Very pleased to see that the government has listened to reason and scrapped their crazy scheme for mandatory ID cards. This is a welcome development.
Maybe the strong opposition to it had an effect after all. Just goes to show that it's worth speaking up, signing petitions, writing to MPs, and all that kind of thing.

Can anyone recommend a good alternative to TripIt for keeping track of travel plans?
I've been very happy with TripIt and found it invaluable when travelling, but sadly they've withdrawn the version of the Android app that works with my phone.

CW: Israel-Gaza war, UK politics
Well that's nice, but while they're still selling arms to Israel, it's just empty words.
Talk is cheap.

Well yes, it is an ambitious target, but not ambitious enough.
Even if we stick to it, and even if other countries do the same, it still means we'll continue to pump more CO2 into the atmosphere for at least another 11 years.
Look at what's happening with the climate this year, and just imagine what it will be like with another 11 years of warming.
We need to act faster.

I think they took that "everything for £1" thing a bit too literally

It's such a shame that they stopped amending the US constitution after 24 amendments.
They could really do with a 25th amendment about now.

Thinking of the bank holiday next week, it has often been observed here in the UK that it's a long time to go between bank holidays between late August and Christmas, and that we really need one on October as well to fill the gap.
But what to celebrate?
Well, consider this. I have just learned that "World Pasta Day" is on 25 October. Exactly half way between the August bank holiday and Christmas! How amazing is that?
Let's make this happen!

This is a huge mark of shame for the UK.
There is absolutely no reason why one of the world's richest countries shouldn't be able to keep measles at bay.
The causes are no doubt complex, but this really should be a solvable problem for a rich country with the political will to solve it.

"“I think the public will be frustrated, bordering on angry, now with the prime minister for letting this drag on for so long,” the Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer, said on Friday after talks between the junior doctors’ union and the government broke down again."
Starmer is going to be so mad when he finds out who the prime minister is now.

According to this article, over 98% of GP surgeries in England now offer online booking for GP appointments.
Mine doesn't. I'm curious to know if I'm just in the unlucky 2%, or if that 98% figure is bogus.
So, question for people in England only, does your GP practice offer online appointment booking?

"There were more than 200,000 A&E attendances in England from November to February for conditions that could have been dealt with elsewhere, according to NHS England.
This represents more than 2% of all attendances during that four-month period, taking up vital resources at under-pressure A&Es, health bosses said."
Gosh, framing is everything isn't it?
Funny they didn't write "Almost 98% of patients attending A&E genuinely needed to be there."

"Hospitals facing unprecedented flu season, say NHS bosses"
But tell me again how the NHS can't afford to give flu vaccines to people under 65?
-
"Patients clogging A&E with hiccups, sore throats and other niggles"
Yes, that's what will happen if it's impossible to get a GP appointment.
Maybe the government should fund general practice properly rather than blaming patients?
-
I see the NHS are making 18,000 staff redundant.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I didn't think that the main problem with the NHS was that it was over--resourced.
The idea that "it's fine, they're not front-line staff" is obvious nonsense. What if the stuff they were doing now has to be done by front-line staff?

"Starmer says that Britain has shied away from the topic of illegal immigration."
WTAF, Starmer? You've talked of very little else other than illegal immigration ever since you became PM.
Just imagine what you could have achieved if you'd put all that energy into fixing the NHS instead.

I know I've said it before, but I think it bears repeating: we could all reliably get same day GP appointments and see hospital consultants within a week by now if the government had put half as much energy into fixing the NHS as they spend being mean to foreigners

Just imagine how awesome the NHS would be by now if the Labour government put about half as much energy into fixing it as they're putting into appeasing the far right with their immigration policies

Just in case you didn't watch the lunchtime news on the BBC today, and were wondering what their take on the doctors' strike is, I can tell you it is that the government are doing their best and being very reasonable but the evil doctors are being horribly irresponsible and putting patients in harm's way.

Logging onto the Patient Access website this morning (which I use to interact with my GP surgery), and what fresh hell is this?
Is it "trusted healthcare information", or is it an ad? Because I really struggle to believe it could be both of those at the same time.

So the government decided to restrict who can get free flu vaccines on the NHS, and now we have a monster flu season overwhelming the NHS and hospitals declaring critical incidents all over the place.
I believe that's what's known as #FAFO

And I find this bit troubling.
You know who's going to request them? The healthy middle classes, that's who.

Nice idea.
I just hope they have a plan for where they are going to find all the extra clinicians they're going to need for all those extra appointments.

This really doesn't look good for Starmer.
Hard to see him staying as PM for much longer after Labour get utterly rogered in the May local elections and Labour MPs figure out just how much their jobs are on the line if Starmer stays in post.

The Coast to Coast walk is definitely on my to-do list, so very pleased to see it's had an upgrade.

I recently cancelled my Discovery+ subscription after they increased their monthly subscription fee from £6.99 to £30.99 (yes, you read that right).
They have sent me an email me asking me to fill in a survey to let them know why I cancelled.
But the link to the survey didn't work.
Oh no! How are they ever going to figure out why people are cancelling their subscriptions now! I guess it will forever have to remain a mystery to them.
