The number of stories about women being drugged by their husbands so other men can rape them makes me feel physically sick. Pelicot was the tip of the iceberg. And how many women are 'just' being drugged so their husbands can rape them?

This documentary really stuck with me-the bleakness of the excess. This is an excellent article

$1.6 million for a badly designed, unethical trial vs. $13,200 to give every baby in Guinea-Bissau a vaccine that prevents cancer.

Meanwhile the epidemic in the DRC is continuing to grow rapidly. There have been more than 9000 cases, about half of them deaths. And while you will hear way more about a single suspected plague case in most outlets, this outbreak is now by far the largest Ebola Outbreak the DRC has ever seen.

The BBC's robust pushback in this ridiculous case is very good to see, and should be its standard approach to American bullying.

I'm not convinced the EU would instantly welcome us back with open arms, anyway-they wouldn't want to risk encouraging other countries to try flip-flopping in and out as the mood took them. Closer alignment over timeframe t with a final jump back in

I thought they were meant to have done away with that system? Maybe I'm misremembering but I thought they had to offer online appointment forms now too? It's an absolute nightmare for patients-and I can't imagine it's much fun for reception staff, either

How do I compare a dull ache to a throbbing or stabbing pain? I've read documents relating to torture, I've seen Game of Thrones-nothing I've experienced could possibly be compared to some of the things I've read about but it's still had a big impact on my life. So, 4/10?

This is why I hate the pain scale. It makes no sense to me at all

The 1 thing that probably does need to end is the trend for open walkways through predator enclosures-they need to be caged in-the crocodile enclosure that kid was thrown into was a similar setup. You can't trust the general public.

I know big cats in zoos get bits of meat on a stick as a reward during training, but I love imagining them being fed Dreamies the size of shredded wheat (not the bitesize)-or getting a massive lick-e-lix during their vet checks

Latest far right malign effect - unfounded accusations of immigrants stealing wild birds to eat have led to a physical assault on a volunteer rescuing a cygnet. The Greenwich Wildlife Network statement is long, but worth a read - it's thoughtful, courageous and impeccably argued:

I think people forget the enormous volume of Trump Russia connections and also the enormous number of times Trump stumped for Putin or delivered benefits to him. There’s no such thing as 10,000 coincidences!

Honestly I've given up trying to engage my GPs for anything less than something I think might kill me (eg I did get a breast lump looked at in March, it was fine but needed referring)-they just can't be arsed with anything that isn't completely barn-door obvious or is 'just' a quality of life issue
