Bloody hell
H/t @hendopolis for the front page.

It seems Prince Michael of Kent was even willing to use his Kensington Palace home as the backdrop to impress clients.
OF COURSE, his business partner and friend, the Marquis of Reading, made it clear that the Prince’s services were supposed to be “confidential”.

“We wouldn’t want the world to know he was seeing Putin purely for business reasons”
In 2013 it was disclosed the Queen paid Prince Michael of Kent’s £120k a year rent on Kensington Palace out of her own resources
Here’s his wife, Princess Michael of Kent sporting a blackamoor brooch on her way to meet Megan Markle for a Christmas lunch - plenty of good cheer and Christian goodwill on display there.

Vulgar as they come.

NAVALNY:
“The head of the Omsk Ministry of Health, Alexander Murakhovsky, disappeared in the forest while hunting. Murakhovsky gained fame after Alexei Navalny was poisoned at the hospital he headed.
Over the past year, a number of hospital doctors have already resigned or died.”
“On March 26, after suffering a stroke in December, Rustam Agishev, head of the hospital's traumatology and orthopedics department, died”
“On Feb 4, Sergey Maksimishin, the deputy head of the hospital, died suddenly. The cause of death of the 55-year-old doctor in the hospital was not named.”

How long before the middle classes show their force saying they are now the “ignored” and “sneered at” particularly when so many have pulled themselves up by the bootstraps from poverty and have no wish to return there.
Meanwhile both main political parties fight over their version of “the working class”, currently with the Tories’ aspirational version seemingly gaining ascendency in many places at present.
Labour presents its version as “looking after” the working classes when I am guessing many want to get out of it. Certainly my parents did.

So it may be a question of emphasis and packaging

What are the steps to improving our own lives?

How do we foster the best in ourselves?

Are our courts a playground for bullies? Just ask Catherine Belton | Nick Cohen | The Guardian

Superb from ⁦@NickCohen4⁩

These billionaires aren’t just suing Harper Collins. They are suing the journalist personally, ⁦@CatherineBelton⁩
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
“They have brought their cases to dear old London town, with its quaint judges in 18th-century wigs and gowns and gothic courtrooms, and with laws that can look as if they are made to match, for all their claims to modernity.”
“As Belton appeared to foresee, London’s lawyers are hard at work. Carter-Ruck, CMS, Harbottle & Lewis and Taylor Wessing have a billionaire apiece in a kind of socialism of the litigious.”

This seems to confuse duties of confidence to individuals that arise out of the relationship between medical professionals & patients (to which there are exceptions - rarely exercised), the disclosure of personal identifiable data that may apply to other organisations.
In other words the starting point is the legal relationship between you and the individual.

The Dept of Health, for instance, has provided quite detailed guidance to people working in the NHS on this and also the rare exceptions.

Of course duties of confidence (when they arise) have to be seen in the context of clear informed consent.

If the patient gives their INFORMED consent then the duty of confidence goes but is limited to the terms of the consent.

Picture of two pandemics: Covid cases fall in rich west as poorer nations suffer | Coronavirus | The Guardian

More cases have been reported in the past two weeks than in the entire first six months of the pandemic, with south Asia bearing the brunt. theguardian.com/world/2021/may…
“Africa now accounts for only 1% of vaccine doses administered globally, the WHO said, down from 2% a few weeks ago, as other regions’ vaccine distribution programmes are progressing much faster”.
“The first vaccines deliveries to 41 African countries under the Covax scheme began in March, but nine countries have so far administered only a quarter of the doses received, while 15 countries have used less than half of their allocations.”

“Politicians, like priests, will always make their easiest converts among “the weak, the unlucky, the resentful, the fearful and the poor”. We should care for these people, of course we should, but not always for their views.” thetimes.co.uk/article/the-po…
The problem is not so much Starmer as his boss, the Labour Party.

I have great admiration for many of the Party’s MPs but the context in which they operate is one of a never ending, exhausting, bitter political in fight leading to bad policies to appease the unwise.
As for Johnson.

“There’s no spray-on defeat for this man. Why do we think the voters haven’t yet cottoned on? They have. And they aren’t bothered. When you keep telling people something and they don’t seem to take any notice,
