Friend had key-hole surgery on his knee (waited well over a year), cartilage growing on bone, lump behind knee and was told to ring GP for stitches to be removed in two weeks. Rang the next day - after hanging on the telephone for a considerable time (no turning up at the reception desk to make appointments) - to be told earliest they could give was 9th February. Operation was done on the 19th January so three weeks after. Decided to ring the original hospital who said it wasn't ideal, would probably be OK but to be on the safe side, go to A&E. (I've Googled it and apparently if left for too long, skin can grow around them which makes it harder to remove, scaring and maybe a risk of infection). Obviously not a life-and-death situation but how long does it take to take a few stitches out, and yet more work for the overburdened A & E.

Every time someone calls me a lefttard/loony leftie or sneers about socialism, I like to ask them what they’re doing this weekend. And tell them this: you didn’t invent the weekend.. you inherited it. And it wasn’t gifted by benevolent bosses or enlightened markets, it was won, inch by bloody inch, by organised workers, unions, reformers, and yes, the broad left.
For most of history, people worked six days a week. Long and brutal days too. Sunday off wasn’t “leisure”, it was church and collapse. During the Industrial Revolution, people worked until they were exhausted, maimed, or dead, children included. This was the free market in its natural habitat.
The weekend didn’t appear because capitalism suddenly grew a conscience, it appeared because people fought back, they organised and struck. They demanded shorter hours because human beings were breaking. Employers eventually conceded a Saturday half-day, not out of kindness, but because unrest and exhaustion were bad for profits and social stability.
The two-day weekend only really solidified in the early 20th century, after decades of pressure from labour movements. Even then, it was justified in cynical terms: rested workers are more productive, and people with free time spend money. Fine. We’ll take the deal.
So when someone spends Saturday morning in bed, Saturday afternoon watching football, and Sunday pretending Monday isn’t coming, then turns around and mocks woke libs, they are enjoying the proceeds of struggles they neither understand nor respect.
The weekend, the 40-hour week, sick pay, safety standards, paid holidays, child labour laws, all the boring things that quietly make life tolerable, none of these came from the right.. they came from people the right mocked, resisted, attacked, and still derides.
If you enjoy your days off, you are living inside a left-wing victory. You don’t have to like it, but you might want to stop insulting the people whose shoulders you’re standing on.
History has receipts, and they’re not signed by billionaires.

Saw on TV this morning that there is a new activity called 'Doom-scrolling' taking over, sound familiar?

We see you Yaxley-Lennon.

Face contorted constantly with hatred and anger because that’s all you have and you infect the gullible fools who tag along because you validate their hatred. Only your hatred is your business model living in a £1 million pound house when those who pay you can’t even afford the rent from one week to the next.

Calling yourself a patriot while living in Spain and travelling on an Irish passport. Asking for a foreign nation to overthrow our own nation is not the approach of a patriot is it? Nor is siting there like a nodding dog while your Zionist paymasters tell you Britain has a special place in hell, no comeback, no disagreement, just sat there silently nodding in agreement.

Telling everyone you are a journalist when the reality is no decent news outlet would ever employ you in this role. So you call yourself a “citizen journalist” just like the rest of the YouTube so called auditors who shove cameras in peoples faces hoping to get a reaction for social media.

Proclaiming yourself “the protector of women and children” but doing nothing about the hundreds of child abusers, rapists et al in your ranks whilst leading the EDL. Refusing to clean house and kick them out instead protecting them so as to swell your ranks.

Trying to take credit for supposedly exposing the Rochdale grooming gangs taking all the glory just to make yet another grift from the susceptible. In reality those who know it was down to a nurse called Sara Rowbotham who was a sexual health specialist who collected evidence to help the prosecution. DC Margret Oliver who resigned from her role in the GMP because she wasn’t happy with the investigation and turned whistleblower to expose it. Taken on by Nazir Afzal head of the north west CPS who risked his career to ensure the prosecution went through and a real journalist Andrew Norfolk who wrote an expose on the whole matter.

