'The worst affected route was Queensway, where the daily traffic count jumped from 706 prior to March 2022 to 1,795 in September last year. Council officers said that there was “little evidence” that the LTN had helped people get around on foot and that, despite an initial increase, there had been a “disappointing” downturn in cycling in the area to levels lower than the pre-trial period. It was also found that the project had “little to no impact on alleviating the impact of school traffic”.'

City transport chiefs said the Fenham LTN had made traffic worse on surrounding residential streets, but fans of the scheme quickly began mounting protests on Friday as the news broke

The list of things that the NHS is very bad at would take far too long to compile. However, I might venture to add reading the room to the tally.
To my astonishment, the GP surgery at which I am registered sent me (yet another) text message yesterday. The message asked whether I would like to 'become a volunteer Practice Health Champion'. Other than a loose reference to making a difference to 'people's lives' (not clear whether for better or worse), no description was offered. No, thank you.
Like most surgeries, this one piled up the furniture inside the door the moment the wind changed direction in 2020 and the publicly-funded employees hid behind it. What I will champion, though, are determined efforts for individuals to manage their own health and their own lives and for the NHS—if it is to remain in existence at all—to be reduced a a trauma only service.
This link (which is not from the surgery in question) gives a little insight into the surgery's suggestion. How long before these volunteers are jabbing experimental toxins into their fellow men?

For the ever-increasing number of those that eschew all outlets of commercial or mainstream media, it is funny to register the scale of shock when receiving the occasional glancing blow.
I found today's copy of The Daily Telegraph poking me in the eye this morning, and the front page included hits on 'antivaxxers', anti-trans legislation and anyone interested in peace amongst Slavs. Also a piece in which a Court of Appeal judge confirms his status as a buffoon by endorsing AI writing tools.
Having spent yesterday evening in the company of secondary school pupils, I am extremely confident that this drivel is not dented by their bargepoles, which is enormously encouraging.

Another 'should I worry' classic. This time from the Guardian. Unusually, the answer to the question is 'no', but that's because they have managed to get through the entire article without mentioning either fluoride or glyphosate.

How healthy is the stuff that comes out of your kitchen tap? Is it lacking essential minerals, or tainted with microplastics? Here’s what the science says

As we know, if you pay for the science, you get the version of it that you want.

On water, you may well have a Berkey filter. In the USA, Berkey has been interfered with–for the first time–by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Mike Adams spoke to Jim Shepherd, who runs Berkey, about this.

If you're in the mood for a rather more therapeutic viewing experience, may I recommend watching two Canadians building a log cabin with hand tools?
No soundtrack, other than their environment and the chopping and hammering.

Press release:
£200 million to boost NHS resilience and care this winter
The Urgent and Emergency Care Recovery Plan announced earlier this year was backed by £1 billion to boost capacity in the health system by providing 5,000 additional beds, 800 new ambulances and 10,000 virtual wards.
The government remains committed to cutting waiting lists – there has been good progress made on the Elective Recovery Plan with 2 year and 18 month waits eliminated so far.(Please see a waiting list chart here: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-7281/ )
Last year, the government established the Elective Recovery Taskforce, made up of academics and experts from the NHS and independent sector, to look for ways to go further to bust the Covid backlogs and reduce waiting times for patients. It has since published an implementation plan, including reviewing the use of the independent sector in training junior NHS staff.

A short documentary film about offshore wind turbines and the probable harm to whale populations. Just another form of destruction in the name of progress.

The Church of England on the scrounge, again. Interesting, since the Church Commission sits on £10.1 billion. Yes, billion.
'Prayerfully reflect' is a new one on me. However, in my prayerful reflections, I have considered the C of E's contribution to the 'cost of living crisis', in slamming the doors before they were pushed and shutting down all revenue streams from early 2020.
And now, as they struggle aboard the Net Zero bandwagon (with no real understanding of the implications), they will force church congregations into spending money that does not yet exist.
All of this as they continue to fund genomics, the manufacture of lethal weapons and, of course, pornography!
