On "Blue Lights," a cop suffered a severe femoral artery injury on @bbciplayer.bsky.social He survived, thanks in part to a 20gauge cannula in his ante-cubital fossa & a litre of IV glucose. Miracles do happen. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Working from home today, so with the radio on, there were regular news updates. BBC leading all day with comments from Farage. No attempt to present the real issues faced by the majority of refugees & the comparative numbers. Not to mention the number of nonces in right wing groups

Bazball Personified

The was a little girl
Who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead
Whe she was good, she was good
And when she was bad, she was horrid

That's a wrap. Three concerts in four days. Exhausting period for all Security, Safety & Healthcare staff. Hot debriefs have been had, but more learning comes via reflection in 'the cold light of day.' The role od Safety & Medical Advisory Groups is imperative for such events. No box ticking!

An anniversary worth marking.

I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.
