Apparently there’s something called “The Kent Nationalist Movement” preparing trouble on south coast! L’Express did predict Brexit would transform Kent from “the garden of England” to « le parking d’Angleterre »but not the magnet for domestic terrorists. O tempora o mores..

OK fine, but the jobless would like the Tories to stop gambling with the economy. Tories should be restricted to essentials: food, heating and one Union Jack per household. And after six months they should be moved to onto Universal Discredit. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #jokes #scotland

Tories would prevent long-term jobless spending benefits on alcohol and cigarettes

The proposals would also see benefits cut for people who are able to work but have failed to hold down a job.

@johnharris1969.bsky.social It took a lot of work to persuade teachers that some children should be treated slightly differently. Schools came late in human history & childhood mortality was so commonplace that it’s not surprising neurodivergence wasn’t recognised.

@johnharris1969.bsky.social Was junior in child psychiatry when Lorna Wing translated Asperger’s research. Years later as community paediatrician I realised there were more kids ?ASD than we could refer to tertiary services & no local CAHMS. Clinic was born, then for ADHD.

@gylesnamopaleen.bsky.social I hope I’d still recognise you as Irish if I heard your voice. Working in England I had to modify my lexicon and syntax to some extent but my accent defeated the complex English class system- doctors see everyone.

@gylesnamopaleen.bsky.social I was unable to find a German translation of “weasel words” which the lead up to and events of WWII (which I have studied in 4 languages) would have made me think useful.

@gylesnamopaleen.bsky.social Not only did “Tommy Robinson” support an ex-soldier facing prosecution for murder on Bloody Sunday but also held a bizarre protest on roof of FIFA HQ in Zúrich over some imaginary insult to England. Far-right- often w/o enough neurons to make synapse still dangerous

@ottoenglish.bsky.social I so enjoyed seeing Malcolm Offord & pals being told off by the Presiding Officer at Holyrood for their immature walk out when independence was to be debated- having not followed procedure before it was scheduled.

If you're advocating dismantling the triple lock on British state pensions rather than greater taxation on the super-rich or rejoining the EU then you I'm afraid are part of the problem in this country no matter how liberal you might pretend to be. You're just another cosy middle-class useful idiot.

Scotland is a nation, and we have the right to decide our own future. On Tuesday, I’ll ask MSPs in the Scottish Parliament to back that simple principle. Whatever your view on independence, that should be something we can all agree on.

@gylesnamopaleen.bsky.social why do I like Ireland’s recent presidents more than USA version? I met Mary McAleese at a conference for LGBT+ Catholics (we both have gay sons) & she chatted to me before I knew who she was as an equal.

Surely this IS fake news..

@gylesnamopaleen.bsky.social I notice you don’t call yourself an “expat”. It is incredible to remember that English “expats” living in Spain voted for Brexit sometimes declaring “there are too many foreigners in England”!

@gylesnamopaleen.bsky.social I remember reading in British Medical Journal about concerns of doctors living near NI/ROI border of possible impact of Brexit on their patients’ health