What did you do Yaxley-Lennon? You thought it would be OK to try and “interview” defendants leaving the court when there was a news embargo on so the case wouldn’t be prejudiced. That’s what you almost did, mess the whole trail up and lose it for the prosecution and ended up in prison (again) for contempt of court. All because you wanted to beat your chest for something you had nothing to do with.

We see you, wrapping yourself up in the flag so as to hide your racism, shouting your rhetoric so as to hide your fascism, using your faux outrage to expand your bank balance while at the same time picking the pockets of those who believe you to be a “saviour” rather than the charlatan you really are. How many times have you pushed fundraisers for a paycheck, telling others it’s for your legal fees for yet another prosecution before you then plead guilty and pocket the money?

We see you Yaxley-Lennon, we see your attempts to turn everything into an offence even before you have managed to ensure if it’s true or not because you have to act quick to get your next go fund me up. You’re still the same football hooligan from Luton, you’re still the ex con who assaulted a police officer, a fraudster who tried to steal £160,000 in a mortgage scam, you’re just a thug in a suit now, no different from then hiding behind multiple aliases in turn hoping it hides your multiple crimes.

We see you Yaxley-Lennon, we see you bullying a young non-speaking autistic boy for clout because that’s all you are, a bully and we saw how bullies react when pushed by a boxer you only got brave when others got between you.

We see you, one day we hope never to see you or your ilk again and that won’t be a day too soon.

I know Gavin was there as he was his usual self, a bad mannered bully to the media after Trumps ridiculous hour long rant


https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRBvfedo/

There was an exchange in the 1954 witch-hunt of the House Un-American Activities Committee when Senator Joseph McCarthy went a step too far. A lawyer for the other side pounced.

“Until this moment, senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?” he said.
The televised duel was electric and suddenly turned the tables, halting McCarthy’s campaign of lies, manipulation and bullying demagoguery in its tracks.

Donald Trump’s abuses of decency have been hitting America and the world on so many fronts at once that it is hard to keep a clear focus on what he is doing and how dangerous he has become.

Is clarity at last emerging with his demands for the “complete and total control of Greenland”, today by means of economic warfare against eight Nato allies, or tomorrow the “hard way” by means of military attack if resisted?
Donald Trump’s desires to acquire Greenland shows just how dangerous he has become

Has the moment of dysepiphany arrived with Trump’s text message to Norway’s prime minister, complaining that since he did not win the Nobel Peace Prize for “having stopped eight wars plus”, he was now free to take the gloves off?

Can we not all finally see the evidence of a seriously diseased mind?
But perhaps we should treat the outrages of the last two weeks as a single package, starting with the deployment of a US naval armada to steal Venezuela’s oil on the high seas, to sell it on the open market, and then to transfer the first $500m (£370m) to a slush fund in Qatar beyond Congressional oversight.
Let us not pretend that this escapade has anything to do with either democracy or fentanyl.

Trump has shut out the democratic opposition and entered into a cynical joint venture with the Chavista police-state regime, newly headed by a woman deemed a “priority target” by the US Drug Enforcement Agency but now nonchalantly whitewashed as a “terrific person” after she agreed to hand over Venezuela’s oil industry and minerals.

The latest assaults on decency include the attempt to evict Jerome Powell from the US Federal Reserve on bogus criminal charges, patently to debauch monetary policy and pump-prime the economy before the mid-term elections.

They include the unpunished murder of Renee Good, a Presbyterian poet, ex-missionary and civic protester in Minneapolis, and then the shameless attempt to frame her and her family as terrorist extremists – leading to the resignation of six federal prosecutors in Minnesota, disgusted at such political abuse of the judicial apparatus.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) has become Trump’s personal paramilitary force and secret police in all but name – not so different from the Nazi Sturmabteilung in the first year of Hitler’s reign – with a budget second only to the Pentagon.
It is now invading American cities with the clear purpose of provoking civil unrest and justifying recourse to the Insurrection Act, a precursor to suspending future elections if need be.

Ice is invading US cities with the clear purpose of provoking civil unrest

There must be a high risk that Trump will escalate further across all fronts, and many other fronts that I have not even mentioned. Will he order the destruction of every solar panel and wind turbine in America, peeved that renewables made up 91pc of extra power added in the US last year?

