I really think Trump is the lesser of two evils now, Hillary is completely unfit to hold office.
Well the whole reason she used a private email server was after briefings about not being able to use her phone for email etc, so of course it's bollocks. How did a country of 300 million people find these 2 as candidates for POTUS.

There are two elements to training; the obvious one is the classification system (there are a few bells and whistles that people need to know about, like NO FORN). Then there's the handling system; what to do with classified paper documents, how to destroy them, whether copies are allowed and so forth. Similar concerns for electronic devices - especially disposal standards.
The cat is now very old and not doing much so we have started to look at the possibilities of holidays, maybe as early as next year. One place we would both like to visit is the Falkland Islands, but how to get there?
Leave aside for a moment my dislike of flying, there would seem to be two aeroplane routes. One run by a commercial company via Chile and one run by HMG out of RAF Brize Norton via Ascension. The RAF flight is a regular one for service purposes so it will be service standard of catering (crap food and no booze) and accommodation with some seats being flogged off to civies to make some cash for HMG. The Commercial service will be a commercial service with all the drawbacks and advantages that brings, it also requires an overnight stop in Chile.
The difference in price? £1100! HMG charges £2200 whilst the commercial airline charges £1100. The MoD is having a laugh.
Chile may well be worth a look in its own right, a shame to go all that way without a stopover.The Andes, the Fjords, the winelands and some interesting cities all quite accessible. Apparantly the Chilean accent is quite difficult even for native Spanish speakers, but the country has an official policy of bilingualism in English. The cost difference in flights may well pay for a weeks break.
If military history is your thing then there may well be specialist tours, and I expect these would take in the other sites along the way.
Surgeon Commander Jolly is an amazing man, I spent a very well lubricated night with him about 1985, his lecture on treatment of bullet wounds was revolutionary. It was based upon his work in Ulster in the Seventies, and led to the astonishingly good survival record at the base hospital at San Carlos Bay. This is despite extreme conditions including an unexploded bomb in the rafters.
Uniquely, he was decorated by both sides for his role in the same conflict.
Thanks for that Doc, if we do go we will almost certainly stop over in Chile for a week or so.
As for Surgeon-Captain Rick Jolly (as he became) his reputation throughout the Navy and the Army was, rightly, tremendous. He ran the first field hospital in military history in which no patients died. If you got to Rick Jolly's care alive then you would stay alive. That is big, big stuff to a squaddie going in under the guns.
As an aside I don't know if you are able to say to what extent the big advances in trauma care that happened in Afghanistan have been adopted in the NHS. The teams out there may not have been able to match Rick Jolly's record (possibly because casualty evacuation was quicker) but by all accounts there were some stunning advances made.

Quite. Both parties must wish they could turn the clock back and start the selection process again. They could pick pretty much anyone and they'd win a landslide against their incumbent opponent.
Over 200 million eligible candidates and they came up with these two. I think I'd probably vote for Gary Johnson if I had a vote, shame he's probably not going to make the debates.
nunu "This is so shocking, go to about 20mins in. In middle class Chester!"
Are you being serious or taking the P?
Why would you ask if I'm being serious? Or do u think what that woman experienced wasn't shocking? TSE is right you are thick.
People need to drop the Leave/Remain tribalism now.
You take her story as fact then. If you want "People to drop the Leave/Remain tribalism now" you would need to start with yourself and stop calling people stupid who supported LEAVE.
Nunu might take her story as fact but I think it's a made up crock of shite.
Each to their own, I guess.
Radio shows are particularly susceptible to hoax calls. It is very easy to bombard a show with calls from activists and those with an agenda.
I don't know what to make of the lady from Chester. Obviously very sad if true but the police spoke to her and she asked that they not take it any further.
Shes an elderly woman who was afraid of her neighbours that is probably why she doesn't want to take it further. She sounded really genuine to me, and I know of many people in London who have been abused since the vote many of them being told "we voted out, get out" Or something simmilar. It's not just anecdotal, there was a big surege after the vote to Leave.
Doesn't mean the debate or vote shouldn't of happened of course I just hope people reach out to people they know and make them feel welcome. Thats all, I don't understand this defensiveness by people on here saying"oh it's fake it's fake". " I don't believe it"! So quick to believe stories when it suits thier narratives.........
I think you are a disgusting human bieng. An elderly woman comes on radio describing her angst and you say it is all lies. You are pathetic, I pray you don't get attcked as others have as I know of.
You may or may not be right about my merits as a human being but you can definitely drop the idea of praying for me to your god.

