Haven't seen it discussed anywhere, but as some of you may know, there are plans afoot to datamine your medical history and sell it to third parties, ostensibly for research purposes, but an FT article on it notes that the NHS has been completely silent on exactly where it will be used.

You can, however, opt out of this, and the deadline to do so is today.

You can do it online: https://digital.nhs.uk/your-data/opting ... ta-sharing

I think the initial deadline for this was pushed back to later this year.

Oh, ok, another couple of months it looks like:

However, it does take less than 60 seconds to do online if you know your NHS number, and only fractionally more if you don't as you get a pass-code texted to your mobile using your postcode, so worth doing while it's in your mind.

The video they did about how he discovered he was sick was a bit scary, basically if your coordination starts to go array get it checked out! Was also a very funny video as they just take the piss out of him :lol:

So if I've read that right... he's still guilty of sexual assault but because of some agreement he shouldn't have been tried for it. But he probably (innocent until proven guilty) still did all those other things alleged against him.