Neuropsychologist Ian Robertson says Trump has succumbed to “power addiction”. It is a disorder that works through the same dopamine reward circuits as drug addiction, requiring ever greater doses, and leading to hyperactive rage when thwarted.

If US democracy were still functioning properly, it would be time to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump for insanity, before he completely smashes both America’s institutions and what is left of Pax Americana abroad (still worth saving).

But that requires a high-minded vice-president, cabinet and majority party in Congress. So far, they have been complicit or too frightened to act. JD Vance, the vice-president, came close to stating that the point-blank triple shooting of Renee Good was OK because she was a “deranged Leftist”.

How does one become a fascist? Slowly, then suddenly, to borrow from Hemingway.
China can take care of itself and profit from this unfolding disgrace. It has the weaponised deterrent of critical minerals. Trump’s capitulation has been total: China has won access to advanced H200 Invidia chips needed for artificial intelligence, and won a green light to take Taiwan – “it’s up to Xi”, said Trump.

Europe and much of the world are not so well prepared. They are close to defenceless.
The only constraint on Trump Unleashed is the global bond market. If you have a structural fiscal deficit of 6-7pc of GDP, a savings rate near zero and a reliance on the goodwill of foreigners to fund an explosive increase in debt issuance, you might wish to treat global creditors with a little care.

The US treasury sold $654bn of federal debt over the four days from Jan 12-15, about the same in one week as the annual GDP of Argentina or the United Arab Emirates.
It did not go well. The market yields on long-term bonds are refusing to come down as the Fed cuts rates, and it is the long end that sets the borrowing cost for mortgage debt, car loans, student loans and corporate debt securities.

The yield spread between three-month Treasury bills and 10-year bonds has widened by some 0.6 percentage points since early November. “The Fed may want lower interest rates, but the market ain’t buying it,” said Willian Adler, an Elliott Wave technical analyst.
He warns that the conditions are in place for a serious sell-off across risk assets. It could be similar to the bond rout that spooked Trump after the “liberation day” tariffs.

This rising spread may simply reflect fears of resurgent inflation as front-loaded stimulus from the “one big beautiful bill” juices the economy over the coming months, with the risk of full-blown overheating if Trump hands out $2,000 a head as a pre-electoral bribe.
But it may also be the first sign that America is starting to pay a price for the collapse of political credibility.

The US treasury had to sell $30tn of federal debt last year, either in the form of rollovers on old debt or in new issuance.
This is 100pc of GDP or five times the normal “danger line” monitored by rating agencies. The comparable figure is 31pc for Japan, 19pc for France, 16pc for Italy and 10pc for the UK – the latter reflecting the uniquely long maturity of gilts.

Yes, the role of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency distorts the picture. Companies and funds all over the world use US Treasury bills as quasi-cash, a liquid safe asset for parking money.

Which makes you wonder what would happen if they started to use digital tokens linked to gold or a basket of commodities and global currencies as alternatives.
Scott Bessent, the treasury secretary, is disguising the fragility of the bond market with “activist treasury issuance”.

He is raising money through short-term bills to take the strain off long bonds, lifting the share of bills to 40-50pc of the monthly issuance, against the advice of the treasury watchdog that it should not exceed 20pc.
Michael Gray, from Gray Capital Management, says this is a perilous game. The longer it goes on, the greater the accumulating rollover risk. He has accused Bessent of running the treasury like a hedge fund.

The way to hold Trump’s feet to the fire is for the whole world – Europe, China, Japan, Brazil, central banks, sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, insurance companies and banks – to sit out the next auction by the US treasury and see how easy it is for US domestic capital markets to cover debt sales running at $2.5tn a month.

Impossible to coordinate? Yes, of course. But it is time to start floating such ideas in public. The only language Trump understands is money, so let us cut off his global credit card.

A Humberside Police officer has spoken of his disgust after being the victim of 21 hate crimes and racially aggravated assaults in the past three years.

PC Mourad Karaouani was at one point the number one victim of hate crime in the entire East Riding area.

