30+ years in the NHS (now retired). I used to be a ‘suit’ but don’t hold that against me. Never tory, NEVER, EVER, TORY!

That’s not a ‘flying car’. It’s a ‘not crashing car’ Oh and physics doesn’t work like that!

We were in Philadelphia in 2016, on the day he turned up stumping for HRC. The authorities checking our ID couldn’t have been more pleasant as we went in to see him. Somewhat different to the atmosphere in the US now. The buzz in the crowd as his car appeared was electric as was listening to him.

Surely ‘illegal immigrants’ won’t be on the electoral register and therefore cannot vote anyway? Happy to be corrected but that’s how it happens in other countries.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I worked in a cancer hospital and the 4 week wait stds are that you should wait no longer than 28 days from an urgent suspected cancer referral or screening to find out if you have cancer or to be ruled out. A pt once told me that 4 weeks was an eternity. It stayed with me.

It appears to me (and TBH) the rest of the rational thinking world that Markwayne is more familiar with wearin’ dungarees and drinkin’ some drivin’ whiskey sitting around his ceeement pond than analysing complex immigration data.

And yet not a single mention of a salary, and some of those fields that are ‘required’ are questionable.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social re Debbie Reynolds, the kitty with a dark side. We have a cat who has hunted for the past 16 years. He ALWAYS leaves the gall bladder, and for some reason delights in leaving them at the most inaccessible place under the dining table. You should hear him crunch the skulls!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social re alcohol on planes there are over 400 Ryanair flights in the air as you speak. About 15 yrs ago we’ve also been subjected to a chap next to us who drank his own bottle of duty free rum on an 11 hour flight to Cuba. We’ve never had a drink on a plane since.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social the thing I’ve noticed with cruise ships arriving at ports where we’re staying is the prices in the jewellery and tat shops go up by about 30% during their ‘visit.’ And the shopkeepers are quite open about it.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social re Starmer: the issue for me is about is about what Starmer did once he found out. I can’t hold anyone accountable for a decision based on withheld knowledge. I do think that sacking Mandelson was correct and once you found that a CS held back the info then the CS should go

Pedant here : If a sentence begins with a ’if Joe Bloggs thinks that XYZ will happen,’ the next qualifying statement should read ‘then he’s got another *think* coming’. It’s not difficult

2nd October 2025 - that’s 187 days ago, musk was reported to have just broken the $500 billion mark. Can someone, anyone explain the economics/ methodology behind amassing a $300billion income in that time? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Musk becomes first person ever to see wealth top $500bn
The rise has been driven by a sharp increase in the value of his electric car company Tesla.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I can’t ring in but ‘Broadsword to Danny boy’ isn’t in Wild Geese, but it is in a Dr Who episode (2010). In the episode "Victory of the Daleks," Winston Churchill uses the callsign while coordinating RAF Spitfires in space to fight the Daleks. Enjoy Greece! Yassas!

As with all things with Starmer’s PR machine, this decision has to be explained in context, rather than being blithely announced. I always worked on the basis of knowing how a business was put together to understand how and why certain decisions are made. This one escapes me!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social re trumps revelation of Congressman Dunne’s diagnosis, it reminded me of the Harry Enfield Paul Whitehouse ‘old hits’ sketch when they were looking through obituaries and Endield’s character was cackling ‘you’re dead, I’m not, you’re dead and I’m not.’ Chilling and awful!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social James re the £40k to failed asylum seekers to leave the UK. Can you ask your news teams to qualify the story that the £40k is for a family of four. It’s £10k per person, it’s a voluntary trial and if successful could save £20m per year in hotel costs. Surely facts matter!

If I was Tkachuk, for example, I’d be wary about being greeted by ICE/border patrol, what with his clearly foreign name. Everyone knows what the US men’s hockey team should do. Regrettably, we all know what they will do!

It has always struck me that the American press and ipso facto the American people don’t acknowledge, choose to forget/ignore or simply miss absolute red flags that any other ‘democracy’ would scream from the rooftops. Remember, ‘vote for me and you’ll never have to vote again’? Do better America!

I had to turn it off. It was when he started equating board members’ wealth with competence rather than clarifying that most of the people on that board should have their wealth equated with their level of criminality.

I don’t like what you’ve written but then the truth often hurts. As a start, Labour need to up their PR game. The level and content of comms is so poor it barely registers. How many people do you think read that over 60k failed asylum seekers have been ret’d in the last 12 months? No? Thought not.

Well you just answered your own question. The question the Trump administration have to balance is whether the current level of fear is sufficient to keep the population in check. The populace haven’t fought back yet so there’s no need to impose martial law. However, once it is, the gloves are off!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social re medical training posts. In the 80’s the govt publ’d a document called ‘achieving a balance’ which was all about facilitating overseas doctors coming to the uk to train, finish their trg and go home. This was dependent on sufficient training posts. They didn’t get it right

I read a while ago about a hunt that chased a fox onto a farmer’s property during lambing/calving time. He told them to leave, they refused. The farmer had a shotgun and a licence and was on his land so let off a shot, into the ground, away from the hunt, protecting his stock. The hunt left….

If he apologises he’s admitting he did it. If he vacillates and delays he’s hoping it becomes tomorrow’s chip paper. He won’t and it won’t, simply because it’s too big an issue to sweep under the carpet. Well at least it is for most of the population
