[“My toothache got so bad to the point it hurts to even swallow water, the left side of my face has ballooned to the point where I look like I’m morbidly obese and I was up all night with a temperature that I have needed to get medical intervention.
Rang the emergency dentist many times and couldn’t even get through
called 111 and was met with “I’m not medically trained enough other than to give you a text message of what you COULD do”
called the doctors and had to say that I have a learning disability in order to even be able to speak with someone. Then was met with “we don’t deal with teeth” despite explaining that I only needed some antibiotics currently as a dentist wouldn’t touch my teeth anyway until the infection cleared and I can’t get help from them.
pharmacy won’t touch me given it’s not classed as a minor infection
ended up going to A&E to then be told I’m better off at another building on site
they have said they MAY be able
to prescribe me antibiotics given the severity of the situation but they don’t generally do it due to the same rules as the doctors and now I have to wait to see if I can get them
All of these steps could have been avoided if I was already registered under an NHS dentist.
Neglecting dentistry services is damaging the entire NHS ecosystem and partly causing wait times to soar.
The government seriously needs to address this.
There are also people who are not as pushy as myself who would have just given up and likely developed a very serious infection if not treated.
The thought that people could be potentially dying of a tooth infection in a first world country is absolutely appalling.“]

A similar problem occurred a couple of years ago, when the only NHS dentist in our wider area (about a 10-mile radius) let down my wife over a Friday afternoon appointment without notice, its reception staff then giving us completely incorrect information about NHS A&E, and also lying about having sent a cancellation in advance.
Fortunately, there was one (only one) private dentist open the next day, a Saturday; about 10 miles away. My wife therefore spent a night in great pain, but was dealt with the following day by the private dentist, and very satisfactorily. We then both de-registered with the NHS place, and registered at separate private dentists, both of which are very good.
All well and good, but what if we had not had the option of going private? The cost was not enormous (I think that my wife’s immediate treatment was about £250 or £300) but I have certainly had times in my own life when I might not have been able to raise that sort of sum (which to many people may seem a trivial amount; but that is, of course, only so if you are not short of money).
On the wider point, I have always questioned why one needs a rubber-stamp from “a man in a white coat” to access medicines at all. Yes, there is a risk when members of the public self-prescribe, so advice should certainly be available, but it is almost ludicrous that one needs a “prescription” from an authority-figure (doctor, dentist etc) in order to get things. State dictatorship (supposedly for people’s own good).
British people (and other people) often tend to assume that the way things are done in the UK (or wherever) is the only way they can be done.
When I lived for a year in Almaty, Kazakhstan, I needed a few things which, in principle, required a doctor’s certificate or similar. Believe it or not, vitamin C was one! I had run out of multivitamins (bought in London), and found that (at that time, 1996, maybe now it is different) you actually needed a prescription to get some!
I don’t usually put up with bureaucratic nonsense like that if I can avoid or evade it, so I pulled a couple of strings, and managed to have provided some very inadequate Soviet-style capsules, red fluid, which contained about a tenth of the vitamin C of ones easily bought in any supermarket in the UK.
The same happened when I had a sudden and very inconvenient ear-wax problem. In theory, I should have gone through a whole rigmarole to get treatment, but the wife of a Russian colonel I knew took me to an almost deserted large hospital, and had me seen at once, no questions asked.
The third such incident was not really medical at all. I wanted to swim in one of the public pools, and that apparently required a medical examination first! Again, though, a little light influence got me in, though in the event the pool was rather crowded, so I only swam there once.
Actually, the Kazakhs, heir to Soviet rule, loved their rubber stamps. They even had a government office called the Bureau of Rubber Stamps. I had to deal with it once when I needed a rubber stamp for my work. You first had to verify your existence by means of official letters, visas, and certificates, after which you submitted a (suitably verified and stamped) design, after which (if approved), you were directed to places considered suitable to produce the stamp.
On that occasion, I did go through the “proper channels” (in case some later bureaucrat checked), but a colleague with a similar problem just said “**** it!” and had one sent from London.
As I said, though, that was 30 years ago (incredibly); I doubt whether any of that would apply in 2026.

