townsend @OrthopodReg @RoshanaMN @RCPhysicians Trainees have valid concerns. If all PAs were like Patrick we wouldn’t have as big a problem, however we know they aren’t. Pause recruitment, set scope and increase training opportunities BUT how many Trusts are going to pay for both doctors and (more expensive ) PAs?

Here we go again with MPs being able to claim expenses on food and alcohol while at work in parliament. But can a NHS worker get a hot meal on the weekend? NO they can’t. They’re not even asking for a free meal… just a hot one. What an absolute disgrace.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

@wesstreeting @AmandaPritchard @gmcuk @the_mpts @RCSnews @RCSEd @prof_standards Genuinely institutional change will only happen, it seems, if the NHS, GMC & MPTS actually confront their ongoing inaction & tolerance of sexual harassment of staff – instead of merely talking about it

@Lollimax08 I saw on FB that a school in Gourock is looking for temporary staff, but I’m afraid I can’t find the story now-I think it was a local paper

@medicalmodelbri How will their elected PAs represent “the best interests” of patients as well as PAs?
