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.

Am i right in thinking that the other pilot must have suffered a heart attack or something similar because he didn't let the other pilot back in the cockpit ?

beat your political drum as much as you like, for i know that is what keeps you happy

however, as far as i can see, NHS needs a complete rebuild .... i do not think that it can any longer work where there is free healthcare for all and on demand, but i cannot see ANY gov't being prepared to take up that line

.

They'll take that line for the election c, but you are quite right, the free lark cant go on.

In any case, the nhs is not free to me..or you I suspect.

i think NHS is effectively free for one and all

as i'm an OAP, there's little if anything i need to pay for, though i choose to go privately for dentistry and annual PSA check, neither of which can be claimed on my health insurance ......

i almost never use my local surgery (NHS) except for providing them annually with my blood pressure spreadsheet (it's only marginally high anyway) and my flu jab, with which i wouldn't bother but Beloved insists that i do

============

a ridiculously simplistic solution for NHS, though i know it wouldn't and couldn't work for all sorts of reasons, is along the lines of if you can afford to pay for healthcare you should

this where health insurance comes in, but then it is inevitable that i will be deemed to have queue jumped by the bleeding heart brigade

Or don't have the pressure of 300 000 immigrants per year coming here plus the health tourists looking for treatment on our free service .

Now wait for fred to call me Hannibal Lector or something similar ..

immigration is killing the nhs just go to any hospital a/e its full of the scum
fact not bloody fiction they come to the uk not to work but get free services
and those that have paid for the services are the ones suffering who go to the doctors and it takes weeks to go to hospital .
all immigrants must be refused treatment .they must be forced to buy medical cover if we go abroad we have to

Cameron is happy to see immigrants destroy the nhs he hates the nhs
Cameron is a bloody liar and vile man

Shoot them as they land on our beaches aye TANKER ??

the eu should be made tp pay billions to the worlds uk nhs because that is what it as become the locals suffer its time for action against the scum coming to the uk for free services

Two major things need to change in the hospital side of the NHS:

1. Free Food during the extent of your stay. This is ridiculous!

2. Bed blocking by patients with alzheimers, etc. who have nowhere else to go except to stay in their hospital bed. This cost needs to be transferred over to the social services side of things.

I could solve the problem put big lorries in Calais then allow the scum to get in the back lock the door when full then drive the other way back to Syria and drop them off that is what I would do

That's funny TANKER

a young lad I know wants to move to gremany to live and work
they are putting more hurdles in is way than it is to get out of prison

jimmy that's the problem its not funny its a fact the immigrant scum is killing the uk
and we have people with no guts in power they are making a fortune out of the low life scum

A poll has shown that support for capital punishment has fallen below 50% for the first time.

The report by the Kings Fund saying that the NHS has fallen to 1990s level also said that it had done as well as could be expected in the financial climate.

fred - Bed blocking by patients with alzheimers, etc. who have nowhere else to go except to stay in their hospital bed. This cost needs to be transferred over to the social services side of things.

that has to be one of the more stupid comments you have made recently

who foots the bill for social services?
the taxpayer

who foots the bill for NHS?
the taxpayer

all you are suggesting is robbing peter to pay paul

============

however, it may be that there could be greater collaboration between local residential care homes with spare beds and the hospitals who have beds blocked by cases who just need a few extra days with some care to hand until the patient's needs can be met at home or similar

When the pilot came out of the cockpit, a member of cabin crew is supposed to replace him until he comes back. It looks like the protocol was not followed.

It could be that the pilot in the cockpit was dealing with the the emergency and could not open the door.

Jimmy,

I don't have to label you, you doing a good job for yourself.


Check the percentage of "workers" from overseas in the health and Welfares services
against their usage of the services.


When you pay NHI and Tax you are insuring yourself, offspring and others.

Mind, I think those who develop a new form of Ebola in London should not be treated unless they have insurance to cover the cost.

Soon sort out the population problems of London.

Natural wastage!

I am not going to pay my taxes for the benefit of others.

I never use the roads in London, again I don't think I should pay my taxes for the benefit of others.

Likewise those bloody schools. I don't have any kids, why should I pay tax for them.
