Biopsy was supposed to happen last week but there was something in the way - namely 2 litres of fluid which had to be drained first. Next up is an appointment on Tuesday at the Royal London...not quite sure what is going to happen so an overnight bag is being taken just in case. After a day of not eating before the biopsy, she's now trying to get back to eating properly again.
I'm sure she'll be fine but it's tough going right now...

No, no, no. You've got the narrative all wrong. Clearly this is Corbyn's fault and he needs to be badgered constantly until he apologises for it.PaulfromYorkshire wrote:Thankfully China is stepping in between Trump and N Korea.

It's Obama's fault, apparently, because the Iran nuclear deal (to stop Iran getting nuclear weapons) encouraged North Korea to acquire nukes. In 2006, while George W Bush was President.

One of the candidates seems a little confused about law...
Leaving aside the small matter of Scots law, I expect we'll hear his condemnation of Beth Din soon...we will won't we?Mr Whittle told the Today programme that he was concerned by the number of Sharia courts in the UK.
Sharia councils are tribunals that seek to apply Islamic laws to settle disputes. It is unclear how many exist in the UK.
"There is one law in this country and that is British law," he told Radio 4's Today programme.
He denied it was an anti-Islamic viewpoint.

No, I don't understand either why May has an Isis flag, or Corbyn an EU flag. Or indeed why EU migrant, Anne Marie Waters, passes the doubtless exacting Britishness test of these goons.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... er-dealingDavid Davis linked to City trader fined for insider dealing
David Davis backed a City high-flyer’s appeal against a huge fine for insider dealing a month after accepting a lucrative position at one of his companies, the Observer has established.
Brexit secretary supported banker Ian Hannam in court after accepting lucrative post at his company
David Davis, the Brexit secretary, hit out at the fine imposed on Ian Hannom after taking a job at his firm.
The Brexit secretary has been a staunch ally of star banker Ian Hannam for many years.
The £450,000 fine imposed by the FSA (replaced by the Financial Conduct Authority or FCA in 2013) was one of the largest handed down to an individual and was considered a major coup for the authority. But Davis described its action as “unBritish”. (Guardian)
