Last Notes npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway I'm really glad that the long-running English coastal path project is finally on the verge of completion. It's a very good thing and I've been following its development over many years. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway For some reason, I have as an earworm the muzak version of Tie A Yellow Ribbon, as featured prominently in The Wrong Trousers. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway Very important questions. The bit about not raising it at the time feels important to me. Why wouldn't you do that, if you were actually trying to help? npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway Also in gardening news, I forgot I planted irises last year, so this was a very pleasant surprise. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway No, I'm sorry for getting so worked up. I just don't express myself very well! Thank you for being very reasonable about it. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway I was trying - and apologies if my wording was poor - to find a way of saying 'different people were treated differently' and 'nearly all people were treated badly in some way' without one appearing to contradict the other. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway I've just started a new party, and we've already got 269k members. So the Rollo Treadway party is the biggest in the country! npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway This is an issue I've encountered at work. Healthy Life Expectancy is lower in our region than any other region in England, primarily because of respiratory illnesses, and the respiratory illnesses have their roots in mining and pollution and smoking. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway As a tall person, I don't want a bathroom without a tub. I want a tub built for tall people. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway I hope so, but sometimes membership waves fall away. Like with the LibDems, who picked up a huge number of members as the main anti-brexit party in England and it appears from recent reports that they've pretty much all left again. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway You come swanning into this thread, throwing your puns around, no care for the fowl behaviour you're exhibiting. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway Yep. I protested about that back when it was still a Bill. One of the first things that politicised me (along with the ban on protesting during the visit of Jiang Zemin the same year). npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway I wouldn't expect any kind of alliance. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway They're also a very good example of how there are many MPs who - when not cowed by the party whip or overly concerned with ambition - are actually reasonable people who want to do what they believe to be the right thing for their constituents. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway Well, for starters, I wouldn't describe myself as far left. Although perhaps I would be considered that way in the US, I don't know. I've always felt that far left is more 'workers seizing the means of production', rather than simply 'maybe we could try to not let everyone die'. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway Fun fact (which I'm sure you already know but some won't): one of the lawyers working to try and defend the rights of people to dance, against the government's ridiculous anti-rave legislation, was an earnest young bloke called Keir Starmer. Wonder what ever happened to him. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway Took a very gentle walk down to the pond in the woods and back. You can't really see them, my camera isn't good enough, but there are baby moorhens here. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway If you have an election to vote in tomorrow, please vote. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway I want to say a few things, after having read the Supreme Court judgement on the characteristic of sex in the Equality Act. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway By which I mean, this sort of thing should probably be identifiable and stoppable with early intervention? Shouldn't it? npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway On Thursday, I posted "Today has not been good. I had all that stress about the trains, then I shouted at people for political reasons, and then I felt shitty and guilty for shouting, and I got hardly any work done, and also my Mum says she's going to phone this evening, and my brain feels like it's taking a beating." npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway Garden centre was nice. At this time of year, very much in between seasons, some empty shelves where the summer flowers and herbs will go, lots of boxes and racks of things waiting to be part of a display, and so on. But still lots of spring bedding plants and all-year shrubs, and some things that smelt lovely. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway No, it's dark, almost black (I think it's actually very dark brown but that might just be the light). npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway Insect enthusiasts: do you know what this fellow is? #insects #entomology npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway I had a shower and a shave and now the right side of my face feels significantly warmer than the left. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway Morning everyone. Had a dream with a thrilling story but woke up just as the big secret was about to revealed. Gahhh. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway Also, and I've said this a lot of times but I don't think anyone bloody listens: my Trust has had to pay a lot of private ambulance services to do work that we should be able to do, but can't, because the previous Government didn't allow us enough staff and resources. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway I think that, as usual, the necessity of the private sector is just being completely ignored. I know everyone likes to say 'get rid of all private contracts!', but private contracts in the NHS provide us with: npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway There are huge staffing issues. Staffing is at the heart of everything. But I don't think it's possible to go from 'the DoH are trying to solve NHS problems without solving the staffing problem first' (which is probably true) to 'the DoH is planning to end the NHS as a free-at-the-point-of-use public service, even though doing so would likely guarantee defeat at the next election'. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway It seems to me (though I really don't know much about this) that novelists are also affected in the same way, that there's still a lot of money in the industry but only a tiny proportion of authors can get anywhere near making a living. And even then, that living involves far more self-promotion than used to be the case. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway I think that's very much the direction. There will always be some people able to make a full-time living from music alone, but I doubt it will ever again be so many as in the late 20th century. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway But there is an enormous amount of fantastic new music being made, all the time. It's never been easier to make and distribute music. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway Not just the act of brexit itself, but the years of absolutely appalling behaviour by the Government that went along with it. Leaving the EU was always a bad idea but our international standing was made so, so much worse by the behaviour of a bunch of chancers and clowns. They should not be forgiven. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway Morning everyone. Dreamt I was running. Running! I don't run. Anyway, it was no fun because Simon Mayo stole my drink. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway If I'm kind of unwell, I don't have to keep up with the mandatory minimum amount of exercise, do I? npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway I also don't wear a poppy, and again, it's the jingoism and the military nationalism. I wore one up until 2003. The sight of warmongering politicians wearing poppies at the cenotaph tipped me over the edge; no more. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway I don't know what the outcome of this consultation will be. But I do think it pretty foolish to object to it because of general vibes about how you think it might go in the future. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway There's quite a lot of people here (not just in the UK) who will put their own very precise personal principles ahead of anything realistic and practical. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway The notes are there, but no guarantee on how easy they'll be to find! npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway That reminds me of my Dad. Left school at the earliest opportunity, no qualifications to speak of, but had an intuitive understanding of how any kind of machine worked that has always been beyond me. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway During the election night coverage, when the scale of the Tories' defeat was becoming apparent, a pundit - I'm afraid I can't remember who, it was a long night - some pundit said that no major party in modern times has ever had such a gap between the politics of the Parliamentary party and the membership. I keep thinking of that. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway I think a number of factors. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway I've had very frequent suicidal ideation for so long that I even have a scale for how much the ideation is a genuine risk, or how much it's simply idle or intrusive thoughts, so that I might have a chance of seeking help before reaching the very low points. npub15n7gcq8qd5a5gtvth6k57lwrxy7hjvqq78nm2vw30zj6fqg2x4hq9nt9fk RolloTreadway I decided to put the bread machine on, so I've fresh bread for lunch.
