Oh god, I can't unsee this
GB News headline: GP who asked Muslim woman to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her' is struck off.
Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil?
How likely does that sound? 🤷♀️
Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?'
Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports...

here’s everything you missed while bluesky was down today
I regrettably tried this
Sky blue sausages that look like cocka
What with the prospect of being promoted, businesses in Coventry are brewing blue beer, painting and decorating windows, but one butcher is making Sky blue sausages and they look like cocks.
This is genius ❤️
On Tender Hooks Let me cut to the cheese: every time you open your mouth, I’m on tender hooks. You charge at the English language like a bowl in a china shop. I wish you’d nip it in the butt. On the spurt of the moment, another eggcorn tumbles out. It’s time you gave up the goat. Curve your enthusiasm and don’t give them free range – the chickens will come home to roast. Sorry to be the flaw in your ointment. You must think me a damp squid, I suppose – but they spread like wildflowers in a doggy-dog world, and your spear of influence grows. Brian Bilston
Today’s poem is called ‘On Tender Hooks’.
I have this as a drawing from you just above where I sit in my office. It makes me smile every time I look at it!
That looks lovely. Am jealous, as my walls are white. I might need to redecorate!

One thing they need to sort in Crimson Desert is people overreacting when I am within 10 feet of them on my horse. They all dramatically fall over. Either change it or give me a horn for my horse which I can beep and alert people to my presence. #CrimsonDesert
THREAD. My dad was in the supermarket the other day & had "an idea for a story" so grabbed a pen & paper off the shelf & wrote the idea down in the shop cafe. He then paid for the pen & pad at the checkout but felt bad he'd written on the pad & not bought anything else so bought a single tomato...
I respect this fess 😎
I've decided I want to be buried with my HP 12C financial calculator. I've had it since 1982, which is longer than I've had my family. It has never failed me, annoyed me, or put demands on me. It is my friend, and I don't want it going to the trash once I'm gone.

I nearly launched my controller out the window earlier as I fell off the abyss for the 30th time during one misson. Can't stop playing it though!
Aren't these the lyrics to We Didn't Start The Fire?
Slow Puncture I’d use every one of them – each tiny symbol / sign – to ‘light up’ my words … and write eye-catching lines: the comma; the colon; the ellipsis; the slash; the question mark; the hyphen; the en and em dash. In stanzas 1-2, it was all there on show (Was there nothing not used? The short answer: No!) But then I came to an unfortunate juncture: my punctuation, you see, got a slow puncture and those small, helpful marks which let my words breathe and made me understood, all started to leave. Hyphens unhappened semi colons got missed apostrophes went awol in commaless lists. “And what of the question marks Oh yes even those (while my brackets and speech marks forgot how to close When the last comma left there was nowhere to pause my words floated by in one endless clause and no one could tell once the full stops departed where one sentence ended and another one started capitals absconded and meaning left too as the breaks between stanzas bowed then withdrew just like the line breaks then all sense gotblurred thelastthingtogowasthegapsbetweenwordsbrianbilston

Ok I have seen a GOOD APRIL FOOLS JOKE in the wild.
My kids comic (Phoenix - home if @jamiesmart.bsky.social) comes in an envelope every week, we open it, had a fake cover for a soup review mag like we’d been sent the wrong thing.
Genius!
I love Bluesky for frequently coming across sentences I never thought I would ever read. The Internet never ceases to amaze.
Didn’t want to get affected like this giving evidence. Caught me by surprise. We all lost so much. We have to act on the inquiry’s recommendations. We have to be better now, so that we can be better next time.
Best thing I have seen all week.

I forgot about this song and now I'm having terrible flashbacks.
