I've lived in the Fens before, so I know what to expect. Interestingly, the locals say that the hospitals in Ely and Newmarket have recently been upgraded and are now very good.

Soham, 4 miles from my son in Ely. Two-bed apartment in an 85-unit Sanctuary complex, shared ownership. Privacy but support on site.

Specialist hospital care here is poor. I needed an air ambulance to Liverpool after a month in hospital. All sorts of problems for my wife. We need family support, hence move to sheltered accomodation near our son. Sorry to hear about fracture.

Waves back. Forsworn social media apart from one weak moment in hospital. Moving back to England, with considerable regret, for health reasons. How are you?

Been away from social media for many weeks, and this is what I come back to.

Driven back to social media by hospital ennui. So sorry to hear about this.

Only just noticed this. Many thanks.

Blaskets still much on my mind. In obscure ways related to Georgia and faith. Do you have a title for the Heaney poem?

I fell down the Blasket rabbit-hole while exploring a thread about the languages and alphabets of Georgia!

As a dark-skinned man with a Muslim first name who lives in Germany I am taking this as a personal attack. Which is exactly what these racist monsters intend. This speech is designed to escalate mob violence against us. Nothing less. To everyone who said we were exaggerating, shame on you.

Never saw a sky like this in Paris: quite often from my bedroom window though. Still not convinced this isn't painted by Marc.

Never. The ethos of accuracy and impartiality has gone, and it won't come back.

The exponential decline of BBC is such a depressing spectacle. It needs a clear out of senior management - and the likes of Mason and Kuenssberg.

They will normalise whatever he says and does. Just as our media will do. As, I presume, the German press did for Hitler.

Oddly fascinated by the BBC's ability to use accurate language in headlines about Germany, but not the US.

So now we know what the BBC reporting strategy on Trump will be for the next 4 years: “President Trump said [insert latest outrageous /ludicrous/insulting/inflammatory statement] without evidence” No challenge.

John Woodman @jwripple.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

For sure. I suspect that many in senior management are Trump supporters, and it will be very clear to the rest of the operation what line they are expected to take.

BBC are never going to be anything other than supportive of Trump.

Pretty obvious to most BBC licencepayers that much of its news operation has been captured by the same forces of the extreme Right, yet no one in the Labour government seems to have noticed.

Media needs to find a way of reporting Trump’s reality as opposed to reality. Here he is apportioning blame to individuals who are not to blame. This is Orwellian. #r4today #Washington

The use of the tan alone should have precuded him from selection.

Fixing OFCOM and the BBC a very smart move. Has paid off handsomely so far, and now the way is clear to give Trump uncritically favorable coverage.

John Woodman @jwripple.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

Trump's performance was grotesque, breaking with all norms of decency. In choosing to describe it as 'combative', BBC plays its part in the normalisation of evil.

We need to get past the disbelief. Disbelief is a sign we've not fully accepted the reality. NOBODY should be surprised about any of this.

The BBC and other major news providers have to stop pretending that Donald Trump as president is in anyway normal because it normalises this... and I don't know quite what it is but it sure as hell is not normal

Worthy of a complaint, but you know it would be dismissed.
