Thursday.It's Brexit day isn't it on Wednesday guys and gals?
NO IFS NO BUTS ( no I don't mean immigration below 100k this time it's different).
So let's party on down dudes like it's 1999 ( City vs Gillingham, City are back).
Oh shit, the28 on my watch looks like 29.Thursday.
Sounds like a strong argument for big pharma to break up the NHS...Sorry mate, I know you and I agree about many things but you're way off the mark here.
How on earth do you propose that the UK tells Merck, Sanofi, pfizer, Roche, Bayer, BSM, Santen, Shire (Takeda), CSL Behring and every other pharma I can think of, what to do? What areas of research to do, what drug development to pursue, what prices to set.
Honestly, I sense your frustration, but it's a ludicrous suggestion. They are free, independent companies with HQ's which are not in the UK. They will focus their efforts where the profits are, and they spend billions in bringing new drugs to market. If the return is not there, they will simply not bother with that line of products and will focus on some alternative. (This is a critical problem with the development of new antibiotics, by the way.)
The UK is in a very fortunate position that we have a near-monopolistic buyer of drugs - the NHS. The NHS volumes compared to Spire and Bupa etc are enormous, which means the NHS gets to call the shots with the pharma businesses and to a much greater extent than in other countries, define it's own buying terms. Big pharma then has to decide does it comply, or miss out on effectively all UK volume if NICE does not approve use.
The upshot is we are best in class at negotiating supply contracts with the pharma businesses. It's not a perfect scenario by any means, but without a global initiative to nationalise all pharma companies - which is never happening, obviously - then I don't know what more can be done.
If it does, there will be a huge group of people who can’t afford drugs and a very small group of people who can. Still, they can’t say they weren’t warned......Sounds like a strong argument for big pharma to break up the NHS...
Yes it would be. How do you propose they do that?Sounds like a strong argument for big pharma to break up the NHS...
I watched half of it and then had to turn it off because it was such a load of politically motivated horseshit. But I suppose the lefties here will lap it up.Dispatches NOW Ch 4

Interesting that you bring that match up to draw a comparison - it works in more ways than oneOh shit, the28 on my watch looks like 29.
So party delayed.
On Thursday we're gonna party like it's 1999 ( Horlock 90, Dickov 90, the Phoenix rises from the flames).
Ironic when a large percentage of leave voters, the older ones anyway, are the biggest consumers of these drugs i’d ImagineIf it does, there will be a huge group of people who can’t afford drugs and a very small group of people who can. Still, they can’t say they weren’t warned......
I think you'll find you ticked the box that says "We may need to change our scheduled flight times or cancel, divert or delay certain flights for safety, operational or other reasons". April should be OK as the EU is allowing 9 months after leaving for UK carriers to get an EASA certificate, plus Easyjet have transferred a lot of planes to Austrian registrations.So when i fly to Montenegro next april the minute we fly outside the EU airspace the bloody thing will plummet into the sea? Easy jet never mentioned that when having 22 quid off me. Twats.
Should they have buried the story?I don't know how the Mail has the gall to run such a story! When these issues are as a direct consequence of the anti-EU bile they have poured out for the past decade.
Ask a Tory government?Yes it would be. How do you propose they do that?
Another 3 Billion handed over to the EU now for this delay. Plus billions for the previous delay.
Truly sickening how the opposition have the galle to criticise the government for austerity when tax payers money is being wasted on staying in an organisation we voted to leave nearly 4 years ago.
The whole parliament system is broken beyond repair.
