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...

Yup! One of my all-time favourites.

Confused popemobile with batmobile? Call commissioner gordon, Leo isn't saving gotham....

After spending the last few weeks in aging parent admin hell, will be seriously fucked off if this sleazy, trashy self obsessed idiot causes the world to end just when we can see the end of some of it. You classless, cartoon 'president', I posted a ton of forms this afternoon- don't you fkin dare!

Well that'll teach me 🫣

The Border Tart

Ordered some kits from The Border Tart (tartsart.co.uk) - some for me and some for a gift. All arrived beautifully wrapped, with lovely fabric and notions inside. Fantastic website.

Focussed on the politics of it all - which has been his 'career' after all - and ignores the question about the awful policy suggestion.
Also why is he so disdainful about hope not hate - is it that without hate he has no hope?

Like a task on the Apprentice

I imagine there isn't a queue she wouldn't jump

It makes me so angry (you can probably tell).

I'm supposed to tip-toe around the issues I'm passionate about lest the pronouns in my bio trigger Sharon and Barry into voting for a fascist, but we can't ever be too mean to the guy they voted for in case it hurts their feelings by proxy?

OK, the Gorton and Denton by-election, I have some thoughts!

Let's take a look at some of the FACTS and burst a few of the more ridiculous takes doing the rounds

When i was young nob meant posh, knob meant (amongst other things) idiot - of course there are many who fall into both categories - that hereditary peer one who keeps twittering in the telegraph - very definition of knobbish nob.

Official Team GB Paralympic photo, with the the crests and everything, and a professional headshot, but it's for "Pickle, A Very Good Girl", who is a black labrador, with a hi-viz harness and a red collar.

Some of you like dogs, in which case you may appreciate that guide dogs of Team GB for the Paralympics get official photos

Tell me something – a small thing – you really really love. Mine is this quote from an interview with Mackenzie Crook about his writing shed: “It’s not a ‘man cave’, there’s no calendar of saucy ladies or beer cooler (although I do have a fridge where my tortoises hibernate in the colder months).”

Screen shot from Paul Embery’s X account: Respect to this police officer. Confronted by radicals demanding the arrest of a Christian preacher on the grounds that Whitechapel "is a Muslim area" she was calm and professional and gave them short shrift. Let's see more of this from the police. Has a video of a woman police officer talking to a group of Muslim men

This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too!

The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression.
