Sunak and Starmer launch ‘personal attacks’ in final debate
PRIME MINISTER Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Keir Starmer went head-to-head on Wednesday (26) in their last debate before an election next week, with both launching highly personal attacks over their and their parties’ credibility.With Sunak’s Tories trailing Labour by around 20 points in the polls, the prime minister went on the attack, accusing Starmer of not being straight with the country on migration, tax and women’s rights, and urging voters not to “surrender” to the Labour.Starmer responded that Sunak was too rich to understand the concerns of most ordinary Britons. A snap YouGov poll said the debate had been a tie, with both on 50%.

Doctors and nurses who are not willing to listen to their patients should be replaced
BY VICTORIA SMITH
The third time I went into labour, I was determined to avoid getting told off. With both of my previous births, I had somehow managed to get things wrong. My errors the first time: going to hospital too early, then, when I returned three hours later, “leaving it so late”. The second time: ignoring assurances that I didn’t need to come in yet, then giving birth in the car park — an event I later discovered was being used in antenatal classes as an example of women “not planning ahead”.
“My previous births have been fast,” I said, when I went into labour with my third, “so I’d like to come in now.” I was speaking to the woman at the midwife-led unit that is the only option where I live. (If you need a caesarean section, you have to be transferred to next town.) “Third babies are notoriously difficult,” was her response.
What an odd thing to say to a woman already in labour. The “notoriously” suggested it wasn’t based on any actual evidence, but rather a kind of folk wisdom. It felt as though I was being warned not to tempt fate, not to assume that this baby would just pop out. I saw myself being categorised as one of those arrogant women who presumes to know her own body, only to be taught a harsh yet much-deserved lesson. “Third babies are notoriously difficult” sounded not unlike “third-time mothers shouldn’t get above themselves”.
In fact, I have never been particularly cocky about childbirth. When I was pregnant with my first child, back in the days when the Right-wing press were still obsessed with famous women being “too posh to push”, I wondered if I might be able to get an elective caesarean myself. I did not particularly care about childbirth being a wonderful experience, or about “doing it well”. I didn’t care if the Daily Mail thought I was a joke.
What I cared about was not having a child who would face the same difficulties as my brother, who was starved of oxygen at birth. This has had serious consequences for him, and for the rest of my family. Just how serious is hard to gauge. He was born traumatised; there has never been a before to compare the after with. What there has been instead is the hazy outline of an alternative life, one that runs parallel to the one he has now. It’s a life that began with the problem being identified sooner, with him being delivered quickly, perhaps by emergency caesarean. The difference between this and his actual life comes down to something small: mere moments, mere breaths.
I was born three years after my brother, in a larger hospital, where my mother was induced and monitored carefully. There is something very strange about being the sibling who had the safe birth. It feels as though I stole it. There is a constant sense of guilt, as if my life — my independence, my choices — constitutes a form of gloating. “This is what you could have had.” Everything I do feels like something owed to my brother (do it, because he can’t) but also something taken from him (you shouldn’t have done that, because he should have done it first).
Still, my family were fortunate, insofar as my brother didn’t die. Current reports on the Nottingham maternity scandal reference 1,700 cases, with an estimated 201 mothers and babies who might have survived had they received better care. What strikes me, reading them, is the enormous gulf between the cost of a disastrous birth and the trivial, opportunistic way in which childbirth is so often politicised — with mothers themselves viewed as morally, if not practically, to blame if anything goes wrong.
As a feminist who concerns herself with how the female body is demonised, my interest in debates about birthing choices is more than personal. I have read books railing against the over-medicalisation of childbirth, aligning it with a patriarchal need to appropriate female reproductive power. I have also read books protesting the fetishisation of “natural” birth, suggesting that it infantilises women, that it implies women deserve pain. To be honest, I find both arguments persuasive and dismaying. Both are right about the way in which misogyny and professional arrogance can shift the focus away from meeting the needs of women and babies. I feel a kind of rage that we are told to pick a side.
