  A Conservative councillor in Cullingworth (a village near Bradford) writes about his interaction with a doctor in his local surgery:

  I went to Cullingworth Surgery this morning to see the doctor. Don’t do this too often as it usually leads to a massive rant about the uselessness of the appointments system and the idiocy of NHS bureaucracy. Today was different.

  Leaving aside making us poorly folk wait outside in the pouring rain for ten minutes, everything went smoothly – went in asked for appointment and got one for 8.30am with Dr Khan. And here starts the real story of the visit.

  Dr Khan is new – to me at least – and I was quite taken aback on entering the consulting room to find that the Doctor was not only Muslim but quite obviously a Muslim woman.

  Goodness, a Khaled Diab comment piece I can actually agree with:

  Similarly, the 7/7 and 9/11 theories feed off a deep well of distrust dug by other lies. It seems clear to me that the British and American publics were misled in the run-up to the Iraq war, with all the fanciful claims of fictional weapons of mass destruction and the non-existent and farcical link between Saddam Hussein and his sworn enemies al-Qaida. Now that’s a conspiracy, if ever there was one. Instead of giving any credence to 7/7 or 9/11 conspiracy theories, we should dedicate our efforts to campaigning for a proper public inquiry into the real deceptions that took place and demand that those responsible be brought to justice.
