Clap for ther NHS maybe true, I used to know a nurse at Lister, Stevenage, many years ago, and judging by the regular bacchanalian orgies taking place in the nursing flats, I suspect they have plenty of clap and various other interesting viruses

Zeph, I worked there too, and you ain’t wrong. Something else that is not publicised either, – the number of nurses who do their weekly shift for the NHS, then go off and work at the Priory (rehab private mental hospital in London) at the weekends thus supplementing their income by an astronomical amount. In fact, there are lots of under stories about the NHS that the public are not aware of.
Do you remenber Fairfield ? a living nightmare for the residents, now a housing estate my “friend” worked there too, the first time I became aware of LSD, cocaine and whatever they could take out of the medecine cabinet, mostly morphine related stuff.
Of course in reality Fairfield was very different. Originally built on a 253 acre site in 1859 – 1860 it started life as Three Counties asylum serving Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Huntingdonshire. In those un-politically correct days all the lunatics, delusionals, psychotics and anyone else who was thought deserving of incarceration, was sent there.
BY our standards, treatments of mental illness weren’t very sophisticated in mid-Victorian times. The powers that be thought regular doses of fresh air, a good diet and daily chores were enough to cure even the most committed (no pun intended) lunatic.
By 1930 an act of parliament changed the word asylum to hospital. Employees were given better pay and working conditions and care in the mental health system generally, was improving all the time. Three Counties hospital as it was now called was well integrated in the community. It had a good football and cricket team, a bowls club and offered various social activities that were open to the public, including the famous galas attended latterly by celebrities like Pat Phoenix who played Elsie Tanner in Corrie and Bill Roach who still plays Ken Barlow. There was even a radio show called Workers Playtime broadcast from there.
In 1960 it was renamed Fairfield hospital. It was during this time that one of the chaplains the reverend John Arthur Monk made national news when he married a girl forty years his junior. They were the three counties equivalent of Anna Nicole Smith and J Howard Marshall II!
The hospital was finally closed in 1999 and is now being developed for housing. Fortunately the main buildings are Grade II listed and the façade has been sympathetically restored and turned into luxury flats and now that I’m a father the threat of dispatching my offspring to Fairfield’s has completely lost its impact.

All I will say is this. All the nurses I know who worked there before transferring to the Lister, said no way would they buy an apartment in the main Fairfield building, with the horrors the walls have seen. Enough said.
Fair enough I suppose,and I agree, which is why I did not say the clap is viral :
plenty of clap and various other interesting viruses

Anybody watch GB News, Dan Wooton, last night where the guest was Richard Tice and the subject was about the Parties on the right merging.
I didn’t (went to bed) but if anyone did could you possibly give an idea of how it went as I think a merge would be an excellent idea.
Reform, ukip, Britain first and any other of the Patriotic Parties should unite and they will be a real threat to the usual choice of voting for one party because the other is even worse.
Yes I watched it

Political … Even by Formula 1’s dramatic standards, the recent Hungarian Grand Prix was a thriller – yet an image captured before it began may prove its biggest legacy.
The race seemed to have everything, from a shock first win for Esteban Ocon to the surreal sight of Lewis Hamilton lining up alone at the start.
There was another moment that made headlines around the world, though.
During the pre-race national anthem ceremony, Sebastian Vettel sported a Pride shirt in protest against anti-LGBTQ+ legislation brought in by Hungary’s government.
‘We can weigh the risks and benefits’
Shani Walker, from Dumfries and Galloway, said her children were “adamant that as soon as they can have a vaccination they would definitely want to”.
‘He’s being jabbed to protect others’
Kevin, from Hampshire, said his child, who is nearly 16, has decided that he wants to be vaccinated and “as parents we accept his decision”.
‘Too big a risk’
But Susan from Bury said she was unwilling for her son to be vaccinated at the moment, pointing to the risk of myocarditis – an inflammation of the heart – in boys.
Susan added that she worried about vaccinations happening at school and how children will feel when some are having the jab and others are not.
I do worry about it happening in schools and how the children will feel if they are not having the jab while others are lining up to have it.
“I don’t think school is the best place to have it.”

