Quote from: muddy on August 16, 2026, 10:58:59 AMAndy Burnham has asked for ' a moment of reflection ' as he issues a statement on Jason Arday .Hardly surprising, Arday ticked a lot of boxes in the woke agenda.
I wonder why he didn't ask for one for Anne Widdecombe whose funeral was a few days ago .
Or maybe he should reflect on the grief of Andrew Harpers mother and family upon who his government is about to inflict more pain as they see his smirking killers walk free.

They will have a very sad decision to make .
As it is he is eating well but sleeps a lot and when awake he has severe separation anxiety and follows me everywhere .
He has pain medication poor old chap .
He still loves treats so he gets them too .😢
Quote from: GrannyMac on August 16, 2026, 04:52:05 PMI worked for British Gas for 18 years, great employer IMO. That was when we used to be considered the best for customer service, like M&S. I took redundancy after working in three locations. OH was ill, and I didn't fancy the long commutes. And the company had changed massively through privatisation.
Quote from: muddy on August 16, 2026, 08:20:15 PMMups have they prescribed prednisone yet ?The vet did not suggest Prednisone Muddy, but probably because it is not safe with her Vetoryl (Cushings meds).
This will stop the itching for a while
Unfortunately its long time side effects are not good .
Some people believe it's a food allergy .
I give mungo liver once a week and lambs hearts if there are any .
I try and give him eat least some good quality food goodness knows what goes into cans and kibble .
Quote from: Scrumpy on August 13, 2026, 10:38:00 AMAww! Muddy.. He sounds a lovely old thing..Yes I am counting the days until they return .
I couldn't bear to hear him crying downstairs all alone..
Just give him lots of love and nice treats.. He has earned them..
And just hope.. it's not 'on your watch'..
Quote from: Mups on August 15, 2026, 10:00:00 PMI managed to get an appointment for Liffey this morning.Mups have they prescribed prednisone yet ?
The young vet did a flea check first - nothing there.
She thinks it is an allergy of some sort.
I showed her all the places that she had made sore, especially her tummy, and the vet was surprised at just had bad it was.
She has given me some tablets for here, plus a skin spray I have never seen before. When you press the nozzle, a foam comes out.
I have to rub rub this into her skin and watch she doesn't lick it until it is dry. She said I can also still give her the Piriton, but I haven't decided about that yet, I'll see how it goes first.
Lif is very quiet today, and sleeping most of the time, but there seems a slight improvement, so that is encouraging at least, but unless I know what she is allergic to, I don't know what to keep her away from!
Just parted with another £90-something pounds.
Thanks for the kind thoughts, Scrumps, Alex and Muddy.
Quote from: klondike on August 16, 2026, 10:22:00 AMCould be he can't act. Lots of government power has been passed over to quangos, and courts, Those courts rule by our human rights act which incorporates European human rights law various international treaties and probably loads more stuff that wants weeding out. I'm pretty sure that he'll be saying that it is all out of his hands and that may even be true. The whole rotten ediface needs a huge chopper and the politicians just don't seem to have the balls to take it in handActs of Parliament are passed, surprisingly, by Parliament (presumably due to a majority of the Labour government). Consequently, perhaps the 'human rights act' could then be changed, perhaps by ignoring the European human rights law, even if it requires our leaving the ECHR.