Representations of the labouring woman are so often negative: the naïve idealist, the “birthzilla“, the birth-plan obsessive, the woman who is “too posh to push”. This latter stereotype has gone hand-in-hand with a veneration of vaginal births, and stigmatisation of caesareans, that has had sometimes disastrous consequences. Midwives at the centre of the Furness General Hospital scandal were reported to have “pursued natural birth ‘at any cost’”, referring to one another as “the musketeers”; at least 11 babies and one mother died. But their approach was sanctioned by their employer: the 2006 NHS document ��Pathways to Success: a self-improvement toolkit” explicitly suggested that “maternity units applying best practice to the management of pregnancy, labour and birth will achieve a [caesarean section] rate consistently below 20% and will have aspirations to reduce that rate to 15%”. Proposed benefits to this included “a sense of pride in units”.
Responses to maternity scandals now express horror that such an anti-intervention culture ever arose — responses in the same press that denigrated women such as Victoria Beckham and Kate Winslet for not giving birth vaginally. Instead, newspapers now stoke outrage over “natural” treatments during NHS births, such as burning herbs. Women have been shamed for having caesareans, but they have also been shamed for wanting births with minimum intervention — as though they are selfish and spoilt for seeking control over such an extreme situation.
In his memoir This Is Going To Hurt, former doctor Adam Kay writes disparagingly of women who arrive at the delivery suite with birth plans:
“‘Having a birth plan’ always strikes me as akin to having a ‘what I want the weather to be’ plan or a ‘winning the lottery’ plan. Two centuries of obstetricians have found no way of predicting the course of a labour, but a certain denomination of floaty-dressed mother seems to think she can manage it easily.”
Wanting to have some control over your experience of labour — which will hurt you and could kill you or your baby — is not akin to some messianic aspiration to control the weather. And in his mockery of the woman who wants whale song and aromatherapy oils, ironically, Kay deploys the same silencing techniques that might intimidate a woman out of seeking the very interventions he so prizes. What he and others do not seem to grasp is that their arrogance is a problem, regardless of which course of action they champion. It makes women feel they can’t speak, for fear of inviting hostility at their most vulnerable moments. It’s true that none of us knows our body well enough to know how we will give birth. But, looking back, I find it utterly insane, not least given my own family history, that one of my biggest worries during labour was “please don’t let anyone get cross with me”. Then again, I don’t think that fear is unrelated to the desire to remain safe.
Birth is not a joke. It is not a place for professional dick-swinging or political one-upmanship. I cannot describe — and, as I am not my mother, cannot fully understand — the shame of feeling that you “let down” your child before they drew their first breath, that they will forever suffer because of it. You watch an entire life unfolding and that feeling is there, every single day. This is the fear of the women in labour who are characterised as either idiots mesmerised by fantasy homebirths or cold-hearted posh ladies who can’t take the pain. If things go wrong, they are the ones who will bear the consequences, reflecting every day on what might have been, if they’d only done more.
When people discuss their siblings, my mind does wander to the one I don’t have, the one who was born safely. Perhaps he would have a job he loved, or one he hated, but in any case a job. Perhaps he would have a partner. Perhaps he would have children, and I would be their aunt. Perhaps we wouldn’t get on, wouldn’t even speak, but he’d have a life of his own. I know he thinks about this too. I wonder if the professionals who presided over his birth have thought about him since.
My third labour was not, by the way, “notoriously difficult”. My third son arrived into the world safe and well. No one can say why him or me, and not my brother. Mothers may long for control over birth, for which we are mocked; but we do not have it, for which we are blamed. Politics still takes precedence over our needs, and the needs of our babies.
#Traumatic births#Doctors not listening to women#There's no such thing as a birthzilla#Women aren't too posh to push#Doctors are so posh they schedule cesareans to accommodate their schedules not the mothers#Furness General Hospital Scandal#This is going to hurt#Keep Adam Kay away from women#Women wanting a say in their births are not acting like they want to control the weather#Nottingham maternity scandal#If the baby suffers during a traumatic birth it's the mother who will providing the care after they come home from the hospital

7: player
“Quite the player, aren’t you, Kei?” Japeth asks. A scim slithers over the gaping gash on his cheek, comes around the other side of his face, dripping blood. He seems wholly unbothered. “That trick you pulled, to let me out. Drug pretty girls often, do you? Sweet-talk them until they’re kicking their feet and giggling and giving you whatever you want?”
He somehow manages to sound both amused and disdainful. The only woman Japeth has ever loved is his mother, probably, and judging by Rhian’s stories even that’s debatable. Kei rolls his eyes— a well-worn action, around Japeth— and continues pretending he doesn’t exist.