Boris Johnson’s Guarantee
We will get Brexit done in January and unleash the potential of our whole country.
I guarantee:
Extra funding for the NHS, with 50,000 more nurses and 50 million more GP surgery appointments a year.
20,000 more police and tougher sentencing for criminals.
An Australian-style points-based system to control immigration.
Millions more invested every week in science, schools, apprenticeships and infrastructure while controlling debt.
Reaching Net Zero by 2050 with investment in clean energy solutions and green infrastructure to reduce carbon emissions and pollution.
We will not raise the rate of income tax, VAT or National Insurance.
Thank you for supporting our majority Conservative Government so we can move our great country on instead of going backwards.
BBC Parliament – MP say’s tomoatoes being thrown away in UK .. oh wait …
A farmer in #Kolar #Karnataka was seen throwing his tomato produce on the road side as he was not getting proper price for his produce. They are getting Rs. 2 for 15 kilos. Farmers say they are under huge loss as it does not even cover the transport cost.
Heartbreaking when farmers have to do this. Before someone pipes back with the wasted food argument remember no farmer would ever throw away produce they worked on for months. At this point, they can’t even afford to pay for transport of the tomatoes #farmershttps://t.co/sU6d8cXsuS

They are dim bulbs, this ‘Insulate’ group. Not only are they increasing CO2 emissions!, they appear to have used Diane’s abotocus to calculate how many homes there are in the UK and didn’t realise when it gave them a wrong number. According to TWatO they think there are 29 million homes in the UK needing insulation!
There soon will be 29,000,000 homes if we don’t control immigration but many are new builds or soon will be. There’s no point in adding insulation to modern well insulated house; it is a waste of transport CO2. In addition, many homes cannot have ‘insulation’ because of Listing restrictions.
Maybe this ‘Insulate’ group should be protesting on a Kent beach or lobbying English Heritage and its equivalents in rUK?
Harrabin of the BBC and Monbiot of the Guardian are basically what used to be called “Fifth Columists” They work outside the official stance of their employers to undermine the perceived “enemy” in this case the current UK Government.
TWatO Watch #1 – Why don’t the BBC change their name to the Labour Party?
Oh, it has been taken. Well, why not change the name BBC to ‘Oppose the Government’? Oh, that would mean they would have to change it if the Conservatives lose the next General Election. Name changes cost money and that would mean less money for the D-G, BBC Executives, Presenters and so-called ‘talent’.
Perhaps the BBC should just change their name once, to a famous expletive uttered by Jane Horrocks in Mike Leigh’s film ‘Life is Sweet’.
NEW – Biden to deliver remarks about a "national security initiative” at 5pm ET, the White House announced last night, apparently affecting Australia, the United Kingdom, and potentially more countries. pic.twitter.com/02QuYyR8y5
Bob Woodward (of Watergate fame) has written a new book about the deepstate, and the military relationship with General Milley and President Trump.
Please remember that Woodward is an extreme liberal CNN type and his scribblings really do need evidential authentication before anyone believes a word they contain.
Please cast your minds back to the two pieces I wrote that the US departments of state no longer believe themselves accountable to those people in power.
No doubt the far left MSM will be using Woodwards reputation to give credibility to some of the wilder claims he makes however you should know this.
General Milley a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff all the time Trump was in office and possibly Obama too was talking to the Chinese Communist party and promising them that if the US planned an attack on them he would let them know in advance.
He also told them to ignore any order given by the President to launch nuclear missles.
Someone in the White House at the time of Trump heard him say that if the West pulled out the Afghan army would last a couple of days at most, and then told Biden that it would last weeks if not longer.
He was in direct chain of command for what he called a “righteous drone strike” which killed an aid worker carrying bottles of water along with 7 children.
This will be played to you in the left wing mainstream media as a heroic man trying to defend humanity from a derranged lunatic in the White House, it is no such thing. It is – if true, the actions of a traitor, colluding and ao-operating with the enemy and defying the civilian elected leaders of the country.
“If this is true GEN Milley must resign. He usurped civilian authority, broke Chain of Command, and violated the sacrosanct principle of civilian control over the military,” Vindman tweeted on Tuesday. “It’s an extremely dangerous precedent. You can’t simply walk away from that.”
This is a major major story which hasn’t really broken here yet, expect it to do so soon and expect them to use it to attack Donald Trump and to defend the Treacherous General Milley.

