Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

It's true there have been fantastic advances in recent years but the costs of providing the medicines to the patient in many cases (various cancers) is prohibitive.

We've got a fantastic pill to extend your life Mr Smith but unfortunately it costs too much to let you have it.

If you could forget your dogged negative view of the NHS for a minute you would have read that I pointed out that the NHS lacked funding and there were inefficiencies.( including not charging non residents ). A big inefficiency is failures to show up.
However they do many more effective treatments than 5 years ago.
Properly funded, efficiencies removed, the NHS will continue to work well.

You said it, I agree. Heard of similar here. Reduce the NHS waste.

Google Airbus. It is a European grouping. Why would it be expected to continue funding work in the UK?
A big block of research funding in our local universities is from EU. UK has poor record of funding long term. Where do we get funds.?
The southwest benefits from EU we will stay in. I respect your views, vote how you wish.

Go educate yourself ignorance is not bliss

I don't need education from you mate the man who wants , 60 70 80 100,000 . Syrians taken in this country . And just show some respect as regards your language too .

i also think Will is getting an unfair beasting from some of you

fred
you wrote ...... in an attempt to lower the demands on A&E I wonder if "first aid" or equivalent for simple injuries etc. could be taught in schools.
offices and similar can't even give an aspirin from the first aid box
i'm not even sure about an elastoplast
why?
in case there's an allergic reaction, and then you'll have hse and a lawsuit round your neck

Teach First Aid in schools? Your having a laugh! They can't even teach them to read or write or add up.

Remind us Will what is your occupation again? Some might say self interest sways your vote but I couldn't possibly comment :0)

chris - it was Fred's suggestion not Will's ....... put your specs on :-)

cynic what chris is saying is that willio is in the housing business , you know people need houses don't they .

Put your specs on cyners, note the fresh paragraph.

I'm sorry for the language didn't mean to disrespect you. It just pops out when I'm responding to that fucker Tanker. I wouldn't try to educate you 'mate', your on your own there.

To jump back into "our UK humane response to refugees", as you will remember I said as a country we could cope with our share of the refugees.... up to 300,000. As you know we already take in more migrants than that now.
Remember we are talking about REFUGEES here...... don't start ranting on about economic migrants.

In any event eventually, due to global warming, there will be a much, much greater mass migration northwards. Prepare for it, you will not be able to stop it.

Whoever created this world probably didn't intend that, we who have most, have a right to refuse to share with those that have little. Just give a little.

Not if the implementation procedures are correctly taught.

Treatments of minor conditions are carried out by many already.

But perhaps.

We can restrict the NHS treatments to those who have the ability to pay!

Bugger the rest!

I'm a House builder. Small scale less than 30 units a year. Little difference to my business/day to day living if in or out.

100% in on economics
50/50 in on politics.

fred - unless i am much mistaken, it is already HSE rules about aspirin etc in offices ...... not really worth arguing about i admit, and in principle a good idea just as it is now commonplace for CPR to be taught in schools

Personally I think you talk through your backside but there we go , I suppose you have to pop off to do some faith healing as you seem to be up your own arse . Any way toodle pip old boy or is it your Grace .

Will.

I thought Tanker was a pseudonym for Vicky.

I shall now go to my air raid shelter in the back garden.

No get back in the cellar with the bottle , your teas not ready .
