At least she made her own choice. Those who were victims of the Morecambe Bay scandal did not. The deaths of almost a dozen babies were blamed on midwives in ?over-zealous pursuit? of ?natural childbirth at any cost?.

Midwives, and any others, who want ?natural childbirth at any cost? should go and live in the Congo where they might actually do some good.

But it's not just midwives. Organisations like the NTC also need to take a level of responsibility. I've heard so many stories where women said they felt like failures when their plans for natural birth didn't go to plan.


Although to be fair I'm going back 5 years, may be better now.

So Netanyahu confirms what we've suspected for 15 years, that in our brave new world full of useful 'turrists' Israel has no intention of making peace or going for any state solution at all, be it one, two or pie in the sky.


And all those negotiations where people said to the palestinians 'just give in to their demands and stick to peaceful negotiations' were all in entirely bad faith, as was obvious to anyone looking on dispassionately.


And it barely makes the news...are we so jaded?


So given the confirmation that you've perpetuity in a occupational police state or ghetto prison, what would you do?

nets is a wanker of the highest order. he never got over his bro being killed at Entebbe back in the day, has a real hard on for bloody revenge. Its very very sad when the only future is to continue the siege mentality - ramping up the fallacy at home that the US is abandoning them has helped a great deal. just another sad day for the region

The BBC is a Global name well respected around the World.

It cannot be seen to be Demonstrating Double Standards...


If a less prominent employee were to punch someone it would be instant dismissal. No questions asked.


Clarkson is a vulgar A**ehole. His comments only funny ?

to those of similar 'Could not give a s**t about anyone else ' attitude.


I used to enjoy the programme but it started to become 'Sameish' and unbeleveable.


It was a bit of a stop gap for me on a Sunday night whilst waiting for Pub O'clock time.


Can't say I will miss Clarkson. Can't see the programme returning to our screens.

I had hoped that there would be an alternative petition to keep Clarkson sacked. Along the lines that John Lydon's brother campaigned to keep Hugh Strangler in Pentonville when he had been put away for a short time for possession of a class A drug.


Anyway, not an astute observation but in the same way that Frasier, Roseanne, Happy Days and no doubt other US comedies, Top Gear became forumlaic long ago. Yes entertaining, and nowt wrong with a guilty pleasure or two, but you knew the plot before it started.

There was. https://www.change.org/p/top-gear-the-bbc-bbc-do-not-bring-back-clarkson?recruiter=59305867&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=autopublish&utm_term=mob-xs-share_petition-reason_msg&fb_ref=Default - it got 343 signatures.


People power at its best.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