He is speaking out now to support Humberside Police Federation’s campaign, Protect The Protectors: Stop Racism Against Police.

Mourad, who joined the force after working as a firefighter for five years, is based in Bridlington, an area of low racial diversity.

He said: “As soon as I started going to jobs, there were hate incidents every week. Even in the jobs that I wasn’t directly involved in, if I’d been called as backup, people would turn their hate towards me. Sometimes the suspect would say: ‘I have no issue being arrested. I've admitted what I've done is wrong. However, I don't want him to touch me.’

“As a new officer, I was thinking, is it something I do that makes people hate me? Is it the way I speak to people? I’d go back to my station, put my body-worn video on and watch the way I interacted with people. It made me doubt myself.

“It was happening so often that it was reviewed by supervisors, and it was established that there was definitely nothing that I was saying that was instigating that kind of hate, it was just because of my skin colour.

“After a couple of months, I was surprised when a colleague from the neighbourhood team said: ‘Today in the briefing, we were told you are number one in East Riding for being a victim of hate crime’. I said: ‘Really?’, and he said: ‘Yeah, we literally had your picture in our briefing.’ He then reassured me that his team would attend as quickly as possible if they heard of any disturbances.”

Mourad was asked if he would like to change stations and go to a more multicultural city, such as Hull.

But Mourad decided not to move. He explained: “I like my team here, and if I go somewhere else just because it's easier for me, what about other officers? What about other people that come to Bridlington to live, and who are from different minorities or have a different skin colour? Why do I have to move somewhere else to avoid those kinds of incidents? In fact, those people need to change their mindset.”

But in May 2024, there was a particularly troubling incident. Mourad was on night shift when he tried to break up a fight between two men outside a Bridlington nightclub. He recalled: “One of them just launched at me, grabbed my body-worn video, and tried to take off my hi vis, saying, ‘Do not record me’, and then started giving me a lot of abuse, shouting and swearing.

“I got him down to the floor, arrested him, and while I was on my knees handcuffing the man, I got assaulted. Somebody came from behind, hit me in the face and smashed my glasses. It was his partner. She was shouting and screaming in my face, calling me all the words you can imagine, the P-word, the C-word, the N-word, all of it.”

Backup officers arrived at the scene and, shockingly, Mourad’s body-worn video shows the woman telling them she wouldn’t attack them because they were white.

Thankfully, Mourad says these kinds of assaults have become rarer. He said: “I still experience those incidents; there was one at the beginning of December. But it is nowhere near as bad as it used to be. I believe that is because I had a lot of support from my teammates and my supervisor and we got robust about it.

“Whenever there is any kind of situation like that, we'll deal with it positively, and we arrest for it, if there is grounds. Bridlington is a small town, so people see that there are consequences for their actions.”

Mourad appreciates the fact that his colleagues look out for him. He said: “It’s little things like when the control room calls me and says: ‘Can you attend this emergency? It's a fight in progress now’, my colleagues will shout to say, ‘We're attending as well, to assess’. Those colleagues have their own workloads, but they leave all that and go to that live job, which is potentially going to give them more work to do.

“Sergeants will also leave the station and come to assist when they hear there’s been a hate incident towards me. You don't want to be a victim, you don't want to be weak, you don't want to feel like you're getting some advantage over other colleagues. But I like to think we are all similar, we are all trying to look after each other.”

As part of its anti-racism campaign, Humberside Police Federation carried out a survey and found that over 50% of minority ethnic officers and staff had experienced racial abuse while on duty. However, some had not reported it as they didn’t want to be seen as difficult, or they didn’t believe it would be taken seriously.

Mourad agreed there have been times when he hasn’t reported every instance of verbal abuse. But he still thinks it’s important to report hate crimes, saying: “If I'm a police officer in uniform, having to go through this, what would it be like for a member of the public? It could be a refugee, it could be a person who doesn't speak the language. So to me, it is my duty to actually stay here and report it.”

Mourad hopes the Federation’s anti-racism campaign will raise awareness of what is happening to many minority ethnic police officers.

