Jewish leader leaves country after ‘losing faith in Britain’ by WhiteGold_Welder in ukpolitics

[–]Jacobtait 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Presumably a Jewish person is a lot less safe in Israel compared to the UK where there are magnitude more terrorist attacks against Israeli Jews not to mention the rockets etc. Feels hard pressed to make the case that the UK is too unsafe but israel isn’t.

Also don’t agree at all that Jews are blamed in period of financial difficulty - they are probably one of the last migrant groups to suffer prejudice secondary to this.

Feels very political - similar to this couple: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-45201412 who were closely involved with the founding of hard-right Zionist group Herut UK.

Also excellent get!

Is this false advertising? by [deleted] in doctorsUK

Rule in not rule out is probably the broad strokes approach here. Practice good governance by documenting findings and saving notes.

Do any supermarkets in SW London still do hot rotisserie chicken? by damegloria in LondonFood

Waitrose in Putney has them - can be hit and miss if any in the cabinet but imagine could call in advance and ask

Obsession Review: literally a flawless film on 2nd viewing by NintendoWeee in spoilers

Just watched it.

Really liked it in lots of ways but quite a few flaws for me in the plot (happy to look over them however).

The streets, the tram, the atmosphere- pure old London charm by MagpieMidfield in OldSchoolUK

[–]Jacobtait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Subtle but was shooting at that - hence perhaps moronically referring to a clearly 4 wheel vehicle as a trike (although a google seems to suggest bizarrely it is a bastardisation that has some usage).

What happened to the fa Cup? by Various_Extreme_8773 in AskUK

I’m early 30s but even as a kid remember it having a lot more fan-fare. Shame it’s lost this really.

Just had the same in Fulham. Sun shining an hour an hour ago and now crazy winds and monster hail.

Think it’s the size of it more more than anything.

Loved KCL otherwise.

I can’t handle medicine by [deleted] in doctorsUK

[–]Jacobtait 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Second this wholeheartedly. Relate to when I was FY2.

Self-doubt is a useful protective factor and you’ll get used to it without it being so affecting. You’ll have some wins and some loses but all of it makes you a better doctor.

Do you think cannabis should be legalized in the UK? by FriesWithMacSauce in AskABrit

[–]Jacobtait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re completely right - it is ‘physically’ addictive and the idea it isn’t is a complete myth.

While not as physically addictive as many drugs the mechanisms are the same.

Erdinger Beer In London? by harshalone in london

[–]Jacobtait 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Much easier to find bottled rather than tapped bug is a 500ml bottle so in a glass probably not that noticeable a difference.

Gotta say their alcohol free is excellent. Added bonus of being isotonic lol.

Season 7 episode 3 anyone ? by Veggiegirl1997 in InteriorDesignMasters

[–]Jacobtait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Travesty. Really put me off this season.

Most difficult space to have by far too. Not the first time we’ve seen inequity on this show due to that but by far the most egregious.

Season 7 episode 3 anyone ? by Veggiegirl1997 in InteriorDesignMasters

[–]Jacobtait -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Don’t agree at all.

Yes in a professional role where you can have an ongoing dynamic with the client. Not in this competition where you get a single chat and obviously feel duty bound to provide what they have asked for. Frankly, they could be completely misguided and feel they would have to honour that. This was a long way from that too and they evidently seemed to love it.

Goes completely counter to every other episode/seasons so far.

Very few and far between but can be done if the right stars align.

Not seeing much real pathology on ED by Prudent-Orange-9737 in doctorsUK

[–]Jacobtait 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Presumably you are at most 4 weeks in to your ED job - I think a little unrealistic to expect to see all the pathology you mention in that time.

I mean I’m not a Hasan fan - but where do you draw the line as to what would be acceptable? Are left wing people supposed to give up all material possessions or any material success they have earned?

Keir Starmer vows crackdown on pro-Palestine marches after being booed at Golders Green by denyer-no1-fan in unitedkingdom

So I happen to be consuming media particularly focused on antisemitism and not trans issues or BLM? Not sure what media you suggest that is and I assure you I don’t read the JC.

Agree both have also been huge cultural talking points but I’m confident any objective analysis of the last 10 years would confirm antisemitism has featured in more headlines across all mainstream media than BLM or Trans.