But Japeth, like Rhian, refuses to stop when it comes to getting what he wants. And right now, what he wants is to infuriate Kei. “How did it feel?” he asks conversationally. “Did you feel bad, wrapping that idiot of a girl around your finger?”
He could almost pass off as friendly. Kei does not think Japeth had ever had a real friend.
“I don’t like women,” he says, pointedly not looking at Japeth. They are certainly not friends. They are not even remotely close. Kei would gladly have left him rotting in the Sheriff of Nottingham’s jail, if Rhian hadn’t had plans for him.
“Does it matter?” Japeth coos. “You seemed to like her well enough. What was her name? Dot, was it? What an actor you are, Kei. I didn’t know you had it in you.”
“You don’t know anything about me,” Kei says, “and I don’t particularly want you to.”
“You think terribly lowly of me, don’t you,” Japeth sighs, not a question, not really. “You and Rhian, in your own little world. You know, Kei, I thought you were smart. I don’t quite understand why you choose to follow my dear brother on his fool’s crusade?”
“Don’t you?” Kei asks, blank. “Aren’t we on the same side in the end?”
“The difference is,” Japeth says, “Rhian has promised me something very precious to me. Something that I, unfortunately, see no better way to achieve. But you. You have nothing to gain from him.”
“Nothing to lose, either,” Kei says, clipped— and that’s already revealing too much. Japeth laughs, loud and open, and blood trickles from his mouth as it devolves into a wheezing cough. A scim darts across his face, past his pale lips. The blood remains.
“There’s always something to lose,” he says breezily. “Even for people like me. And they say I’m insane. Better than being such a fool.”
“You don’t know anything about me,” Kei repeats, steady. He knows what Japeth means: if he was not a criminal before, then he certainly is now. He will always be marked by dishonesty, by deception, by lies. He will always carry that cruelty with him.
But people are cruel.
But people want him to be cruel.
It is not so much of a loss, in his mind. And in return: a chance to be his own person, forge his own way, outside of the destiny that Arbed House had dictated for him.
Kei has always known, clear as day, what he wants. And it has never been something anyone other than Rhian would give him. A friend and a companion. Someone to follow and to trust. And in return: whatever he has to give, and give freely.
This is the truth: Rhian has never asked anything of him. Whatever Kei has done for him, it has always been his own choice.
Japeth shrugs, then, scims slithering up his face to form his signature mask. Kei can’t help but wince, and Japeth’s mouth curls— or rather, the scims do, twisting into something like amusement.
“You think you’re so different. You’re not. You and I are more similar than you think,” he says, languid. “They hate us both. They think us both broken. Evil, if you’d like to call it that, though I’m aware you don’t subscribe to our beliefs.”
“I’d rather die,” Kei tells him.
“What?” Japeth laughs. High and mocking. “Rather die than be like me? You’re bound to him just the same as I am. Rhian’s clever, my dear brother, he really is. He knows how to pull people’s strings. He’s playing you, you know. He always has been.”
“If Rhian hadn’t said he needed you,” Kei says, ice-cold, “I would have left you to rot.”
“What do you owe Rhian, that you would afford him such loyalty?” Japeth sneers, blue eyes glittering behind his scaled mask. “Think about it, Kei. Think about it.”
And this is where Japeth’s argument fails: Kei owes Rhian nothing. It has always been his choice, to follow where Rhian goes, to believe what he believes. What else would he do? What else could be kinder than this?
He goes back to ignoring Japeth. The other boy huffs in annoyance, scims hissing in eerie harmony as they shuffle over his skin.
“Suit yourself,” he says, unkindly. “You are nowhere near where my brother envisions himself to be. You are nothing, compared to him, compared to us.”
Scim-suit fully formed, he stalks away. Kei settles in to wait; peace and quiet, at last.
Rhian arrives in the middle of the night. Kei lets his face soften upon seeing him, relax into something less guarded, though certainly not less fake. Rhian is golden, gilded. He is glorious.
It’s an easy choice to make.