Inflation is 32 times the Bank of England base rate.
It appears they are not worried about inflation, a seriously aggressive self perpetuating condition which makes everything cost more and more and your savings worth less and less.
In the olden days the B of E would have put interest rates up to try and control inflation but instead they just keep on printing £billions.
It will not end well if they just sit there twiddling their thumbs although I suspect many of them will gain when inflation soars and their assets shoot up in value as the £ plummets.
Many of the super rich have had a good covid, it’s inflation next for them to manipulate and increase their wealth.
Oh, and don’t be surprised if inflation jumps next month and the government decides that’s too much of a rise for the pensioners so they renege on the second part of the triple lock promise.
Maybe they’ll go for the hat trick and declare 2.5% is unaffordable as well and too much for any pensioners left who have survived the Chinese flu.
Emmanuel, in the really olden days the Chancellor would have put up interest rates and had to explain why to the First Lord of the Treasury (ie. the PM), the Cabinet and the House. Nowadays responsibility has been offloaded to third parties. Same with devolution. Same with Mayors. Same with all different bosses for bits of NHS. Same with all different parts of railways but at least ot looks like the rail system is coming back together as a whole.

So the BBC have stuck two fingers up at the Government and the public by appointing Brammer. Tim Davie is either completely ineffectual or just as bad as the rest of the BBC management. But I suspect that reforming the BBC is actually impossible with its current funding arrangements , they just don’t need to give a fig about what the public or government think , their money is safe. The government is scared of taking them on even though it would be a way for Boris to regain the trust of millions of those who voted for the Tories.
But what of the public who are forced to pay the License Fee? A well publicised and coordinated campaign to refuse to pay the LF would have widespread support and soon gather momentum. I’m sure that there must be several million who would refuse to pay if only they could be organised and the BBC would be unable to do anything about it.
A good dose of civil disobedience directed at the BBC might also persuade Boris et al that going Woke is a powerful vote loser amongst the Tory constituency and those who are Woke will never vote Tory . No matter how pink this government becomes it will never be red enough forthe Woke brigade.

Here is something very odd here. The WAshington Post is as Woke as it is possible to be. General Milley is also a Woke extremist . Both are virulently anti Trump. So why has the WP published this story which must trash Milley and add even more fuel to the view that Trump was illegally removed from office by a high ranking cabal of conspirators?
Possibly the Woke now believe that they are invulnerable and simply cannot be removed from power so it doesn’t matter if they push a few million more Americans into supporting Trump . But that doesn’t explain why they have thrown such a loyal and useful Wokist as the General under the bus! There is something fishy here.

For someone growing up in Bedfordshire or Hertfordshire in the 60’s, 70’s or 80’s, Fairfield’s was shrouded in fear and mystery where unspeakable horrors were bestowed on the poor unfortunates that were sent there. The thought of it alone was enough to transform the most mischievous seven year old into a little angel in the blink of an eye.

An Infirmary Ward at Fairfield’s
Of course in reality Fairfield was very different. Originally built on a 253 acre site in 1859 – 1860 it started life as Three Counties asylum serving Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Huntingdonshire. In those un-politically correct days all the lunatics, delusionals, psychotics and anyone else who was thought deserving of incarceration, was sent there.
BY our standards, treatments of mental illness weren’t very sophisticated in mid-Victorian times. The powers that be thought regular doses of fresh air, a good diet and daily chores were enough to cure even the most committed (no pun intended) lunatic.
But it was the First World War that was mainly responsible for changes in the way patients were treated. The number of soldiers suffering shell shock was so high that a cure had to be found quickly. Some of the 80,000 victims were put into private institutions, disused spas and county lunatic asylums of which Fairfield was one. Cures were many and varied and included electric shock therapy and psychotherapy.

Student nurse and patient
By 1930 an act of parliament changed the word asylum to hospital. Employees were given better pay and working conditions and care in the mental health system generally, was improving all the time. Three Counties hospital as it was now called was well integrated in the community. It had a good football and cricket team, a bowls club and offered various social activities that were open to the public, including the famous galas attended latterly by celebrities like Pat Phoenix who played Elsie Tanner in Corrie and Bill Roach who still plays Ken Barlow. There was even a radio show called Workers Playtime broadcast from there.
In 1960 it was renamed Fairfield hospital. It was during this time that one of the chaplains the reverend John Arthur Monk made national news when he married a girl forty years his junior. They were the three counties equivalent of Anna Nicole Smith and J Howard Marshall II!
The hospital was finally closed in 1999 and is now being developed for housing. Fortunately the main buildings are Grade II listed and the façade has been sympathetically restored and turned into luxury flats and now that I’m a father the threat of dispatching my offspring to Fairfield’s has completely lost its impact.

All I will say is this. All the nurses I know who worked there before transferring to the Lister, said no way would they buy an apartment in the main Fairfield building, with the horrors the walls have seen. Enough said.

