What happens if there are riots in the West Midlands - will they stay in their stations cowering? Reply to this message | Report message

All police officers know they may face life threatening situations during their daily duties, but the threat of being targeted at random purely for the purpose of being killed and possibly tortured first is a much more worrying thing. The OP's comment is a bit out of order. Reply to this message | Report message       2

In fact if it was anybody else I'd say it should be deleted. But in this case it shows how Roger thinks and posts on this forum. Quite telling if you ask me... Unless in his defence he didn't read the article he linked to and went only by the title. Last edited by: rtj70 on Tue 9 Dec 14 at 17:00 Reply to this message | Report message       2

Hands up I was incorrect - that's what happens when I post too quickly before scooting out to the Doctor's for a prescription. (Happy pills!) Apologies all round. Grovel. Reply to this message | Report message

It's the headline that's grossly misleading. All papers do it now - they are so eager to display a punchy headline, usually of criticism, that they distort the real story. So if you read the whole thing, carefully, the report is usually correct, but if you just read the headline, it is wrong. It's an easy trap to fall into, in this quick-fire age when we are all programmed to respond only to sound-bites and instant judgements. Full credit to Roger for recognising that.

Ta - I confess I fell prey to the habit I've criticised in others the past, where a blaring headline IS the story - until you read the text. Anyway, I persuaded my nice Indian/Sri Lankan doctor to prescribe some more Tramadol (120 on a one off prescription, to be taken sparingly, I assure you) so you'll probably be able to tell from my postings whether I've taken a couple, or not :-) Grumpiness is aching-sciatica shaped.

Gout can strike in any part of the body. Whilst the foot is more common, you can get it in just about any joint. Drinking more water will do for a lot of people, but if you keep getting it, Allopurinol is pretty effective but once you start taking this drug, you must not stop. I know as I'm on Allopurinol.

I like gout - it's an arthritis I can actually cure! I've seen enough tough guys almost in tears from the weight of a bedsheet on their big toe to know it hurts a lot. The Romans used to eat autumn crocus apparently, to treat their gout - we still use this in medicine as colchicine - highly effective but very toxic in overdose, and great at causing diarrhoea if you take a few too many. Anti-inflammatories can be very effective but a good proportion of gout sufferers have it because of heart conditions (or the medicines used to treat them such as diuretics) and are perhaps not ideally suited for AIs. Steroids can be used for acute attacks but these would usually be 3rd line treatment. Once an acute attack is controlled, consideration of prevention (using daily doses of allopurinol, or more recently febuxostat) should be given especially if there has been more than one bout. Blood tests can confirm high levels of uric acid (crystals of this forming in the joints leads to the arthritis flaring) - preventative drugs are usually slowly increased until uric acid levels are low. Beer and whisky bad as is meat, wine probably little effect, cherry juice appears helpful. Reply to this message | Report message
