"If you have called 999 in the past couple of years, you have played a lethal lottery, captured vividly by the Dispatches investigation Undercover Ambulance: NHS in Chaos"

Review of last night's harrowing #Dispatches programme.

(I confess I started watching but couldn't go on. My late husband was reached in minutes 14 years ago when I called 999. In today's deliberately defunded #NHS he would have died waiting on the bathroom floor).

Monitoring #scanner because we have a couple #dispatches that could be #breakingnews #sandiego

Using this to test the system as well for #disemination of news

And it was, thankfully, a #dud. See how well this spreads through the #Fediverse

Better check with what seems to be a minor emergency than a #fivealarmfire

#Dispatches it’s a shame you have a blind spot about abuse like this. In my lifetime no politician has endured more abuse than Jeremy Corbyn.

It is little short of scandalous that a documentary about the abuse MPs get (they shouldn't get any, of course) should fail to even mention Corbyn, the most routinely and systematically vilified figure in modern Britain.

Illegal child labour is being used to supply cocoa beans to Cadbury – Britain’s favourite chocolate brand.

#Dispatches has been undercover in Ghana where children as young as 10 have been working gruelling hours to supply cocoa beans to Cadbury.

RT @C4Dispatches: Here’s where your so-called ‘ethical’ chocolate is really coming from.

Farms supplying cocoa beans for Cadbury’s chocolate are using illegal child labour - including children as young as 10, #Dispatches has discovered.

I am not GRT but I have been subject to anti-GRT verbal abuse and fear for anti-GRT violence.

#Channel4 put me at risk also with their #Racist #Dispatches programme.