I didn’t (went to bed) but if anyone did could you possibly give an idea of how it went as I think a merge would be an excellent idea.
Reform, ukip, Britain first and any other of the Patriotic Parties should unite and they will be a real threat to the usual choice of voting for one party because the other is even worse.

In the story they refer to the Taliban co-founder as “MR” Baradar no less than eight times, however they refer to the evil blonde USA man as simply “Donald Trump” just once.
A small but very, very revealing illustrations of their twisted biased mindset.
They have more reverence for a blood-thirsty heathen mass-murderer than the former patriotic president of the USA.

Political … Even by Formula 1’s dramatic standards, the recent Hungarian Grand Prix was a thriller – yet an image captured before it began may prove its biggest legacy.
The race seemed to have everything, from a shock first win for Esteban Ocon to the surreal sight of Lewis Hamilton lining up alone at the start.
There was another moment that made headlines around the world, though.
During the pre-race national anthem ceremony, Sebastian Vettel sported a Pride shirt in protest against anti-LGBTQ+ legislation brought in by Hungary’s government.

‘We can weigh the risks and benefits’
Shani Walker, from Dumfries and Galloway, said her children were “adamant that as soon as they can have a vaccination they would definitely want to”.
‘He’s being jabbed to protect others’
Kevin, from Hampshire, said his child, who is nearly 16, has decided that he wants to be vaccinated and “as parents we accept his decision”.
‘Too big a risk’
But Susan from Bury said she was unwilling for her son to be vaccinated at the moment, pointing to the risk of myocarditis – an inflammation of the heart – in boys.
Susan added that she worried about vaccinations happening at school and how children will feel when some are having the jab and others are not.
I do worry about it happening in schools and how the children will feel if they are not having the jab while others are lining up to have it.
“I don’t think school is the best place to have it.”

An Australian-style points-based system to control immigration.
Millions more invested every week in science, schools, apprenticeships and infrastructure while controlling debt.
Reaching Net Zero by 2050 with investment in clean energy solutions and green infrastructure to reduce carbon emissions and pollution.
We will not raise the rate of income tax, VAT or National Insurance.

Good post, Stew.
They are dim bulbs, this ‘Insulate’ group. Not only are they increasing CO2 emissions!, they appear to have used Diane’s abotocus to calculate how many homes there are in the UK and didn’t realise when it gave them a wrong number. According to TWatO they think there are 29 million homes in the UK needing insulation!
There soon will be 29,000,000 homes if we don’t control immigration but many are new builds or soon will be. There’s no point in adding insulation to modern well insulated house; it is a waste of transport CO2. In addition, many homes cannot have ‘insulation’ because of Listing restrictions.
Maybe this ‘Insulate’ group should be protesting on a Kent beach or lobbying English Heritage and its equivalents in rUK?
Complete wasters.

Name changes cost money and that would mean less money for the D-G, BBC Executives, Presenters and so-called ‘talent’.
Perhaps the BBC should just change their name once, to a famous expletive uttered by Jane Horrocks in Mike Leigh’s film ‘Life is Sweet’.

Bob Woodward (of Watergate fame) has written a new book about the deepstate, and the military relationship with General Milley and President Trump.
Please remember that Woodward is an extreme liberal CNN type and his scribblings really do need evidential authentication before anyone believes a word they contain.
Please cast your minds back to the two pieces I wrote that the US departments of state no longer believe themselves accountable to those people in power.
No doubt the far left MSM will be using Woodwards reputation to give credibility to some of the wilder claims he makes however you should know this.
General Milley a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff all the time Trump was in office and possibly Obama too was talking to the Chinese Communist party and promising them that if the US planned an attack on them he would let them know in advance.
He also told them to ignore any order given by the President to launch nuclear missles.
Someone in the White House at the time of Trump heard him say that if the West pulled out the Afghan army would last a couple of days at most, and then told Biden that it would last weeks if not longer.
He was in direct chain of command for what he called a “righteous drone strike” which killed an aid worker carrying bottles of water along with 7 children.
https://thehill.com/policy/defense/570402-top-general-acknowledges-others-killed-in-drone-strike-targeting-isis-car-bomb
This will be played to you in the left wing mainstream media as a heroic man trying to defend humanity from a derranged lunatic in the White House, it is no such thing. It is – if true, the actions of a traitor, colluding and ao-operating with the enemy and defying the civilian elected leaders of the country.
There are calls for General Milley to be sacked
https://thehill.com/policy/defense/572330-vindman-calls-for-milleys-resignation-he-usurped-civilian-authority
“If this is true GEN Milley must resign. He usurped civilian authority, broke Chain of Command, and violated the sacrosanct principle of civilian control over the military,” Vindman tweeted on Tuesday. “It’s an extremely dangerous precedent. You can’t simply walk away from that.”