Rhian sits by him, in the dark, whispering about Sophie (said with a hint of fear amidst the disdain), and Tedros (mocking), and Agatha (almost respectful). He asks after Kei. Then after Japeth. He winces when Kei tells him Japeth had killed the three guards; well, it wouldn't have been Kei, he prefers to keep his hands clean. Rhian must know this already. He must not quite be happy about it. Another complication to weave a lie over, to hastily play to his advantage.
“I don’t like your brother,” Kei murmurs.
“Who does,” Rhian sighs. “I don’t like him either, but it was meant to be the two of us. I’ll just have to drag him along.” He offers Kei a tired smile. “Sorry you had to put up with him earlier.”
“I didn’t tell you that,” Kei says, half a question.
“No one else gets to you like he does,” Rhian says quietly. “Not since Aric. I can tell. What did he say to you?”
“Nothing true,” Kei says easily. “Nothing at all.”

Okay, no surprise everyone likes Robin Hood, thief of the rich and giver to the poor. Coincidentally, it’s one of my more completed WIPs anyway. So, I guess I’ll lay the foundation of my idea for my Leoichi, Robin Hood, early Edo Japan fic: “Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally, Golly What a Day.”
As you can tell, I’m going to base it mostly in Disney’s Robin Hood, with a few elements from whatever samurai and Robin Hood media I find and like. And for the characters, I plan to incorporate from ROTTMNT, SRTUC, and Usagi Yojimbo.
I plan to make Leo as the swashbuckling star, Robin Hood himself, with his brothers and Splinter as the Merry Men; Usagi as Maid Mariam with Gen, Chizu, and Kitsune taking turns as Madame Cluck; Baron Draxum and Tetsujin will share the role of Friar Tuck; Huginn and Munnin will be the church mice; Lord Kugane as Prince John and Lord Hebe (Usagi Yojimbo) as Sir Hiss. I’m currently debating who should be the Sheriff of Nottingham; as of now, I’m thinking of using Meat Sweats.
I’m sorry to say there would be no Alan-a-Dale, because it would be too clunky to add songs to writing.
I also have no idea when I’ll finish and start posting it. I’m a severe perfectionist, and I never submit anything until it meets my standards.
I will also refer Usagi with Yuichi being his first name, and Usagi being his last. I know it’s not canon, but it’s bugged me that his friends call him Usagi while his Auntie, his only family member seen on screen and presumably the one who raised him, calls him Yuichi.

Ideas for Villainous Characters for your Yuusona / Ocs in Twisted Wonderland
To help fanfic writers and artists, I thought I’d make a list of characters/items that creators could use to make their own twst characters. Feel encouraged to add if you have any ideas as well! The bigger the list, the better!
These are all things that present a challenge to the heroes in the Disney films or are connected to an antagonistic force, such as the poison apple being connected to the Evil Queen, or are just shown in a wicked light, such as the vultures from the same movie who just follow the queen looking devious.
Below are things that feature from some of the other animated movies that aren't featured in the main story line. (Not all the movies but I'll get to them.)
Live action, games, and etc. will get their own list eventually.
Peter Pan:
*Captain Hook
*Smee
*Any of the other Pirates
*Tik-Tok the Crocodile (debatable)
*The Mermaids (They literally said their intentions were to DROWN Wendy when they first meet her. I'm counting them)
*Tinkerbell (Debatable, but considering she tricked her friends into trying to murder a child, then betrayed her friends to vicious pirates with the only price being not to harm PETER, I’m counting her here. And--even though she “redeems” herself and is labeled a “hero”--she’s primarily an antagonistic force towards Wendy throughout the movie.)
The Indians (Again, debatable, but they were going to kill a bunch of kids)
The Jungle Book:
*Shere Khan
*Kaa
*King Louie (debatable)
*Louie’s monkeys
Sword in the Stone:
*Mad Madam Mim
*The pike fish
*The hawk
*The wolf
Cinderella:
*Drizzella
*Anastasia
*The Key Tremaine uses to lock Cinderella away
*The clock which awoke Cinderella from her dreams and ticked down to end the spell
Pinocchio:
*The Coachman
*Stromboli
*Lampwick (debatable)
*Monstro (Note: This is the name of Azul’s lounge)
*Pleasure Island itself (Note: stated to be a location in the Playful Land Event. However, I argue this as that was NOT Pleasure Island. Pleasure Island was a place that tempted you to be your worst and then cursed you for it. Playful Land just had you drop your guard and use rules against you. It’s basically just a Disney remake.)
