I do not feel proud to be British at the moment, but Pat helps restore some pride in my country. Go Pat.

Did he say how far back the "native British ancestry" goes? And, as the King's ancestry is German and Greek, does that include him?

And that's basically how society still works. If someone says they're a woman or man, then most folk just accept that. What has been legitimised in the UK and USA in the last few years is people now feeling empowered to impose their view of who you are on you. 3/n

Good that it helped someone understand cancer but as a retired consultant oncologist I can say that the concept of non-linear development of cancer was well understood by 1993 and adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer was in use for years before that.

Comment, not response. In case anyone thought I was calling Jolyon pathetic etc. Definitely not.

This is a pathetic childish response from someone who can't behave in an appropriate manner or engage in rational debate. I can't begin to imagine the trauma this must have caused you but you are better than this and he isn't.

No. They haven't chosen to have health care a long distance from where they currently live. Their allowance is not sufficient to use public transport over that distance.

Most likely explanation is that they already had appointments and were then moved to another location (asylum seekers have to live where the Home Office puts them and are often moved at short notice). Yes care can be transferred but that causes delays. Also almost all journeys are shorter than this!

Makes me (even) proud(er) to be from Yorkshire... Go North Yorkshire Council!

S/he will, eventually, grow into those paws...

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you. Not.

And how else are they meant to get there? Out of less than £49 a week to include food and everything else?
