@whenwisdomfails @RupertLowe10 If your clinical training taught you to rely on ad hominem attacks and blame desperate parents instead of child traffickers and failing institutions, it’s a good thing you’re retired.

@whenwisdomfails @RupertLowe10 I find your victim blaming offensive. None of Scarlett's abusers have been brought to justice, and the criminal responsibility lies solely with them. (2/2)

[Rosellyne Worrall (M7RSW) @rozallin]

@whenwisdomfails @RupertLowe10 He was begging for the local authority and police to help them (Scarlett’s case appears in The Baird Inquiry) and spent three years driving here there and everywhere looking for her as she was groomed and trafficked. (1/2)

My fantasy dinner party: @elonmusk, @sama, Isaac Asimov, Iain M. Banks, Ursula K. Le Guin, Daniel Kahneman, Nelson Mandela, and any friends who'd enjoy veggie curry and sticky toffee pudding while watching an intellectual royal rumble on humanity's future.

@RupertLowe10 Except it is someone’s business; the hospitality staff who have to work in those rooms, clean them, and breathe in second-hand smoke for an entire shift. Poison your own body if you want, but they shouldn't have to sacrifice their health for a paycheque.

@JR12493830 They're entitled to their breaks. You should have scheduled your appointments further apart so that you weren't in a rush to get between them; your poor time management is not their emergency.

@junitheopossum The UK invited Argentina to take the dispute to the ICJ in 1947, 1948 & 1955. Argentina refused. Leaseback deals were floated in the 60s/70s, but islanders rejected them. 2013 referendum: 99.8% voted to remain. What do you think hasn't been tried?

Apparently, I've been enrolled on a four-week NHS programme for people who have had cancer.

The first appointment, which includes something called a "Holistic Needs Assessment", is in ten days' time.

But instead of feeling supported, this letter has made me feel angry.

Because nobody told me anything about it until the letter arrived.

Nobody asked whether I wanted to attend.
Nobody checked whether I was available.

And in the six months since my treatment ended, not one healthcare professional has been in touch to ask if I was OK.

Apparently, I have to attend the initial assessment before I can discover what weeks two, three and four actually involve - or even what time commitment I am expected to make.

Many cancer patients have already spent months organising their lives around appointments they didn't choose.

So enrolling them on programmes without their consent risks creating exactly the sort of stress the programme is supposed to alleviate.

Which is ironic, given that financial wellbeing is apparently one of the areas covered.

Because many patients have already lost income as a result of treatment. If they're self-employed, like me, every appointment comes with a direct financial cost.

All that aside ...

I am a woman who had breast cancer.
I am not on a 'pathway'.
I am not a box to be ticked.

I am a human being. An individual. Which means my experience of cancer is unique to me - just as every other patient's experience is unique to them.

And I cannot help wondering how much money has been invested in creating programmes like this when some of the basics still seem so hard to get right.

Like making the time to actually speak to cancer patients.

And simply asking:

What support do you already have?
What support might you need?

Then actually listening to what they have to say.

And asking for their consent before enrolling them in 'wellbeing' programmes - rather than assuming.

Because sometimes a simple phone call from someone who sounds as though they genuinely care can be all a patient needs.

And that phone call didn't come when I actually
needed it.

@jessicaelgot It took me 31 years to reach the same milestone.

@SpeechUnion I was at uni at 17… you could have a journalism or politics student who isn’t, due to their curfew, allowed to take part/follow the #bbcqt discussion on X whilst the programme airs.

[Rosellyne Worrall (M7RSW) @rozallin]

The Guardian of 2013 understood instinctively that centralised records of online behaviour are a surveillance resource. The Guardian's deputy political editor in 2026 is mocking people for raising that concern.

You’re going to see an incredible amount of fake outrage about facial scans by people who merrily have their faces scanned 20 times a day to use Apple Pay.

[Rosellyne Worrall (M7RSW) @rozallin]

@jessicaelgot Age verification for social media involves submitting ID/biometric data to third-party verification services, creating centralised databases of who accessed what platform and when, with all the breach, misuse, and function creep risks that entails.

[Rosellyne Worrall (M7RSW) @rozallin]

@EvieAspinall_ It’s a tone and timing issue. With SEND parents still awaiting clarity from @educationgovuk on reforms and answers to consultation concerns, “you better make sure you concentrate hunnies!” from a celeb comes across as dismissive.

[Rosellyne Worrall (M7RSW) @rozallin]

@danjfmatthews @educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP Katie Price would have actually been a better choice, because at least she has lived experience as a parent of a child with Special Educational Needs.

[Rosellyne Worrall (M7RSW) @rozallin]

There were two uniformed police officers stationed outside my polling station, I'm trying to find out if this is happening everywhere (due to terror threat level) of if it's specific to my area after the 2024 by-election chaos. (Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council).

@ShaneFrakes Hi, remember I always said please and thank you.

@bigbiffx @slopministry @DaimenWorrall @SpenglerOs @cezthesocialist OP's blocked him so he cannot reply.

[Rosellyne Worrall (M7RSW) @rozallin]

@bigbiffx @DaimenWorrall @SpenglerOs @cezthesocialist It's a fair question. I don't know the exact terms; there's usually a clawback clause when insurance does eventually pay out. You might be right that it needs more scrutiny. My point was merely about why immediate government action made sense for emergency medical services.

[Rosellyne Worrall (M7RSW) @rozallin]

@bigbiffx @DaimenWorrall @SpenglerOs @cezthesocialist Hatzola provides a quasi-public service. Even if not dispatched via 999, they take the pressure off the NHS serving North London residents. Their loss is a loss to local healthcare infrastructure, not just a loss of private donor money.

This is my video that recently went viral. I cover the euthanasia situation in the Netherlands. For people under 30, it mostly targets autistic people (75%) and women (74%).