If there is a massive nuclear war, the proportion of European/white people will be even smaller, because Europe, Russia, North America will be the areas hit worst.
Is that why “they” (((the usual suspects))) are pushing for war with Russia?
A 5-min interview, in all. Worth seeing, especially the naive English idiot at the end, who “only sees the good in people” but wants to emigrate.
I blogged about all that the day before yesterday.
As with many topics in the UK (Muslim takeover by numbers, Jewish exploitation and takeover by other means, and what should be done with most MPs and journalists etc), we are “not allowed” to express our uncensored thoughts these days.
I am surprised that Kemi Badenoch is still the leader of the now all-but-irrelevant “Conservative” Party; thought they would have dumped her by the end of 2025. Seems that the Con Party has lost its once-famous killer instinct.
For me, leaving aside the Israel lobby cover-up, what is astonishing is that (on the facts as claimed) someone walking down Whitehall, the very centre of UK government power (such as it now is) can have his telephone snatched without, it seems, the police even being aware at the time, let alone actually apprehending the culprit. Yet we hear all the time that “London is OK, London is safe“…
Trump is over, anyway. In June, he will be 80-y-o and, by the time of the 2028 Presidential election, 82 but, more importantly, he shows signs of mental deterioration. Biden’s dementia was concealed (though not very well), but Trump is filmed saying things, constantly, and many of those things are the reverse of what he said the day before, or will say the next day.
Kemi Badenoch is a Conservative Friends of Israel member, and puppet of the Jewish/Israel lobby. Is she going to re-ignite public interest in what was plainly an Israeli Intelligence operation (the Epstein/Lolita Express/Lolita Island matter)? I think not.
Translates to a Commons with about 320 Reform UK MPs (6 short of overall majority), 83 Cons (weak official Opposition), 66 LibDems, 57 Lab, 50 Greens, 45 SNP [etc].
As with other recent polls, on those figures Starmer would lose his own seat.
Quite. “They” are always the “victims”, in their own warped minds, even when killing children or harvesting the organs of real victims.
A perennial whine…
[“They had me fired. Arrested 4 times. Suspended my medical licence. Smeared me in every paper.
Now the British zionist jewish lobby is attacking my fundraiser!
It cost me £90,000 to defend my licence. I live on what remains of my life savings.
I set up a Chuffed fundraiser to tackle police harassment and keep me on my feet. Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) is now threatening Chuffed with police action.
They want to destroy me.
I am a Palestinian and a British citizen. I have never had a patient complaint. Never broken the law. Worked for 7 years in the NHS. Cared for my fellow British citizens. Paid my taxes.
My crime?
I opposed genocide and jewish supremacy. Exposed their grip on Britain.
That’s it.
My response:
{فَٱقْضِ مَآ أَنتَ قَاضٍ ۖ إِنَّمَا تَقْضِى هَٰذِهِ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَآ}So do whatever you want! Your authority only covers the ˹fleeting˺ life of this world. Qur’an 20:72
I would do it all over again. Everything I did was to save the lives of the Palestinian people being murdered by the jewish occupation. And to stop the British government from using my taxes to arm them.
May justice and truth prevail.
We fear God only.
Free Palestine and Britain from jewish supremacy.”]

[“What is happening to this bloody country!!! My daughter has been informed by school that her TWELVE year old daughter (my granddaughter) has been found on a ‘stab list’.
So the son of recent African immigrants, who has only been here maybe a year and has been caught at least twice with a knife at school, has now created a list of girls he intends to stab for shunning his advances.
He is STILL in school. This madness has to end. Either the establishment are on the side of good people or good people will take things into their own hands.
She’s 12yo for gods sake and has to now walk around school with the threat of being stabbed at any moment.“]
