Is it ok to change my mind about capital punishment?

After some research I bought a Mebak 3 - about £100. It works, seems good, I've nothing to compare it to but Which or something similar thought it was the best overall one. For quads and IT band (outside of your thighs) I don't think you can beat a foam roller but have heard this might cause...

Anyone who tries to discredit what others are saying by using the term "woke/wokeism/wokeistas/woke-something" is not worth listening to (see Anderson, Lee).

How about the new main stand at Selhurst Park?

I'm starting to think there's more chance of Jonathan Calleri becoming our next manager.

Ok, I'm not an economist but my understanding of what's happened is as follows: the harm is the massive and rapidly growing difference in wealth between the rich/ultra-rich and the rest of us, fuelled by the action of the ruling classes - ultra-low interest rates and money printing driving up...

I just listened to the interview and you've summed it up perfectly.

Don't think there's much wrong with what RDZ said in that interview. He looks burnt out to me. He's human like the rest of us and trying to do the job here combined with travel to Italy and family commitments (not that I know what those are exactly) is taking its toll. I think any chance of a...

Yes I agree with you - if you want something done properly do it yourself. That's not to say I don't need admin and reception staff. I'd be completely lost without them. They help make sure referrals go on the right forms, get sent to the right place, make sure they've been received at the other...

It seems to be the direction NHS primary care is going and I don't think Labour are going to reverse it (might be wrong). To be fair there are probably some PAs who are really good at their job and pharmacists I work with can do various things well which reduces the GP workload. When I worked in...

There's a thing called ARRS (Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme). The government are offering money for practices which they can use to employ certain staff such as PAs, but it can't be used to pay for a GP. It started in 2019 I think. So essentially they're providing financial encouragement...

Here's my opinion for what it's worth: Most people off work in the long-term (“‘off sick”) are never going to get back to work. How much of the reason is genuine depression, anxiety, back pain etc and how much of it is an attitude/behavioural issue is hard to say, and probably impossible to...

Not sure if you've ever heard of him, but can I recommend a DJ called Stephen McCauley? His recent shows are on BBC Sounds - in particular you might like the Celtronic 2024 episode. He plays quite a lot of mainstream indie stuff (all fine but stuff you've heard before) but also downtempo...
