DRAFT: A comment on rioting and looting
Riots and looting has commandered the attention of corporate media.
Take a look at how armoured and defended these riot policemen are.
They’ve got armouring at their forearms, their elbows, their backs, their shoulders, their chests, their privates, their hips, their upper legs, their knees, their shins and their feet. They have crash helmets with visors. W(here)TF are they not protected? As well as that they have shields and big truncheons that they are most definitely not scared to use against democratic non-violent protestors.

Coming soon a comment on rioting and looting.

An editorial in the British Medical Journal written by six obstetricians says most maternal deaths are now caused by treatable medical conditions.
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists says too few doctors means warning signs can be missed.
…
Increasing numbers of women with often complex medical conditions are now becoming pregnant or seeking fertility advice. And with more women delaying starting a family, doctors are now seeing more older women with complicated pregnancies.
The latest review of UK maternity services – the Confidential Enquiry into Maternal Deaths report – found that although the overall maternal death rate has been declining, there has been an increase in maternal deaths associated with existing medical conditions, like diabetes, epilepsy, asthma or heart failure.
And many of these are linked with substandard care, meaning more could have been done by healthcare professionals.
In a third of these cases, different care might have actually prevented the death of the mother.