He said: “People need to know that these kinds of incidents are real, they do happen, and there are some people who still have that kind of mentality. Just because you lost your temper or you had an issue, it doesn't give you the right to start insulting people and giving them abuse.”

Humberside Police Federation Chair Lee Sims described Mourad’s experience as ‘disgusting’ and said the officer had the full backing of the Federation.

Lee said: “What Mourad has had to endure in such a short space of time is absolutely disgusting – no police officer should ever be subject to racist abuse while they are carrying out their duty to protect the public.

“Mourad has the full support of Humberside Police Federation, and his experience illustrates exactly why we have started the Protect The Protectors: Stop Racism Against Police campaign.

“One incident is one too many, there is no room for this in society and our colleagues do not come to work to suffer any hate crime. There is simply no excuse for this abuse, and it must stop.

“There is no place for Racism – and this kind of abuse against our colleagues needs the toughest of punishments and deterrents. We all need to stand together.

“Mourad (and any other officer who is a victim of any crime) has the full support of Humberside Police Federation. His experience illustrates exactly why we have started the Protect The Protectors: Stop Racism Against Police campaign.”

The president’s address in Switzerland featured a range of dubious assertions, from exaggerated to false.

Donald Trump’s address at the World Economic Forum in Davos featured a parade of dubious claims about everything from peace deals to windfarms. Several assertions ranged from exaggerated to provably false.

Here’s what Trump got wrong.

"I’ve now been working on this war for one year, during which time I settled eight other wars."
Trump did not go into detail on which wars he was talking about, but he has repeated the claim enough times in his first year back in office that we can assess those we believe he was describing. His administration played a role in brokering ceasefires between Israel and Iran, India and Pakistan, and Armenia and Azerbaijan, though these were incremental agreements, and some leaders dispute the extent of his involvement. He did secure the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage deal, but it involves multiple stages and remains incomplete – with hundreds in Gaza reported killed since the first phase took effect in October.

The temporary peace deal between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo fell apart, with fighting killing hundreds of civilians since it was signed in June. Cambodia and Thailand are still trading accusations over broken ceasefires and border clashes. The Egypt-Ethiopia dispute is about a dam on the Nile – a diplomatic problem, but not a shooting war. As for Kosovo and Serbia, it’s unclear what brewing conflict Trump believes he prevented.

---‐------

"We’re leading the world in AI by a lot. We’re leading China by a lot."
Key figures in the AI industry have assessed the race differently. Nvidia’s chief executive, Jensen Huang, said in September that China was “nanoseconds” behind the US. The White House AI czar, David Sacks, estimated in June that Chinese models lag by “three to six months”.

Chinese companies such as DeepSeek have released cheaper models that rival America’s best, despite restrictions on advanced chips. Trump himself called DeepSeek a “wake-up call” for US tech companies.

"China makes almost all of the windmills, and yet I haven’t been able to find any windfarms in China. Did you ever think of that? It’s a good way of looking. You know, they’re smart. China is very smart. They make them. They sell them for a fortune. They sell them to the stupid people that buy them, but they don’t use them themselves."
This claim is incorrect. China has more wind capacity than any other country and twice as much capacity under construction as the rest of the world combined.

China’s wind generation in 2024 equaled 40% of global wind generation, according to the thinktank Ember Energy. The country is building 180 gigawatts of solar projects and 159 gigawatts of wind projects, which together amount to nearly two-thirds of the renewable capacity coming online worldwide, according to Global Energy Monitor. Rather than avoiding wind power domestically, China is the world’s largest generator of wind energy.

---‐------

"We’re there for Nato 100%. I’m not sure if they’d be there for us."
Nato allies have already demonstrated their willingness to support the US, suffering significant casualties in Afghanistan and Iraq over the past two decades.

In Afghanistan, according to the independent nonprofit tracker icasualties. org, Nato allies sustained 1,144 deaths out of 3,609 total coalition fatalities between 2001 and 2021. The UK lost 455 service members, Canada lost 158, France lost 86, Germany lost 54 and Denmark lost 43. In Iraq, coalition partners sustained 324 deaths out of 4,910 total fatalities, with the UK suffering 182 casualties. These were substantial commitments to American-led military operations.

