In the old days to prove seriousness and amend your ways you'd do a penance proportional to the offence eg full withdrawal from public life for say 2 years serving the poor in a slum

Looking forward to the announcement...

Frank is now trapped in a cycle of short-term non-doctor staff with no continuity and no one empowered to make a decision

The really galling thing is that because he really has no clue, hence the ridiculous bluster, eventually adults will have to find a way but then sit back while he claims the credit

Another day of the strategic void that is the US

Another day of Iran milking it

Another day of Israel devastating its neighbours, storing up ever greater wrath for itself for when someone discovers an effective means of revenge

Happy days

You really should do the GBBO with Maggie, Harry and Phil off the back of that

As Jesus said repeatedly, "I just want you all to like me; ignore what I say"

'No choice' will be their defence but I think all of them could find a way to walk, if so desired

Image of the Coma Cluster

Had a go at the Coma Cluster of galaxies - most of the lights in this image are galaxies not individual stars. The fuzzy one on the right is galaxy NGC4889 with a black hole 5,000 time the mass of our Milky Way black hole. = "the largest and most massive galaxy easily visible to Earth"

Variable star acquisition going well here!

Clear skies!

Mmm not got time to read all your papers

Give us a clue!

I hope they realise the risk they run, "Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand"

"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says"

If insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result, what is re-doing the thing that *caused* the result, now expecting it to remove the result?

Brexiteers have been given every opportunity to make their absurd fantasy work

Now they've proven it can't, let's do the sensible thing

Meanwhile in UK just had my nth (medically indicated) Covid vax on #NHS

Only ever had Covid once before vaccine existed, just as I only had Measles before MMR & never had tetanus, polio, diphtheria, hepatitis A or B, Yellow Fever, smallpox, TB or Rabies

Still well!!

Why on earth is this? 🤔

#BBC!

TODAY you report a single case of a pretend immigrant being given dodgy advice to claim domestic violence on a single occasion as your main headline but with zero evidence of widespread impact and so crossed a line from simple editorial incompetence to actively promoting racism

Every leader who took on the Catholic church in history is now dead but the church is still here
#JustSaying

Quiet day for boat stories and got to stoke the hatred somehow?

BBC news is no longer a public service broadcaster

Or as they say in US
SEE IT
SAY IT
SHOOT IT

I still find it extraordinary that these 'biblical' folks ever thought it ok to appoint to President someone who on St Paul's criteria is so obviously unfit to oversee even a village congregation

As a doctor I *always* healed by laying a hand on the fevered brow, with a fistful of shiny healing crystals in the other, and the heavenly choirs overhead..

.. What?! That's not your experience of seeing a medic?

He just needs to part the waters of the strait a la Moses - those Tankers can't cross on dry land

Yup, the power for our am drive today came from the sun via solar PV with a small green tariff grid top-up

FYI we're in the "I'm going to scream and scream and scream til I'm sick!" phase of the Trump presidency

But a negative times a negative is a POSITIVE outcome!

To my mind a pardon can only meaningfully happen after the crime has been committed, detected and successfully prosecuted and any prospective pardon should be considered void

Maybe they should have read dictionary definitions of 'negotiation' and 'dictation' of terms before they started

If you draw the line at threatening civilisational erasure but not at actual genocide, lying, paedophilia, corruption, abusing the disabled, misogyny, killing schoolgirls etc you ain't drawing a moral line!

We're at the stage of the foolish incompetent making a catastrophic mess, knowing it's catastrophic but, out of options, is unable to admit it, unable to ask for help and unable to walk away