The Black Cauldron:
*The Horned King
*The Black Cauldron
*The Wyrms
*The Witches
*Goblin Dude
*The skeleton warriors
Robin Hood:
*Prince John
*Hiss
*The Sheriff of Nottingham
Beauty & The Beast:
*The Enchantress (debatable)
*Leboff
*The Asylum Doctor
*The Wolves
*The Rose that counts down how long The Beast has to fall in love (Debatable)
Mulan:
*Shaun Yu
*The Falcon
*The Huns
*The Avalanche (debatable)
Pocahontas (no connection to history, please):
*Radcliff
*The “drums” of war
*The settlers (debatable in the film)
*Kokocum (debatable)
The Hunchback of Notre Dame:
*The Flames from Hellfire
*The Robed Figures
*Clopin and the Romani People (debatable. They did try to hang the heroes, after all.)
Nightmare Before Christmas:
*Oogie Boogie
*Jack Skellinton (Debatable)
*The Trick or Treaters
*The Doctor
*The creepy doll
*Snake that ate the Christmas Tree
*Oogie’s bugs

Hello John and also John! I was debating writing in to gush about the Nottingham show and seeing someone else do it has empowered me ‼️
For one, it was so amazing to be in an entirely TMBG fan crowd. Everyone I spoke to was so nice, I’ve never had such a pleasant experience of other concert goers, so hats-off for collecting this group of people.
Given time I could probably gush about the whole show, but I’ll say that being able to scream “let me tell you about my operation” (possibly my favourite song ever) after not expecting it to be played, at the barrier, was so surreal in the best way. I’m never doubting my friend that I bought (who did in fact look at me funnily when you started playing backwards) when they convince me to get a barrier spot again 👍 brass gang absolutely killed it too- rear view mirror thrown away/10, what an experience.
Thank you so much for an awesome awesome night :] I will look back on it fondly for many years to come 🎉
(Ps if you ever end up in Notts again PLEASE have a sniff around the Hockley area. I promise there’s cool stuff hidden amongst the sea of vape shops if you know where to look)

Harbour (Day 28) — Citations
Because I got too wordy for AO3's endnote character max....
References (continuing from Days 26–27):
Re-upping a strong rec for all things radical reform & rebellion in the 1810s-20s: E.P. Thompson's Making of the English Working Class. Interesting how much of Luddite history and uprisings were indeed in Nottingham(shire), Glasgow, and London. We love to see it.
As for Days 26–27, here I'm also relying on those records about the real Crown & Anchor (see prev. citations).
TBH I did a speedrun through the entire Black Sails series, and in my head, Tharkay's world pre-Temeraire was basically Black Sails 85 years later. His experience of Macao might as well be the Anglo-Chinese Nassau: the cutthroat tactics, the deeply suspicious individual cunning, the sudden swerves of loyalties, the layers upon layers of private goals and ambitions, the way that even your teammates and lovers and most trusted friends could kill you any minute? (Plus the hatred of the hypocrisies of empire and the follies of short-sighted men?) That's what it was like for (my) Tharkay. S/o Lt. James McGraw—know no shame.
Austen stayed on Henrietta Street in London, and Austen is always nearby when I'm writing this fic, esp. for dialogue, because why would you go anywhere else for dialogue or free indirect narration.
The Bengali dragons (who sadly in the final draft don't appear onstage) come from the canon scene in League of Dragons [pp.185—190]. I also imagined my Priya Ghuri as a Himalayan dragon (breed Pālaka Cilla, from the Sanskrit words for 'protector/shield' and 'kite/sky'): imagine something like a much more draconic Falkor, white-scaled, reptilian, fanged, but also yeti-furry to survive the alpine climate of the Himalayas, and very rare if not fully legendary (thus part of Tenzing's childhood tales).
In the period around 1817, the northern parts of the Indian subcontinent were often in revolt against British (in this period meaning East India Company) rule. This includes the Second and Third Anglo-Maratha War, plus the Anglo-Nepalese War (Treaty of Sugauli, 1816). Coverage of these wars and praise for the then-Governor-General of India, the Marquess of Hastings, showed up in the Times of London and in parliamentary debates around early Feb. 1817.