What you mean it isn't a documentary on the Clintons under the guise of fiction (turning democrats into republicans, but still from the deep south)?
@patrick_kidd: Am on Virgin train. War with Corbyn endures. Guard just said: "For those moaning they have to sit on floor there are 132 empty seats today."
@patrick_kidd: Virgin guard goes on: "If you can't find an empty seat, may I suggest you try walking through more than one carriage before complaining"
I'd put money on the guard saying that was doing so off his own bat, not prompted by the company in any way at all. Railway people can be very proud and protective of their company.
Us SR folk have still not forgiven BR(WR) now GWR again for singling our main line to exeter damn near wrecking it after they took it over in a BR regional boundary change in 1963 and probably won't until it is restored to double track and the principle route to Exeter again.
Did you know that when the M5 was built, the Western Region got those responsible to design the bridge over the railway at Pinhoe to be wide enough for only one track?
I vaguely recall hearing a story that the highways agency offered to do a two track overbridge but they said dont worry one is enough or the highways lot are committed to widening it if asked which sounds very unlikely?
If you know more I am all ears.
The WR did try to shut all five stations between Honiton and Exeter, managed to shut three and all three have now reopened.
I've only heard that story second hand, but it sounds about right. If Crossrail 2 gets built and is done properly then two new lines should be built as far out as Hampton Court Junctions. That will free up capacity on the slow lines into Waterloo. At this point double tracking the line to Exeter would be a no brainer and you could run a very good service. It would require a bit of work in places - a dive under/fly over at Woking would really help, but it should definitely be up for consideration.
I think flyovers at both Woking and Bazingstoke are in the long term pipeline.
The studies for reopening the Exeter to Plymouth via Okehampton showed there would be three times as many passengers if the trains go to Waterloo not just a shuttle to exeter as network rails original study assumed.
Do you have linkies to those studies / reports please? I've obviously missed them, and it's something I'm interested in.
Rick Jolly was tremendously good man. He nearly signed me up by the end of the evening. The most genuinely inspirational man I think that I shall ever meet.
Military trauma is quite different to civilian trauma, not just in severity but also in the nature of the injuries so not always transferrable as a skill to the NHS. Nonetheless the services unit in Birmingham has done a lot for NHS trauma too. The closest I personally recall were motorcycle injuries and a microlight that stalled on takeoff. Multiple broken bones and traumatic amputation with a degloving injury. It is strange how the horror comes later, at the time it is a job of work and a challenging one.
In the Falklands a lot of the wounds were dirty and old by the time they arrived at the base hospital, particularly the Argentines. Jolly's teaching of delayed closure and debridement of necrotic tissue came into its own and saved many. Jolly also did some field autopsies that proved false the allegation that Argies had executed some captured Scots Guards.

"It doesn’t get more blatant than a staffer – whose name is redacted, but might be Bryan Pagliano, the IT staffer who invoked the Fifth Amendment over 125 times to avoid giving testimony on his actions – admitting he had an “oh, sh*t” moment when he realized her emails might still be where Congress, the FBI, and the American people could get at them:

What did she think it meant? Grading of how well written it was like some college paper?
FFS she was the Secretary of f*****g State. She clearly knew the "classified" annotation. Or should be disbarred for rank incompetence.
Classified documents & their handling systems are designed to make it blindingly obvious what classification they are. You have to willfully strip headers and para markers to obscure that fact. Anyone who's ever clapped eyes on one knows this.

