BBC covers story of 300 schoolgirls being kidnapped as its 13th item. Imagine where it would out that story if they were white.

So sad to hear of Bob Fisk’s premature death. He was one of the best Northern Ireland correspondents at the height of the troubles. A great loss to journalism.

@EdzardErnst Childish, disgusting, and of course not true. Russia and the US essentially won WW2 more than the UK did, and it is the UK now trying to push Europe around.

A good piece on HBO’s Chernobyl and its scientific illiteracy, not to say questionable ethics: https://t.co/tMiDpsGPyB . But beware: Forbes takes Online advertising to new depths.

@littlejeff5 @Dtremms @margarethodge @UKLabour Did I read that right: verbal abuse is a disciplinary matter in politics? If that’s true then parliament must be undergoing the biggest transformation since the Great Reform Act.

A culture of learning and candour has transformed safety in flying (not a single commercial flight death last year) and is a priority for all healthcare systems.

No one is above the law. But nor is the law above reproach - which is why we have law reform. The fad for regarding a mistake as a crime is actually new. Criminality always required intent. It is iniquitous as well as dangerous to criminalise trying to save your life.

Blame is inimical to patient safety just as it is to airline safety. We need candour not defensiveness, learning not criminalisation of mistakes.

Surely we need to prioritise systemic solutions to protect patients in the future rather than castigate people for mistakes in the past.
