@GBNEWS If we lockdown now, we'll lockdown every year. At some point we'll have to accept this is endemic and we'll have to live with the constant outbreaks - like we do with influenza #lifegoeson

@LincsPolice @NBPAUK I love the work @LincsPolice do, but there's no surer way to create divide than to establish groups that highlight our different skin colour. If you want a truly diverse and non-racist police force, please consider yourself police officers not black or white police officers.

Being a bad doctor is so easy; smash out those antibiotics, and send anything slightly complex to ED. Being a good doctor is both tiring and risky. I wonder how much longer I can get away with being a good doctor.

I've been quite a GP sceptic in recent times, but I have come to realise many of our GPs are unsung heroes trying to stave off the floods of healthcare consultations. In the face of requiring more doctors, many of us are thinking of changing careers. We need change!
