@thiesmarsen @jonburr @tazgetroete I want a message sent. Israelis are left in ignorance of what most of the world thinks about what they are doing. There a tiny amount of sanctions but pin pricks. I'd like El Al to be treated like Aeroflot and banned. But a loud message needs to be sent

@Nonilex why not focussed on all the other armaments you send? I forgot US send dollar military aid to Israel for them to spend with US arms makers and this is an election year and those arms companies have loads of cash and their employees loads of votes. Gazans have no cash and no votes and often no lives or limbs.

Today and probably for weeks the news will be full of an endless queue of politicians and press telling the people of Scotland how we should run our affairs. The vast vast majority of these people will be English and will never have lived or worked in Scotland. Can anyone see why the desire for independence doesn't fall?

Israel wants Sec General of UN to resign and is refusing visas to UN staff to visit, after killing 35 UN staff in Gaza. They have become a terrorist nation by ignoring the rule of law, ignoring the UN, killing children in massive numbers. Perhaps they and Russia and N Korea should form their own United Nations and own international laws.

Is the answer to 'dental deserts' to force newly trained dentists to work for the NHS for the first years of their career (or to pay back the costs of their training)?

Well, unless Labour adopt such an approach we may never know, but the crisis in NHS dentistry might be alleviated by some form of national service requirement from dentists (alongside a better funding model!)?.

It may not be the best answer, but these are desperate times in dentistry.

@emmalbriant It must be awful to have the same name as somebody who is famous for reasons that you wouldn't want attributed to you. In Melbourne a netball centre is lying unused . The name is the Fiona Richmond Centre. Now many men of a certain age will smirk as they see that especially the Brits. In the UK Fiona Richmond had the car number plate FU2 - she was a porn star and girlfriend of the pornography king Paul Raymond.
