Prostate Cancer

I am currently undergoing treatment for advanced (metastatic) prostate cancer which was diagnosed late last year. I am posting this to try to prevent other men finding themselves terminally ill. Prostate cancer is common, has few symptoms and there is no screening for it in the UK. Check your family history for prostate and breast cancer (they are related). All men over 55 (my random number – check with a GP) should have an annual PSA test and preferably an MRI scan as the PSA test is not reliable. My PSA was normal about three years before I encountered  spinal pain and by then the genie was out of the bottle. Please don’t ignore this warning as it might just save your life. Pass this message on to at least two men that you know.

And still some people will vote Tory

When we needed a high calibre PM we ended up with one as thick as two short planks

A PM who cannot understand doubling time would not normally be allowed to progress to university. An O-level in English (or the modern equivalent) is normally a prerequisite for university entrance. Johnson somehow arrived at Oxford University with zero knowledge of maths.

The cruel Home Secretary departs

Anyone making the statements Braverman made on Question Time  shouldn’t be anywhere near the leavers of power:
