All but one of my asthma medications come from the UK, the EU manufactured one is still being prescribed and available.

I have had problems with my meds already. A consultant called Jacob Rees mogg a Muppet the other day as he talked about the threat to those reliant on imported meds. He dared him to take him to the GMC. One has to assume that he knows what he's talking about.

Whaaat?!
A consultant called Jacob Rees Mogg? ?
JRM is a Conservative MP who is now Leader Of The House Of Commons ( a Cabinet position.)

But presumably an oncologist knows a bit more about treating patients and the conditions he has to work in than J tres smugg. I know who I’d rather trust if I needed medical opinions.

I’m a little confused about what Jacob Rees-Mogg was actually saying as I didn’t see the interview. Rees-Mogg is a politician, not a doctor, therefore I’m assuming he was discussing the availability of medicines. I’m not sure what the GMC has to do with him as he’s not a medical doctor.

Labaik Tue 03-Sept-19 12:42:56

It was a helpful suggestion...

UKIP ALL THE WAY. FED UP WITH TORIES /LABOUR SAME OLD C**P. different day different story...same old rubbish.

Would you have found it easier to understand Daisymae had said "A consultant 'phoned' Jacob Rees Mogg ..." or do you need pictures with your words?

We all miss-read things but you could have apologised when you realised.

Framilode Tue 03-Sept-19 12:46:38

Yes, that's the answer. Don't listen, don't think, just shout.

maddyone Tue 03-Sept-19 13:04:37

I see, nasty.

Labaik Tue 03-Sept-19 13:13:01

I don't think it would be nasty to share your medicine with people that can't get hold of any...
