Up very late today, NHS doctors and the future of the UK



31 August

It’s a good job we didn’t have any plans for today folks. Jan woke me and when I checked the time I couldn’t believe it; 11.20! That’s just crazy. As I said, it’s a good job we didn’t have any plans.

There’s a lot more going on in the case of the five year old boy that went missing. His parents have posted a video on YouTube, here’s a link if you want to see it … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14ETQn9ZPwk&sns=tw&app=desktop  This whole case seems to be one where UK doctors are bullying the lads’ parents because they had the temerity to question their treatment of the lad.

Now I’m not sure who to believe because of known problems with the way the media have in blowing everything up out of proportion. Even so, there have been many cases where doctors look to protecting themselves when a patient questions their treatment. It’s not just the financial side either is it? Oh no; their professional opinion is being questioned as well. And that is something they will not tolerate.

Somewhere along the line, someone is telling a lot of lies. If ever there were grounds for a public enquiry, this case has them all. The actions of the doctors concerned, the actions of the parents, of the police, and yet again of the media. The cost of all this faffing about must be huge; if anyone is found to be at fault here, no matter who it is, they should be sent the bill for the whole thing. Why should they get away with it? Why?

It won’t be long now to when the Scots decide if they want to be independent or not. There’s a lot anger over this issue and some of the yes campaign have been very vicious to their detractors. JK Rowling was slated for giving a £1 million donation to the no campaign. For years now Mr Salmon has been banging on about Scottish independence. I now have a feeling that all he’s really interested in is his own political future than a real desire for independence. If he get a yes vote, he’ll breath a big sigh of relief, just you watch.

Of course, the rest of the UK don’t have a say in this do we? One concern I have about it this; ‘What happens if it fails after a yes vote?’ We they come crawling back begging to be let in? If that happens then, we should all get a vote. I shall be on no vote team for that one! They chose their future, let them get on with it!

So then, let’s see what photo I have today … 

This is a shot of loch in the Highlands of Scotland. We had a camping holiday besides this loch years ago. It was a good holiday too.          

Today’s funny come via The Sage …

A woman goes into a Fishing n tackle shop to buy a rod and reel for her grandson's birthday. She doesn't know which one to get, so she just picks one and goes over to the counter. The salesman is standing there, wearing dark glasses. She asks, "Excuse me. Can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?"
"Madam, I'm completely blind; but if you'll drop it on the counter, I can tell you everything you need to know from the sound it makes." he replies.
She doesn't believe him but drops it on the counter anyway.
"That's a six-foot Shakespeare graphite rod with a Diawa reel and 10-lb..Test line. It's a good all around combination, and it's actually on sale this week for £44." said the salesman.
"That's amazing that you can tell all that, just by the sound of it dropping on the counter. I'll take it!" she said smiling. As she opens her purse, her credit card drops on the floor.
"Oh, that sounds like a Visa card," says the salesman.
As the lady bends down to pick up the card, she accidentally farts… At first she's really embarrassed, but then realises there is no way the blind salesman would tell exactly who had farted.
The man rings up the sale and says, "That'll be £57 please."
The woman is totally confused and asks,
"Didn't you tell me it was on sale for £44. How did you get £57?"
"Well the Duck Caller is a tenner, and the Fish Bait is three quid.