Map of the streets of London (1815) — so high-def and gorgeous: UW Milwaukee ily.
Maps of British India, 1765 vs. 1805, indicating 'Ceded and Conquered Provinces,' from Harvard. Another map of India from 1805 (wiki).
Menu for an average (genteel) winter dinner party from Cookery and Confectionary (1824) by John Conrade Cooke via the Wellcome Collection.
Even though the real 'London club-land' vibe didn't get into full swing until the mid- to late-Victorian period, there were certainly gentlemen's clubs and dining societies for Georgians. I also borrowed (proleptically) some enormous paintings for their walls — like Lear's Mount Kanchenjunga from Darjeeling(1877) — and just, as it were, imagined dragons.
I finally gave Tenzing's mother a name. Because Tenzing is — in my story — Nepali by heritage, and that region was complicated by British rule/intervention for the generation+ before Tenzing's birth, I think his mother would today be Nepali but with more Tibetan rather than Indian or Chinese heritage. So 'Baskota Dawa Tharkay': Baskota is a common Nepali surname (and I think I am right that common usage styles Nepali names with surname/family name first, given/first name second); Dawa is a given name across several Himalayan societies, meaning 'moon,' also 'Monday,' as a marker of an ancestral Tibetan/Buddhist lifeway.
Lastly (for now), the lantern that Tenzing buys for Tem. in Belgium (not that there was a 'Belgium' in 1817) is based on this stained glass lantern which borrowed reconstructed much older pieces of glass into a new Gothic art object for Strawberry Hill. It's big. My friend did her diss on c19 repurposing of older stained glass, including how novel and rapidly evolving techniques for modern glass manufacturing sometimes overlapped with glaziers and antique dealers who took advantage of the dismantling of many European churches around Napoleon, selling off segments of ancient or medieval glass. But there's another fic in that to come…

@aislingarrow // Alastair starter since I have Alastair brain rot —> first meeting
Alastair was Relta’s half brother, only sharing a mother despite their shared coloring, and she was his ‘ward’. As of late, he’d worried about her going to Nottingham alone, and had decided to — with his newly found wealth, wealth made from honest work overseas — check up on her. He’d taken a carriage, carrying gifts for his sister, the princess and true heir to the throne.
Hearing his guard yelp, Alastair got out of the carriage on the side he didn’t hear a body thud to, groaning, the ground with an arrow sticking out of his shoulder. He glanced at his guard, sent by the sheriff of Nottingham in ‘good will’ — aka a bribe — and then went to free the horses so their assailant wouldn’t harm innocents.
“You have me. What do you wish for?” He yelled, going around and kneeling beside the guard, debating how to aid the man. “He needs medical attention, please reveal yourselves. I’m unarmed, my blades packed away. I mean no harm, and hope you are willing to help an innocent man.”
“All I have are gifts for my sister. Take them, sell them, just please aid this man,” he yelled again, putting pressure on the wound to suppress the bleeding, despite staining his expensive looking clothing with the blood.

URGENT (same anon asking about PALS if no extended pathway estimate can be given)
Sorry to split this in two parts, just didn't want to unload one massive chunk; I've also got another issue regarding my last appointment I was debating bringing up to PALS but I don't think it would do anything. I was referred to extended pathway because I didn't talk about surgery enough (says so on my follow up letter) which I did in as much detail as I could without being a bloody surgeon knowing exactly what I'm eligible for.
The only reason I agreed was because I was scared I'd be discharged if I said no. I also noticed I haven't got an official diagnosis of gender dysphoria yet which baffles me because it's what I've been describing to them the whole time. Does the diagnosis come at the same time they give the hormones or not?
It's all so patronizing I need to keep repeating myself; I'm thinking of making this clear to the next person I have an appointment with that the only reason I agreed was because I was scared of being discharged. What actually happens if you do disagree with them, because I don't think I could go through being discharged and the whole song and dance of waiting for an inital appointment again.
(Damn, sorry for the long rant but 9/10 times you guys are the only place I can find any info. Nottingham's website has jack shit on extended pathway appointments)
Hi Anon,
If you feel that you are not being listened to or taken seriously, you should make a complaint. You should never feel that you have to agree to things just to keep them happy. You should also not be made to worry about being discharged.
So write down clearly where you feel there are failing and how they are making you feel and put it in a complaint.
