Feel your pain. Keep on doing what you. There’s an argument that not leaving the field to the mad, bad and dangerous to listen to/ read is exactly what is right and ethical. (X now an exception).

Yes, absolutely, yes. The effective defunding of local services, followed by cynical national election campaigns banging on about fixing potholes allows an endless accountability sleight of hand. Local government does big, real stuff that matters to people. Yet it is always apathy or protest vote.

Deeply disappointing by CMA. Does nothing to address the regional monopolies established by big groups acquiring local practices, leaving pet owners no choice. Or the way they give vets targets on procedures and profit per pet (as reported by BBC File on 4 in April) which undermines trust.

Exactly so. The quantity of misinformation being pumped out is appalling. And it’s then followed up with town centre vox pops with the anxious consumers of the misinformation, amplifying and ‘legitimising’ it and generating yet more heat without light.

Love so much of what you do and the take no sh**! with which you do it. But really??? Give it a break. Just encourage more solo female dog walkers.

Mad myths not confined to London. In our quiet town in NE Scotland was told in horrified tones we were on the cusp of being swamped with dangerous asylum seekers!?** We do have a Turkish barber though. He’s a joy and entirely safe with sharp implements (his close shave is sheer luxury, I’m told).

Terrifyingly true. Beyond question, the principle that drove the founding of the NHS is worth defending for all its modern day flaws. (And, yes, it was founded). Sure, we can look to other healthcare systems for good practice, but let’s learn from the privatisation horrors, too. I’m still clapping.

But as the article makes clear, that feeling of alienation has a number of very different causes, not just immigration which was takeout from the speech.

Great perspectives - tragic that marketeers still think the milestone means cruises, woolies, sensible shoes and funeral plans. As Sheena Blackhall says: ‘grannies are punks nowadays’. Happy birthday!
