The electorate are also sick to death of elections and electioneering. I'm interested and engaged with politics as clearly most on here are, but even I was sick to the back teeth of turning the TV on, only to find them droning on about the election AGAIN.

Calling another one quickly would be suicide.

Agree. Brenda from Bristol many be mocked, but perhaps her sentiment was closer to public opinion.

That said, I think the media smell blood and will pursue May until she falls. It will then badger whoever becomes Prime Minister into holding another election.
 
PHI was a fucking debt disaster. New shiney hospitals that we have to pay for at fecking humongous interest rates before the debt is gone.

It's chewing up a huge chunk of the NHS budget forever if there was anything that needs nationalising it's these PHI companies with deferred payments to the current owners at reasonable long term interest rates with the rest of the money sunk into new NHS infrastructure projects.
Actually compulsory purchase of the debt at poor interest rates would be easier and save the same stack of money.

I agree I am sick of it. I know politicians like the sound of their own voice and would prefer to sit about all day debating various bollox , over and over , again and again. But ffs the idea is a party becomes a government and then things get done and they try and make the country better , like making decisions and doing things.

Will someone start doing some fucking proper work please!!!!
 
You would still need designers, sales, installers, project managers, service, maintenance and emergency breakdown staff to facilitate the use of any robot/machine. Teams of staff just to keep the robots going. Then the companies who employ that work force will still need, admin, receptionists, payroll clerks, middle and top level management, accountants, cleaners. The office they work at will still have to function so you will need stationary suppliers, drivers to deliver those supplies, furniture makers, computers/IT staff, builders to build the buildings they work in, utilities, transportation to get them to work, someone to feed those staff........ I could literally go on forever. AI/automation will, and is, replacing some jobs undoubtedly but I can't see it being anything like the description you posted. Now whether or not we will have the skills available is another question but again I disagree everyone will need a computer programming degree.
I'm sure we can persuade robots to do a big chunk of those jobs.
 
Yes. People who have computer programming degrees and have an experience with neural network based AI for example. Like me. And I'm pretty sure you're all fucked.
What programming languages are we talking here? Can I get by with just Java and Python or am I going to have to finally commit to really learning C/C++?

If you have to ask this question, there's a good chance you're fucked too.

Out of all of them, the only ones they can't do is sales. And I'm not that convinced on that tbh

So the future will be sales, programmers and upper management.

We'll have 80 million people in the country in 20 years. I'm sure you're beginning to see the problem.
 
Video on automation problem. It's a bit shit but pay attention to the project management software. That's available right now and already used.

 
Tell her to stop whinging to you then and start talking to her managers who can do something about it
She's not backwards at comming forward.
For political reasons. Inbuilt socialist forces within the NHS don't want payment machines in hospitals or GP surgeries even if you are just using them for collecting card details. Similarly senior managers have serious conflicts of interest with PFI organisations as do politicians both Labour and Conservative.

You didnt see much of may though did you? I think there could be another one in 2 years or so and i hope the newly engaged youth vote stay engaged. They are not battered by years of promise and lies which is why i find it refreshing. Almost a new broom.

I misread this at first and thought you had said it will be "badger" who becomes Prime Minister until he holds another election. Made me laugh... until I realised I cannot read :-)

Between her NHS work and private clinics....

My missus did 30 years in total in the NHS lastly running a centre of excellence at the infamous Stafford Hospital and in all that time the red tape has dragged the service down...

Too many non medical managers in situ seems to be the problem.. good managers we hope but with no patient skills.

Nursing is a vocation and not simply a career choice.. it's about heart as much as technical expertise
 
Corbyn sacked his cabinet two or three times didn't he,his party was in full revolt and he didn't have to resign ,but May has to resign because she won an election,doesnt make sense
