Details here: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/mar/25/scottish-health-system-quicker-to-spot-cancer-says-george-alagiah "In Scotland men and women are automatically offered screening for bowel cancer every two years from the age of 50; in England it starts at 60. The chance of survival for five years or more for those with stage four bowel cancer is less than 10% – however, if it is caught at stage one the chances are nearly 100%, according to Cancer Research UK. Speaking to the Sunday Times, Alagiah said: “Had they had screening at 50, like they do in Scotland ... I would have been screened at least three times and possibly four by the time I was 58. “We know that if you catch bowel cancer early, survival rates are tremendous. I have thought: why have the Scots got it and we don’t?” " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The letter said they did them at 56 as well but I didn’t get the invite then so I can only imagine that it’s just started. I think it’s also a “post code lottery” as the letter implied that it was down to my GB Practice participating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaid Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Whenever Michelle Mone is trending on Twitter it’s amusing to see I what context she’s been brought up. Today’s seems to be Suella Braverman going on about Just Stop Oil. Imagine being a meme for Tory corruption. I can’t think what it’ll be like if she ever gets charged.

Some seriously deranged people walking among us! I watched the Sixth Commandment recently. Thought it was really well done and well acted. It may have gone beyond the brief of the producer/writer but I would have liked a bit more on why Ben Field acted the way he did. We need to understand why some people act the way they do but maybe there is always something irrational about evil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some seriously deranged people walking among us! Fuck knows what Strathclyde Polis and the PF were doing to not only get a not proven verdict initially but also to get a retrial knocked back in 2016 even though they submitted new evidence Even though the cunt died of cancer in 2017 it's good knowing he spent most of his freedom looking over his shoulder and wondering if this was the day someone would get him I know for certain that it was only due to the wishes of Amanda's parents being respected that he wasnt topped He still had to move well away to Cornwall though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
