**Services may have to be cut unless NHS England receives an extra £10bn in funding next year, groups representing the health service have warned.**
I can help them a little. A close relative of mine received a letter from her GP inviting her to have a shingles jab. This was on 27th August. She made an appointment for today and arrived as instructed. "I'm not ready to give you your jab" says the nurse, "because you are not yet 70."
"But you invited me. The letter said nothing about being over 70. If that's the case why did you send the letter? In any case you took my date of birth when I made the appointment. Anyway, I'm 70 in three days' time so it should be alright, surely."
"Sorry. I'll make you another appointment."
"No you ****ing won't. You've wasted enough of my time and of taxpayers' money. I'll take my chances."
So, an appointment wasted. A letter wasted. Nurse's time wasted. Patient untreated. "The envy of the world?"

The UK has been defined as a National Health Service with a country attached, the average pay for a doctor is now £100,000 p.a. & my daughter has had to wait 3 weeks to see one in person. No political party dare take on the inevitable task of a complete reform. The NHS is most definitely not 'the envy of the World'.

TTT; I think I am left of you and so I have always been one of the 'nasty lefties' even before I ever posted here. You're a bully and bullies need to be called out. There are many here with whom I might disagree, but most of them are able to disagree without being disagreeable: you're not one of them. Tonight is the first night I have used the term 'nasty righties', and you don't like someone talking back to you in your own lingo. Get over it.
mozz: "Although, I'll take //Both sides used their resources to fight for their view.// as an admittance that the Leave campaign lied. " - evidence please, no one lied, both sides used what they had and their strategy. I don't think the remoaners where lying when they predicted all their project fear scenarios, to predict is not to lie but the left seem to have problems with what a lie is.
athiest: "TTT; I think I am left of you and so I have always been one of the 'nasty lefties'" - you still don't get it do you? You have to be nast to be a nasty lefty and you are being.
" You're a bully and bullies need to be called out." - I'm not I am merely responding to your non arguments and name calling. "There are many here with whom I might disagree, but most of them are able to disagree without being disagreeable: you're not one of them." - err no, look above you are having a hissy fit because your arguments have been comprehensively demolished, all you have left is this whining epitaph that the nasty man is a bully! PMSL
"Tonight is the first night I have used the term 'nasty righties', and you don't like someone talking back to you in your own lingo. Get over it. " - I'm not under it, I get called names every day, water off a ducks back sunshine. now have a go at 20:26

anyway when I say "nasty left" I'm usually referring to something like this rather than an Aber:

//I never start it.//
Really? Both the quotes I mentioned @20:56 where made in direct response to my posts, so I have to assume they were both addressed to me.
At least take ownership of your nastiness. Quite frankly, it's water of a duck's back to me, but you're better that trying to wriggle your way out of if, even in a politics thread!
