King Charles who loves killing foxes, birds, and badgers has been made Patron of the RSPCA. King Charles used his power to block a ban on Fox Hunting and to make sure it is the joke ban we currently have. RT if the RSPCA should remove him.

🗣️The findings confirm that there is not enough information explaining to the general public what clinical trials are and that a population-wide approach to raising awareness of clinical trials is needed. @NUTH_NMAHPRes @ECMC_UK @NIHRresearch @NuTHResearch @NIHRCRN_NENCumb

🗣️Amazing man with an amazing legacy❤️
Sir Bobby died on this day, 15 years ago. We miss his input and enthusiasm. We know he'd be proud to know the work he began continues – and that he'd not expect us to let up. Today we had a committee meeting, as ever with members of his family involved. Thank you Sir Bobby.❤️
