I don't normally tap people for money because I like to run. I've also been unable to run like this for a while. Events this week though have spurred me to do this to raise awareness and funds for healthcare in Gaza. The ones being deliberately targeted. www.justgiving.com/page/david-c...

I'm not sure that the drive to "specialist care" in the NHS can be described as a successful strategy if it's only available for 5 days a week in office hours. So much emphasis on "demand management" for patients to not go to A&E. What about other bits of healthcare?

Privatisation in NHS. So there's £169 million of tax payers money gone to private providers as profits. Think I might have found a better use in say, funding primary and social care better tbh.

Great talk from Prof Shweta Gidwani This happens every day. Lots of people in the NHS spend more effort trying to turn down contributing to patient care than actually offering to help because of toxic silo culture. Specialism has worsened this. DOI Generalist

So the Marmot report on London last year showed that white working class boys did worse than ethnic minorities at school. When it came to getting jobs though they were the most likely to be hired out of all groups who applied.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Mainstream identity politics is believing the entitlements/achievements of white men are earned while feeling anyone who is Black, female, etc only achieved something because they were a “diversity hire.” The “anti-DEI” rhetoric is just a way to sanitise racist, sexist identity politics. It’s scary.