For some reason that escapes me the BBC have obviously decided not to report at all on the ongoing trial of the Muslims who attacked Paris and murdered 130 people. However the latest accused in the dock has said that it was “nothing personal against the victims”.
So maybe that makes it all OK and not newsworthy to the BBC then?

Big anti-lockdown protests planned in Melbourne this weekend.
Seemingly nothing on BBC.
The Daily Mail covering it, but naturally taking the authorities side.
Even using the military word storming.
“Dan Andrews will ban ALL public transport for six hours this weekend and hand out $5,500 fines to stop anti-lockdown protesters from storming Melbourne”

I decided to stop using Specsavers after they pulled out of advertising on GB News. There’s a Vision Express in the same shopping centre, didn’t have any idea what their politics were, as it should be, and thought I’d give them a go. A few weeks ago I had a look at their website and saw that Lineker was doing this with them.
I’ve got an appointment with Boots next week.

Inflation is 32 times the Bank of England base rate.
It appears they are not worried about inflation, a seriously aggressive self perpetuating condition which makes everything cost more and more and your savings worth less and less.
In the olden days the B of E would have put interest rates up to try and control inflation but instead they just keep on printing £billions.
It will not end well if they just sit there twiddling their thumbs although I suspect many of them will gain when inflation soars and their assets shoot up in value as the £ plummets.
Many of the super rich have had a good covid, it’s inflation next for them to manipulate and increase their wealth.
Oh, and don’t be surprised if inflation jumps next month and the government decides that’s too much of a rise for the pensioners so they renege on the second part of the triple lock promise.
Maybe they’ll go for the hat trick and declare 2.5% is unaffordable as well and too much for any pensioners left who have survived the Chinese flu.

Given the rate of government borrowing, interest rates can never return to normal. You cannot taper a Ponzi scheme.

Emmanuel, in the really olden days the Chancellor would have put up interest rates and had to explain why to the First Lord of the Treasury (ie. the PM), the Cabinet and the House. Nowadays responsibility has been offloaded to third parties. Same with devolution. Same with Mayors. Same with all different bosses for bits of NHS. Same with all different parts of railways but at least ot looks like the rail system is coming back together as a whole.

The new Secretary of State for the BBC is Nadine Dorres – which sound a bit like an anagram for something .
Let’s hope Nadine is a bit stronger than the last one . Who was that again ?
The country is still without a Home Secretary ….

So the BBC have stuck two fingers up at the Government and the public by appointing Brammer. Tim Davie is either completely ineffectual or just as bad as the rest of the BBC management. But I suspect that reforming the BBC is actually impossible with its current funding arrangements , they just don’t need to give a fig about what the public or government think , their money is safe. The government is scared of taking them on even though it would be a way for Boris to regain the trust of millions of those who voted for the Tories.
But what of the public who are forced to pay the License Fee? A well publicised and coordinated campaign to refuse to pay the LF would have widespread support and soon gather momentum. I’m sure that there must be several million who would refuse to pay if only they could be organised and the BBC would be unable to do anything about it.
A good dose of civil disobedience directed at the BBC might also persuade Boris et al that going Woke is a powerful vote loser amongst the Tory constituency and those who are Woke will never vote Tory . No matter how pink this government becomes it will never be red enough forthe Woke brigade.
Does the newly appointed Culture Sec, Nadine have the guts to take the BBC on ?

Here is something very odd here. The WAshington Post is as Woke as it is possible to be. General Milley is also a Woke extremist . Both are virulently anti Trump. So why has the WP published this story which must trash Milley and add even more fuel to the view that Trump was illegally removed from office by a high ranking cabal of conspirators?
Possibly the Woke now believe that they are invulnerable and simply cannot be removed from power so it doesn’t matter if they push a few million more Americans into supporting Trump . But that doesn’t explain why they have thrown such a loyal and useful Wokist as the General under the bus! There is something fishy here.

“Why too much laundry might be bad for your clothes and bad for the planet
It turns out that our weekly laundry could also be adding to the amount of plastics in our oceans”
so what ?
Making houses, means more brick dust in the environment
we live with that
microplastics are not causing dead animal bodies to pile up
The environment is pretty much the same
except for mega polluted rivers in Asia full of of all kind of toxins.
They lectured us that we should have less washdays and use lower temperatures.