---‐------

"They called me Daddy."
Nato secretary general Mark Rutte did indeed call Trump “Daddy” at a summit last June. It happened after Trump compared Israel and Iran to “two kids in a schoolyard” fighting, with Rutte quipping that “Daddy has to sometimes use strong language”.

Trump’s use of the plural “they called me” suggests a pattern of Nato leaders breathlessly addressing him this way, which is for now unsupported. Unless, of course, world leaders are calling him Daddy in soon-to-be-leaked private text messages.

---‐------

"After the war, we gave Greenland back to Denmark. How stupid were we to do that? But we did it. But we gave it back. But how ungrateful are they now?"
The US never owned Greenland. In 1916, the secretary of state, Robert Lansing, declared the US “will not object to the Danish government extending their political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland” as part of a deal in which Denmark sold the US Virgin Islands. That’s not ownership.

When Norway tried to claim part of Greenland in 1931, the international court ruled for Denmark in 1933, citing an 1814 treaty showing Denmark retained Greenland when it ceded Norway to Sweden. US-Denmark agreements in 1941 and 1951 allowing American military bases explicitly stated these were “without prejudice to the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark”. At no point did the United States possess sovereignty over Greenland that it could then return to Denmark.

---‐------

"If we were able to cut out 50% of the fraud … we would have a balanced budget without having to talk about even growth."
The math doesn’t work. The highest estimate of US fraud losses is $521bn, according to the Government Accountability Office. Even eliminating all of it – which would be unprecedented – would cover less than a third of the 2025 deficit of about $1.7tn.

Cutting fraud in half, as Trump proposed, would yield roughly $260bn if the highest estimate is the target. That’s less than one-sixth of the deficit, leaving the government more than $1.5tn short of balanced.

We've noticed a bit of a problem in the comments section on some of our posts and we want to address it properly cos it's hard to tell if people are serious or not - It might just be the curse of the bot accounts... but hear me out if you've truly got a problem with this cos i'll argue with you in the comments about it if you like..
Whenever we post about RNLI - Lifeboats - Coastguard...
We seem to be getting comments from "new facebook accounts" who comment things like -
"free room and board while ours freeze"
"They'll be picking migrants up for the metropole"
"Free Taxi for the boat people"
(fully expect to see comments like this below now obviously...)

Do you realise how daft that sounds? The RNLI in Blackpool???
In the North West? The Spanish armada struggled to get here.

The claim that migrant boats are traveling from Calais to Blackpool is physically impossible when you look at the geography. A boat would have to travel 667 miles (ish) around the entire south coast of England and through the dangerous waters of Land's End to reach the Irish Sea. These small inflatables are being built specifically for the short 20-mile crossing of the English Channel and they simply cannot hold the amount of fuel or supplies needed for a journey of this scale.

To reach Blackpool from the French coast a vessel would need to carry roughly 1,000 litres of fuel which weighs nearly a ton. An overloaded dinghy would sink under that weight before it even left the harbor

We just feel the need to put this information out there in case there are any people reading the comments thinking - oh yeah there are really dinghies landing at blackpool and the RNLI are helping them in under cover of darkness... That's not true at all... The RNLI at Blackpool are in no way connected to any migrant boat crossings.

If someone / anyone did make it from france to Blackpool in one straight run on a dinghy - We would put them up in a hotel for a couple of nights ourselves. Anyone would deserve that after 60 hours at sea...
The RNLI around the UK are HEROES and would turn out at midnight to a flip flop in the water if someone called them and reported it as a kid. I hope they continue to turn out to EVERY job they're called to and I truly hope people around the UK continue to support them in all aspects of their work.
They respond to lives at risk at sea. No conditions attached.
Please donate to the RNLI if you can.

The Blue Light Card offers exclusive discounts for teachers and early years educators, which may include meals.

The Discounts for Teachers scheme provides various discounts for educators, including food-related offers.

To access these discounts, you may need to provide proof of employment, such as your work email address or school name.
