Wife in Hospital

True. We’re at 200 million really.

Does anyone count butterflies?

It’s probably 750m.

I don't do politics, nor will I ever vote for any self-serving political party.

It's clear as day this island has more people than what we are being told. Look at the state of your major cities and roads mate. The Brits are too pissed to realise what's happening in front of their noses.

Add in one of the most lenient benefits systems in Europe, and you have layabouts from here and further afield abusing the system. Waiting times everywhere are horrific in England. It's overcrowded and public services well understaffed and underfunded.
 
If people still need it explaining it at this point they probably need to check into supported accomodation.

Are you volunteering to work at your local soup kitchen and serve local businessmen?
Many moons ago back in my student days I used to pop down to my local on a Sunday afternoon for a couple before Sunday dinner.
There was an older guy who like you blamed all the worlds problems on the Tory Party.
Even though it was a staunchly working class pub he was given the name Red Joe by the locals. He wouldn’t have looked out of place in his red cravat down at the local Tory Club. In fact the only thing interesting about him was his rather tasty mistress.
The more he had to drink the more vocal he became picking an argument with anyone who dared disagree with him. The beauty of it was the more angry he became the more he ignored his lovely mistress so I used to sit and practice my chatting up skills with her whist he ranted on about the Evils of Thatcher.
At the time he used to tell everyone in the pub he ran his own company so I could never understand why he was so bitter.
One day I had to go into Manchester and I clocked him in a kiosk working as a car park attendant. I never told anyone in the pub as I didn’t want to humiliate him.
It was a time of high unemployment but he had a job, beautiful mistress, smartly dressed, roof over his head, he was just obsessed with the Tory Party
I am sure It was only a matter of time before his mistress up’ed sticks and moved on as he clearly bored her to death and embarrassed her with his obsession.
You remind me so much of him other than he never used foul language as he was capable of putting a couple of sentences together without swearing,…you could even be his love child.

Cool story bro
 
Weight doesn’t determine how good someone is at a job.
Actually in an emergency situation it does.
Crash teams have to run down corridors for example. Slim people just run faster.
Imagine fat firemen running up ladders ?
Also slim nurses are able to get down and help people on with shoes etc.
 
I wish your wife a speedy recovery mate.

My own recent experiences with A&E at Warrington and Crewe underlined how underfunded the NHS is. Both were full of old people and druggies, plus a few people who clearly couldn’t be arsed trying to get a Dr.’s appointment for their kid.

Sad that this thread has become a political argument. Hopefully you’ll all realise that this binary argument about tories and labour is a diversionary tactic….neither party is any good, they both drink from the same well….and you’ll see business resume after the GE whoever wins.

It really isn’t. What you are referring to is the infrastructure not being able to cope. That’s down to lack of investment and personnel.

The U.K. has about another 90% that could be built on. It’s the underfunding that has done this. Probably on purpose to fuel the “we’re full” rhetoric.
 
Unfortunately there aren't Matrons any more, just well intentioned staff nurses, but they seem to be scared to tell the nursing assistants to get off their fat arses and do their jobs, like i said in my early post my wife is a nurse but she has worked in Research for the last 20 years and can't believe how things have changed on the wards
Firstly, sorry to hear about your wife - which hospital is she a patient of/in? I hope she makes a full recovery.
Strange you make the comment above. I was in MRI for 7 weeks with a serious leg infection recently, and spoke to 2 different Matrons in that time. Apparently, they have a darker blue uniform than Sisters, and neither were fat/obese. I did refrain from speaking to them in a "Kenneth Williams" voice - I didn't want any more laxatives!
:-)

Could AI and robots save the NHS, and maybe these new fat **** drugs will help take the strain off
