'TV Doctor' (according to my critics) and scourge of pseudoscience. Old before my time. A patient with patients. Good without god. Definitely not homeopathy.

Isn’t this the most stunning picture?!.A lioness and her cub were crossing the savannah; the heat was excessive and the cub was in great difficulty. An elephant realized that the lion cub would die and carried him in his trunk to a pool of water, walking beside his mother. 😍

No, they will tell you that around 830 women die from pregnancy- or childbirth-related complications every day. They’ll also tell you that maternal-death rates have fallen in most developed nations. BUT IT HAS RISEN IN THE US. Thanks to fuckwits like you.
@UnreadDeleted @rawmanc @DoctorChristian Ask any honest doctor and they will tell you that there is no instance in which delivering a child alive is more harmful to the mother than scraping the child out in pieces. #prolifegeneration.

Our current situation of trying to suppress the virus is doomed to failure. The consequences of our actions far outweigh the risks. We must now accept that it is here to stay and learn to live with it, like we have had to do with almost all other infections.

One of the many really awful things about having depression is how many friends you let down as you repeatedly sabotage and screw things up. But one of the great things is when those friends keep standing by you, keep urging you onwards and never blame you. I am forever grateful.

A gentle reminder to all those voting in the referendum in Ireland tomorrow: don’t screw up like we did with Brexit. Don’t be misled by lies and manipulative emotive adverts. Do the right thing. Give women control over their own bodies. VOTE YES! #VoteYes #Together4Yes

Medicinal cannabis was legalised in the UK last year but so far, no-one in the UK has been able to access it. Regulations and red tape make the process so complicated that to date no patients have benefited. Despite government willy-waving it’s still easier to call a dealer. .
