    To be honest, after watching the factual series called ‘Hometown’ on BBC I player, where a journalist returns to his hometown of Huddersfield to investigate a police shooting and sees how violent and riddled with gun and knife crime the area is....I’m not not so sure it’s a mainly London problem.....

  8. I thought she was excellent - the only politician in a while who's appealed to the softer elements of leave and remain. And yes I would <whistle>

    Those were the days
    Good old Blighty Pioneers in the modern world? Hope in reflection you will see we sold out almost everything and became a very lazy self obsessed nation that has remained increasingly hungry and arrogant .

    Eaten and destroyed our own culture and now we want those good old days back all this without a plan and all of this with the massive support of the EU

    Instead of blaming others for our downfall I believe we should of led the EU but somehow we decided to blame others for our generation cock up

    Let’s hope in the now that we can somehow recover and that comes from an open minded pro European who at least is qualified to live and witness both lifestyles on all levels

    Yawn

    Nope.
    It's just you that sees things that way, through your anti-British tunnel vision.

    Yawn.

    Remarkable hatchet job on Corbyn in the Times today. Claim (in the news rather than the opinion section, not that this means anything in modern journalism) that not only is he a puppet of his inner circle, incapable of making a decision himself, but also his physical and mental health is failing, memory up **** creek, possibly had a small stroke. Speculation that he will stand down at the party conference and nominate Rebecca Long Bailey as his successor.

    Might be true, but also highly likely that Conservative Central Office has given Murdoch a ring and told him to start slinging the **** in expectation of an election in the very near future.

    Meanwhile a poll states that a majority of Tory party voters, as opposed to Tory party members, think that Hunt would make a better PM than Johnson.

    I believe the YouGov poll was actually of the public. It included Labour and Lib Dem voters who preferred Hunt, which makes it less relevant imo.

    In the Times (not that that means much) it was very specifically Tory party voters, 61% thought Hunt would be a good PM, 55% Johnson. But when asked who they preferred, 48% said Johnson and 39% Hunt.

    From which we can conclude that Tory voters who respond to YouGov polls have issues.

    Of course the preference is probably linked to the subliminal question ‘who is most likely to deliver a fast, no deal Brexit?’ which previous polls have indicated a lot of Tory supporters and a big majority of Tory members want. It’s interesting that neither candidate actually wants No Deal, they think it is a negotiating tool.

    Shocking videos going around of peaceful protesters being sprayed with tear gas by the CRS while sitting down. No wonder they (the police) are hated over there and are faced with riots in a weekly basis
    What a police state that country is becoming.......shame on them and their supporters

    Where, France?

    I’m amazed that anyone could be protesting in that heat. I was working in Amsterdam this week and on one day it was 33C, plenty hot enough for me. In France it’s over 40C, very dangerous to be active in.

    As an aside Stainsey, in the course of your work have you ever had to administer glucagon to someone with severe hypoglycaemia?

    Yeah in France mate, ****ing shocking.

    With regards to Glucagon, we have it but try to use it as a real last resort. If the hypo is severe, much better to go straight in IV with glucose as using the Glucagon just realises the stores of Glucose in the liver and takes a long time to replenish.
    Obviously not trained to do IV so if I was with an EAC instead of a Paramedic, then I’d have to go with the Glucagon.....it’s easy to administer.
    Why you ask ?
