Private equity buys UK fertility clinics. PE already controls social care, hospitals, GP surgeries, dentistry, child fostering. Usual business model. High debt, quality of care declines, prices increase, high profits. When things go wrong, NHS has to step in, PE doesn't pay.

Mensen uit #Gouda: hok met bed gezocht. Bouwvakkers zijn zeldzaam. Wie weet iets?

Sound familiar?

There's polderprikker.nl, and earlier already maptap.gg . Now there's also britm.app 🎉 Similar but different: there's a theme, with the stories afterwards in a much more accessible format

Deze column van Frits Abrahams in @nrc.nl. Deze beschaafde woorden vol pijn van Chaja Polak. Gooi ze in het gezicht van elke genocide-ontkenner, al is het maar omdat Netanyahu en zijn nazi’s de nagedachtenis van de Sjoa bezoedelen.

I have never seen coverage of a live trial, one involving allegations of multiple sex attacks on multiple women, framed in a more distasteful way. It's not 'Fame under fire' it's a rape trial. And it involves actual women. And this from the *checks notes* BBC

'What day is it?' asked Pooh. 'It’s our BIRTHDAY.' squeaked Piglet. 'My favourite day.' said Pooh. Happy 100th BIRTHDAY to Pooh and the gang! 🎂🎉 Pooh and his friends first appeared on the 14th October 1926 in #WinnieThePooh by A.A. Milne. #WinnieThePooh100 #onthisday

🚨 NEW: Kemi Badenoch's Conservatives have blocked Byline Times from attending their party conference, just weeks after she condemned Reform UK for banning critical journalists. Byline Times chief reporter Josiah Mortimer says his application was rejected without a specific reason.

It's international Black Dog Day! Didn't know that either until my friend @dagonet.eurosky.social mentioned it. Nothing to do with depression this time; it's about black dogs getting adopted less often and therefore euthanised sooner. (the pictured one is very much alive and kicking)

Er zijn bedenkingen over de manier waarop de chef politieke verslaggeving van de BBC omgaat met de plaatselijke PVV

Following on from Wednesday's Autumn Equinox, today is Autumn Equilux with day and night being equal. A balanceof light and dark at dawn here in Glastonbury this morning as the sun rose behind St Michael's tower on Glastonbury Tor.
