If the main character isn't voiced by David Jason then it shouldn't be allowed.

I will say that there has also been a change in the way that deaths are being recorded after the thing that came out a year or two ago about deaths being under reported. That DoH response is true and will be responsible for some of the increase

The query would be, what proportion of the unexpected deaths were avoidable?

Reality Check: Are the strongest Leave and Remain constituencies Labour?

The BBC did a fact check on the claim that 6 most leave and remain constituencies were Labour ones. Turns out the it's split evenly with the top 3 going to conservatives for Leave and SNP for remain, though to be fair that doesn't help much with Labours conundrum. Plus the linked analysis shows that if the Brexit vote was held on a FPTP basis then it would have been a strong Leave victory (61% of constituencies were majority leave), but it does also shows that Labour as whole was more pro-remain than pro-leave. While the Tories actually have a huge amount of leave voting constituencies (not surprising but it's interesting to look at it from a constituency viewpoint).

Sure there were those linked maps showing Brexit/Labour support overlap, but being geographic they likely overestimated the impact of rural areas.

I do expect that at least some of the 'additional' deaths do come from changes in reporting, and more accuracy and transparency is definitely good. I'm skeptical that it could increase by that proportion though. I hope I'm wrong and that there's no actual change in numbers, only better reporting.

Basically an unexpected death is pretty much what it says on the tin. There's a whole bunch of rules about what is and isn't unexpected, but a general rule of thumb is to take a given person and ask yourself "would I be surprised if this person dies soon". An unexpected death can have any cause, with the most common being sudden acute heart conditions (the bbcs wording is a bit sensationalist in this regard as it leaps straight to suicide and neglect).

The recent change in recording, at least for the trusts I've worked for, is that you now have to report all deaths of service users that occur within a year of discharge (that you have been made aware of). Obviously this will increase the number of deaths a trust has to report.

That's why I ask whether the statistics the BBC uses is the total number of "unexpected" deaths recorded by mh trusts, or the number of " unexpected avoidable" deaths that may be the result of a service failure

I said it before and I'll say it again, Britain's greatest hope post-Brexit is to re-form the UK-Japan alliance since we're both xenophobic islands off the coast of the Eurasian continental mainland who have a national obsession with unrealistic fantasy.

It's more that they look at it, think "ugh American culture is trash, we're much better, remember the Wombles!" then go back to writing garbage.

Pretty much the only thing I'm happy for my daughter to watch right now is Puffin Rock and that's Irish. Modern kids TV is garbage.

Bring back Ivor the Engine (but don't make new episodes or anything, just show the old ones forever) and maybe the Herbs too.

Peppa Pig is actually great and I will fight anyone who says otherwise

the model UN episode is worth it all by itself

Also the VA who does Daddy Pig also did the voice work in the original Dungeon Keeper, which pleases me greatly