Lots of guys feel bad about complaining or worry about what will happen if they do. But complaints have to be dealt with and investigated properly and most times NHS departments do not want their work being investigated, so sometimes this can be used as a way of making sure the GICs know you won’t put up with being treated badly and you also know what to do when you are not happy.
In terms of a diagnosis, yes most GICs will give you a diagnosis of GID in order to prescribe you T. So once again you can question this in your complaint or you could email and ask why you have not been given a diagnosis.
Unfortunately more and more people are experiencing issues with their GICs and official complaints can often be the only means of getting your situation looked at properly.

Even more NPCs who look hella good 🥹, do these three guards have any complex backstories, motives or are they simple soldiers that execute Geoffrey will? 🧐
They aren't terribly complex characters because they don't need to be for their role in the story.
However, the question you're asking is at the heart of a debate between Robin and John. Robin believes that Geoffrey is behind the corrupt actions of the Nottingham guard, but John isn't so sure. He thinks there might be a ringleader within the guard itself who is profiting from their protection racket and other nefarious deeds.
Who is correct?

Studying in London VS Other UK Cities: Transportation and Connectivity
Transportation and connectivity are crucial considerations for students when choosing where to study. Navigating the city, commuting to campus, or traveling for leisure are all part of the student experience. London, with its world-class public transportation, contrasts sharply with smaller UK cities that offer simpler, often more affordable options.
If you’re debating between Studying in London VS Other UK Cities, understanding the differences in transportation can help you decide what works best for your lifestyle. Discover more insights about Studying in London VS Other UK Cities to make an informed choice.
London’s Public Transport System: Efficiency with a Price Tag 🚆💸
London boasts one of the most advanced and interconnected public transportation systems in the world.
The London Underground (The Tube) 🛤️
The iconic Tube network spans 11 lines, making every part of the city accessible.
Frequent services mean you’re never far from a train, but peak hours can be crowded.
Buses, Trams, and More 🚍
London’s iconic red double-decker buses are affordable and scenic, perfect for students exploring the city.
Trams, Overground services, and the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) add extra layers of connectivity.
Travel Costs in London 💷
Students can benefit from an Oyster Card with discounts, but travel costs remain significantly higher than in other cities.
Monthly travel passes can range from £90-£130, depending on the zones you commute within.
Accessibility and Convenience ✅
London’s public transport operates late into the night, and Night Tube services are available on select lines, ideal for students enjoying nightlife or working part-time jobs.
Apps like Citymapper make navigation seamless.
Transportation in Other UK Cities: Simplicity and Affordability 🚲🌿
Smaller UK cities like Manchester, Nottingham, or Leeds offer streamlined and budget-friendly transportation systems.
Local Buses and Trams 🚍🚋
Most cities rely on an extensive bus network, with affordable student discounts.
Cities like Manchester and Nottingham also feature efficient tram systems, often more cost-effective than London’s transport.
Cycling-Friendly Cities 🚴♀️
Smaller cities are more bike-friendly, with dedicated cycling lanes and shorter distances.
Investing in a bike is a one-time cost that can save students significant money in the long run.
Travel Costs Outside London 💷
Students in smaller cities enjoy cheaper fares, with monthly passes often costing £40-£70.
Walking is also a viable option, given the compact nature of many regional campuses.
Accessibility and Convenience ✅
While public transport is less frequent compared to London, smaller cities have shorter commutes, ensuring you can still get around easily.
Long-Distance Travel: Connecting the UK 🛤️✈️
London’s Advantage for Long-Distance Travel
London is home to major transport hubs like King’s Cross, St Pancras International, and Heathrow Airport, providing unparalleled access to the rest of the UK and Europe.
High-speed trains like the Eurostar make weekend trips to Paris or Brussels possible!
Regional Cities’ Connectivity
Smaller cities are well-connected to London and other parts of the UK via National Rail and coach services.
Travel times are longer but more affordable, especially with student discounts on railcards.
Which City Wins? 🏆
London: Ideal for Students Who:
Rely on fast and frequent public transport for daily commutes.
Want quick access to international and national travel options.
Don’t mind higher travel costs in exchange for convenience.
Other UK Cities: Perfect for Students Who:
Prefer affordable transportation and shorter commutes.
