Unpopular opinions

[dronefromsector7G]

It’s not lies as our government thinks our public transport system is acceptable

I think the point of the thread is that it’s about your opinions

I was well past your arbitrary cut off age yet wanted to remain.
You are wrong to class us all the same.
As I stated in one of my posts, anyone who remembers the recession this country was in before joining the common market should never have voted to leave the EU.

You misunderstand me, I too am past my own cut off date and I too voted remain, my point was us old FOC's won't have to deal with the long term aftermath of Brexit, and so should not have had a say in the outcome

There should be a £20 charge to use an ambulance, watch how many people decide they’ll get to A&E another way or don’t bother going because they don’t really need to.

And if someone is having a potential heart attack and can't afford it ?

Lets face it if the Tories did that they'd get slaughtered. Headlines like "They Have Blood On Their Hands"

Send them a bill, they can pay it on drip, once they’ve finished on their drip.

You would gladly find it. The harsh reality is people who having clutchers are being told by 999 that if they can breathe they should ring a taxi, and they then ring ahead to tell the hospital that a heart attack is incoming. All wrong, obviously, but that happens several times daily

So if I'm having a heart attack or a stroke, as long as I'm breathing I should ring a taxi ?

Not sure where you are getting your figures on the UK GDP, but latest results show a further fall https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64062548

I'm getting my figures from; https://tradingeconomics.com/united-kingdom/gdp


You're talking about trending, like the stock market.

Post Brexit in 2021 the GDP of the UK was 3186.86 Billion US$ The highest it's ever been.
The UK left the EU on 31st January 2020......In 2022 it is forecast to be 3020 Billion, the highest since 2014 which was 3087.17 Billion.
Here is the graph.
The previous poster said the GDP was 100 Billion down since Brexit. Simply not true.

 

[Keeper!]

Let me put it like this: judging Brexit on the basis of short term economics is totally wrong. Huge issues re defence, for example. Plenty of other areas of concern. So, wait ten years at least.

10 years LOL

This shit show will take at the very least one generation probably two and even then we will lucky to be back in the game.

The selfish, ignorant fools that voted for it should be utterly ashamed.

You mean ignorant people like Rishi Sunak, James Dyson and Jim Ratcliffe, I take it.

Well you definitely shouldn't drive.

Im merely relaying to you what ambulance control are telling people who ring 999. You do what you like mate

The rail fare increases still make our rail service one of the best in the world and is excellent value for money

I've just cone back from Australia. Anyone who moans about our rail service needs to go there and try it.
There are 3 trains a day between Sydney the pretend capital and Canberra the real one. 3 ! You cannot get a direct train from Melbourne to Canberra and the whole rail system is underfunded and wank.
We just love to moan and it's why we are fast becoming a 3rd world country.

Bill. You cannot get an ambulance whether you are having a heart attack or not. There are elderly people lying on the pavement with suspected broken bones for 10 hours waiting for an ambulance. That is not the Daily Mail shit stirring its a fact.

Would you still be alive after being driven all the way from Australia?

How cheap are the flights? When I was there years ago it was dead cheap to fly from Melbourne to Sydney

Only if he can breathe underwater and it's a very unusual car...

I got billed for the ambulance when I got run over by a car in the 1980s.

First Aid Kit’s version of Running Up The Hill is better than Kate Bush’s.

This is true. It is probably because they want money for alcohol or drugs instead. Most have some form of addiction or dependency.

I did the same as you, went in a couple of shops (poundland and home bargains, it both within touch distance) bought drinks, sandwich anti bac handwash (it was cheap and summer 2022, thought might as well give him something to wash his hands if he is on the street all day).

Deliberately picked out a sandwich I thought he was more likely to eat (chicked salad).

Gave it all to him and thank you I got didn't seem to be genuinely pleased.

It’s not important if they are grateful though, your small act of genuine kindness is what counts. If they throw it in the bin, or swap it for change, it's their choice to make.

I’m not knocking people for showing kindness but I’ve always thought it a bit odd when I see people buying food for a homeless person sat outside a shop, without asking them what they’d like first? Don’t think any of us would dream of buying anyone else lunch without asking them what they fancy first.

I always ask them what they want first and then get them something completely different.
