Another fun morning with #sophiefromromania meeting new friends at the secure field. She was a bit shy when two golden retrievers arrived but was warming up by the time we left.

Why do UK media outlets- in particular the Times, Mail and Telegraph - let Trump get away with appalling loutish behaviour which they’d condemn in anyone else? Like trying to get a journalist sacked for writing the truth or calling them scum or dropping the F-bomb in public

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71... What do you mean, you haven't signed the Parky Charter petition calling for better Parkinson's care?? We Parkies have an excuse - one of the symptoms of PD is apathy. But as for the rest of you, jump to it! (pretty please..)
Petition: Increase funding for people with Parkinson’s and implement the "Parky Charter"
We want the government to take the decisive five steps set out in the Movers and Shakers' "Parky Charter" and to fulfil the Health Secretary’s promises.

Farage's numbers look false, skewed or spun
Of the 16% (10.6m) people born abroad, 6/10 had arrived before 2011 [so he can't claim 7m new registrations since 2015]
- about 4/10 of those born abroad are UK citizens
+ non-citizens on visas pay £1035/year NHS surcharge. NHS net gain on £ now

Farage:
"7.2 million foreign-born people have registered with GPs in the last 10 years... All I'm doing here is giving you cold hard facts".
Well here's another cold hard fact - 40.6% of GPs in England and Wales are foreign born.
The NHS would completely collapse without workers from abroad.
