Sadly, not a therapist so try not engage with conspiracists/AVers/bots/bigots/fascists & MAGA weirdos. Views my own/stolen. May contain typose. 🇪🇺 🌊🌊

It's 5pm. I walk out of Soho restaurant. On the cold pavement is a huddled bundle, young enough to be be my granddaughter. Too hopeless even to beg. I get her a coffee, give her my change. Does it make her feel better? Does it make me feel better? No. This is my country, 2019.
Who would have thought that electing a cowardly, talentless, bone-idle, self-serving, narcissistic Old Etonian serial liar in thrall to a ruthless, arrogant career psychopath and backed by millions from Moscow could end so badly?
What kind of shithole country fails to protect its hospital staff with adequate PPE, puts them through three phases of a deadly pandemic, watches 550 of them die and then gives them a 1% raise?
@willquince
The whole of the EU has started a major ventilator drive and will relocate resources to each member state as their situation peaks. They have generously decided to count the UK as a member state for this project despite our 'do-nothing' policy.
BBC News: Ian Duncan-Bogey has just said that there is "no evidence anywhere in the world" that shows an earlier lockdown than ours has been beneficial.
Kill me now.
The Coronation message that is now going round the world. CNN:
'Something out of a police state’: Anti-monarchy protesters arrested ahead of King Charles’ coronation
My favourite Covid quote of the day from my neighbour who's just emerged from a nasty bout. "It was like having Mark Francoise sitting on my chest for a week. "
A No 10 source has confirmed there will be an emergency Cabinet meeting on Monday. There is apparently only one item on the agenda.
1. "Fuck. What now?"
Hi, I'm Simon Clarke, Tory MP for Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland
@SimonClarkeMP
. On Monday, I will vote to normalise Prime Ministers lying to Parliament.
My huge black and tan dog just rocketed into the front garden in full cry and started giving merry hell through the gate to a couple wearing blue rosettes the other side. Over the din, they asked if they could count on my vote. I said I'd be voting with the dog.
Andrew Bridgen has just said that the leadership contest will be "a fight for the heart and soul" of the Conservative Party. A 'search' might be more apt.
My young doc son just casually mentioned that after working for weeks with inadequate PPE he'd caught and then come through Covid-19. Delighted and outraged in equal measure.

The answer's simple. Every major company has a highly detailed profile of it's key target customers and makes ads that will appeal to them. If you don't like an ad, Gary, it's because the company that made it simply doesn't give a flying fuck what you think.
A decade of feeding these revolting creatures a red meat diet of racism and xenophobia and you're horrified when the finally turn around and eat you? Really, Rishi? Really?
It's truly beggars belief that every serving Cabinet Minister is still 100% committed - even with the hindsight of 7 years of unmitigated disaster - to a policy that has ensured the UK has become poorer, more divided and less influential on the world stage.
Kuenssberg is apparently reporting that athough it's early days yet it's looking very like Trump has won the 2024 presidential election by a landslide.
@nadhimzahawi
Thank you for that, Nads - Starmer's rating just jumped 10 points on the strengh of it. It was particularly kind of you to slip out from under your rock considering you're currently the most hated man in the country. Respect.
@Nigel_Farage
Curious, Nige, that you appear to celebrate the defeat of fascism 75 years ago and yet so assiduously promote its return today. Perhaps best to sit this one out.
Sorry to bother you,
@gmcuk
, but I just wondered if it was now policy for your members to crow about the deaths of random football players and actors insinuating they were killed by the Covid vaccine?

My father in law was shot down over Belgium and passed through the Resistance to Paris where the family that was sheltering him were betrayed by their neighbour. The father was shot and the mother and daughter died in Ravensbruck.
An elegant elderly lady I know accosted me in our local post office this morning. "Ah, John, good to see you're still wearing your mask. After all, it's just good manners, isn't it?" Bless.

Incorrect. Only those who absconded on arrival broke the law and therefore could be described as 'illegal' immigrants. It is not illegal under any law, UK or international, to present yourself at any UK border and request asylum. But, of course, you know this.
@SteveHiltonx
Flattered by your interest in the old country, Steve old bean. However, when we need advice from someone who obviously voted for a criminal tangerine as his Dear Leader, please rest assured we shall ask for it.
@SuellaBraverman
Dear God. To remind oneself just how far the Tories have fallen in the last few years one only has to remember that you now hold the post that was once held by Dominic Grieve.
@itsJeffTiedrich
137,000 Americans are dead. New cases are running at a record 67,000 per day. The latest poll shows him 15 percentage points behind Biden and Britain's new master, the most powerful man on earth, sits behind the most famous desk on earth, endorsing beans.
Sorry to trouble you
@gmcuk
, I just wondered when it became acceptable for one of your members to describe a highly respected colleague as 'sick' for providing best advice to patients?
@Scarborough_GB
The Nightingales were never hospitals and never intended as such. They had no staff and no possibility of ever being staffed. They were merely outrageously expensive sets for government PR photo shoots.

The untruths are coming so thick and fast now that The Government is having a serious problem social distancing from its own lies.
