Before the pile on - I know every patient young & old is important & should carry equal weight. But why can’t ED’s have a separate system to fast track VERY elderly patients. To be sitting on a chair waiting for 9 hours - prone to infection and still waiting isn’t right.

Why do we tolerate those who do not tolerate us?

Medical graduates of Aleppo University in Syria, chanting: “We are coming, Jew, we will make your blood flow like rivers.”

Of course, Gaza has nothing to do with this.

This is what Muhammad taught them when he promised that the Muslims will kill the Jews to the last one, and what Muhammad himself did to the Jews of the Arabian Peninsula.

Intelligence and a medical degree do not override Islam. A Muslim who takes Islam seriously, and that is most Muslims, may never participate in jihad himself, but he will support it wholeheartedly.

Refusing, for decades, to rationalise services because of local objections is why Northern Ireland’s health service is close to collapse.
If a new UUP minister gives into this, it'll be another year wasted.

I'm doing nothing next Tuesday and Wednesday if the @uuponline fancy a new leader.

"I’m living here 40 years, and I’ve never heard of a gang rape in Galway before"

Apart from GalwayLive (Connacht Tribune) on Thurs, and RTE belatedly on Friday, there has been no mainstream media coverage of the Galway alleged gang rape court hearing this week.

Nothing in Irish Times, Independent, Examinr, Mail, S*n, Mirror, Journal.

And RTE quite deliberately dropped the reference to the interpreter in the court case being Arabic.

"We’re sending the only media report I’ve seen  – from the Connacht Tribune – around on What’s App to our female friends and family members to warn them"

It's on Twitter though.

I never met Jason Arday, and know nothing about him beyond what I have read, seen and heard in the media.

As the debate around him raged in recent weeks, I stayed out of it, precisely because it struck me as one of those occasional frenzies in which facts get lost and humans cease to be treated as humans. I now wish I had reached out to him, tried to encourage him that “this too shall pass.”

Many people today, those who knew him above all but also many like me who didn’t, will be feeling sadness and anger that this has all led to his death, a family suddenly without a father, parents without a son. None of us will ever know exactly what was going through his mind, but it is hard to disagree with @MayorofLondon that Jason Arday faced “an unacceptable public hounding and campaign of abuse … pernicious public shaming that other people in his position wouldn’t have faced.”

Whatever the truth of the allegations against him, would he have suffered such a hounding had he been white, with short hair? I doubt it. The zeal with which the Trumpian anti-DEI brigade in the U.K. leapt on this story to try to push back the wheel of progress towards genuine equality was horrible.

Again, Sadiq is right to say “His death was a tragedy but it should be a wake-up call for all of us.”

RIP Jason. And to all of us, if ever you think someone you know may have cause to be suicidal, reach out to them.

While the papers chase culture war nonsense, @BylineTimes just dropped the real Cambridge story the establishment won’t touch.

Reform’s policy chief a Divinity professor turned the university into a Thiel funded political pipeline for Farage. Secret Palantir cash. Students housed in a “right wing mecca”. Private Antichrist lectures. Race science guests. Theocratic grooming of elite defectors.

Fake patriots sold the oldest university in the country to a Silicon Valley surveillance billionaire and apocalyptic Christianity. That’s not taking back control. That’s oligarch capture masquerading as common sense.

Media silence is complicity. Share it.