Why would you ask if I'm being serious? Or do u think what that woman experienced wasn't shocking? TSE is right you are thick.
More insults from the so superior REMAINers..... I listened from the 20 mins point for about 5 mins and it was very hard to make out what she had suffered other than coming from Germany and someone told her "made your bed so you lie in it". So could you help and explain what exactly she had suffered and how that had been substantiated by some other evidence?
"More insults from the so superior REMAINers..... "- LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.
Clearly you didn't bother listening then, you heard what you wanted to.She said she has lived here since the 70's and her neighbours and people who she thought were her friends and had even gone on coach trips with said they could no longer be friends with her because she is "foreign" people hear her accent and shout abuse at her, she has had dog poo on her window and is very afraid. I'm not saying it's representative of LEAVE voters at all but I found it a few days ago and thought it was shocking. I hope we can reach out to people and make sure they know they feel valued.

Clinton classified emails -- who cares? Seriously. We've been up, down and round the block on this and still Americans tell pollsters they will vote for Hillary. Ah, but now it's combined with a health story. Reagan's too old, GW's too dumb, and Obama's not even American -- and all became president.

Trump requires all of FOP or he is done. Today has been a better polling day for him and 538 has narrowed all three models to around 70% for Clinton.

Most Scots realise that when the SNP politicians claim that the Brexit referendum result necessitates another indyref, they're speaking with forked tongues. If I were in the SNP, I wouldn't want another indyref. The result would be in favour of the union, and the SNP would be crushed in the following Scottish general election. The SNP leadership probably take exactly that view. They just have to demand things and say that the English (and sometimes other parties, such as the global ratings agencies) won't let them have them. That plays to their core market.

I dunno, Doc, consciously brooding doesn't seem to be necessary and nor does guilt. I don't do the first and have no feelings of the latter (I always did my duty to the best of my ability, why should I feel guilty). Yet the dreams come almost nightly. Just my subconcious getting its filing system sorted? I dunno.

Why would the SNP be crushed. Who would all the Indy voters suddenly start voting for?
The SNP at over 50 per cent a decade into Government and you think they have problems. Really.
Support for indy on this (the most hostile poll) at 46 per cent and you don't think Sturgeon will fire the starting gun. Salmond fired it at 27 per cent on YouGov and ended on 45 per cent!

Hillary really does think the law doesn't apply to her.
Sorry Officer, I didn't realise the speed limit was only 70mph - I was suffering from concussion...

Rick Jolly was tremendously good man. He nearly signed me up by the end of the evening. The most genuinely inspirational man I think that I shall ever meet.
Military trauma is quite different to civilian trauma, not just in severity but also in the nature of the injuries so not always transferrable as a skill to the NHS. Nonetheless the services unit in Birmingham has done a lot for NHS trauma too. The closest I personally recall were motorcycle injuries and a microlight that stalled on takeoff. Multiple broken bones and traumatic amputation with a degloving injury. It is strange how the horror comes later, at the time it is a job of work and a challenging one.
In the Falklands a lot of the wounds were dirty and old by the time they arrived at the base hospital, particularly the Argentines. Jolly's teaching of delayed closure and debridement of necrotic tissue came into its own and saved many. Jolly also did some field autopsies that proved false the allegation that Argies had executed some captured Scots Guards.

"It doesn’t get more blatant than a staffer – whose name is redacted, but might be Bryan Pagliano, the IT staffer who invoked the Fifth Amendment over 125 times to avoid giving testimony on his actions – admitting he had an “oh, sh*t” moment when he realized her emails might still be where Congress, the FBI, and the American people could get at them:
Remember FOP ....
Indeed anyone involved in far left politics in the Seventies and Eighties was banging like a belt fed bazooka...
Re dealing with the trauma and the horror coming later. That seems to be standard. At the time one is too focused on the job at hand it is only afterwards when the brain sorts out its filing system that the reality actually hits home. For some it is a night or two's disturbed sleep, for some the nightmares don't stop and for some the nightmares happen while they are awake. My own didn't start until long after I was retired but now they come most nights. Scotch before bedtime helps.
I think in my retirement that I too may brood over the mistakes I have made, and the consequences that these have had for others. Not many Doctors can be free of that burden.
The SNP at over 50 per cent a decade into Government and you think they have problems. Really.
Support for indy on this (the most hostile poll) at 46 per cent and you don't think Sturgeon will fire the starting gun. Salmond fired it at 27 per cent on YouGov and ended on 45 per cent!
I think she will set the date and win.
