Somewhat ironic that he should say this late night on the day Johnson, self-proclaimed do-er of brexit, visited. Russia's aggression targets all of Europe - Zelensky https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-europe-61032786

... as a nuclear bomber. At least, that is what I always thought. Hence, the huge range. Get to first target, go on to second target (if necessary) then fail to get home. And individual nuclear bombs were very large and heavy, hence its capacity.

I have a feeling they might be getting the bad side of USSR days - without the benefits such as state arranged holidays, low prices, etc.

Numbers vary all over the place. UK is fairly standardised on 28. But many countries go for 30. Other common numbers are 50, 90, 98, 100. There are specialized companies which will take in, say, medicines in 30s and repackage them in 28s. Or vice versa. Typically, when stock needs to move...

Packaging is crucial for many products. Levothyroxine is susceptible to reduced potency due to light, oxygen, humidity and heat. Further, the precise chemical form varies - with it changing between anhydrous and pentahydrate and possible intermediates. The blister packs must be properly...

It depends very much on what you mean by "drugs"! There are, broadly, two components to most medicines: the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient(s) (API) and the Excipients (inactive ingredients). The pharmaceutical industry is very closed. We simply do not know where the actual pill makers get...

I'd have been content if the decision of one committee of civil servants' decision had been accepted, and not replaced by the decision of another committee of civil servants. When two such committees disagree, somehow it is always seems to be the less palatable decision that stands.

Afraid review dates are a bad joke. The usual regime is one test a year. Which completely ignores things that affect our need for thyroid hormone - such as temperature and activity levels. If you happen to be tested in the summer, after a few days of low activity, you could well end up with...

I found it ridiculous that the report from the Commission on Human Medicines report - prepared for the MHRA - expressly said that three months was appropriate. While that is what I now get, most patients get 28 or 56. Doctors, CCGs, etc., up and down the land are ignoring this. Levothyroxine...

I actually get 84 days! But when I lived in England, I had to argue to get 56 days rather than 28. And the levothyroxine costs less than a pound a pack of 28. The dispensing charges over three months are greater than any possible savings. The insistence on 28-day prescribing reached a...

As someone who, along with partner, relies on daily medicine, the lack of necessary medical supplies is always at the top of our list when thinking about such situations. The UK's dogmatic insistence on 28-day prescribing would have me very concerned if there were any military action within the...

I think you are referring to the first explosive event there on the first of April. Ukraine have denied that - but who knows the truth? The one I was wondering about was the missile(s) without any helicopters. Earlier today.

If this story is true, what is behind it? Conflict Intelligence Team: Missile hitting Belgorod Oblast came from Russia. Observers from the CIT report that the missile that fell in the village of Nikolskoye in Russia’s Belgorod Oblast on April 1 came from the country’s northeast or east, ruling...

I didn't say it was Stormont that would decide. Just questioning what will be decided.

I believe Northern Ireland doesn't have Council Tax - but some rates system. Wonder if the same approach will be applied there? And what will happen to people who move house, especially to a higher band in a different nation.

Are Exocets still up to attacking Russian ships? Their origin, at least, is rather long in the tooth. And, having been around so long, Russia might be able to defend against it rather more effectively than the UK and USA have in the past.

I'm certainly not believing it. But nor am I dismissing it all. He does look very different. The ship that was destroyed was probably an uncomfortable reminder of unpleasant possibilities to the Russian navy.

Rumours of him having cancer go back to 2014. On that basis, he could have been treated then and survived this long due to surgery and ongoing treatment. Cancer locations seem to have gone round bowel, pancreas, spinal cord as well as thyroid - and, unless due to metastasis, they can't all be...

Yesterday, there was extremely widespread reporting of the possibility that Putin has thyroid cancer. Seems he is more or less permanently accompanied by a thyroid surgeon and an ENT expert as well as many, many occasions there have been cancer experts. Suggested it is terminal. Most thyroid...

I really didn't get the full picture of why anyone shuffled 750,00 around and why PA was involved.
