Feckin Useless Doctors

If he wants to fight he should be given every assistance that’s going
If nobody was there for him he would already be on the pathway
This course of action has to STOP
Tell him that he’s wanted and needed and people he doesn’t even know are rooting for him

 

Personally I don't have any great love or respect for the NHS based on my experience of the system. Yes it's free and I am sure that many of the staff are dedicated and want to help people but I think there is, and has been for many, many years, a lot wrong with it including a lot of staff (my current GP and several ones I've met in the past included) who shouldn't be in their posts. A witch doctor would probably be more use than some of 'em. I have had two operations in my life. One I am convinced was unnecessary and left me with years of pain due to scar tissue and one that was botched and I can only think of two or three times in my entire life where doctors correctly diagnosed and cured an ailment. I try to avoid going near the NHS if humanly possible.

 

I know it ain't really free but it is generally considered as 'free at point of access' and certainly some people get phenomenally more than they could ever pay in in their whole working life or several working lives and so, for them, it's as good as free while others may pay all their lives and never access any form of service whatsoever so, for them, it's a very expensive insurance policy they never cash in.

 

Oh that is certainly true. There is a family in my village from Latvia who has two young sons. Fellow is a joiner so I would imagine he pays a reasonable amount of Tax and National Insurance but his kids are costing the system a fortune. Both were born with disabilities including deafness. Both have had double cochlea implants, oodles of other medical care, get transported to and from their Special School in a minibus just for them and have assistants with them every day at school and I would imagine that their mother gets carer's allowance for looking after them not to mention tax credits. No idea how much they have cost but I reckon their dad would need to work for the next three or four hundred years to pay enough in to cover all his family have had out of the Welfare System.

 

Same with my mother in law
Lovely lovely woman
It was horrible to see her go that way

 

Your experience of the 'Covid callousness' is not unique to the USA. Liberals and those who are anti the UK leaving the European Union in the UK have declared their hope that all those 'stick in the mud right wing oldies' bite the dust quickly from Covid and make way for all those forward thinking Europe loving (naive and inexperienced/malleable) youth. Here in Scotland we have had parliamentary representatives of the Scottish Nationalist Party declare publicly online how happy they are that 'x' amount of those old 'Britain loving elderly folks' have been killed off by Covid19 while x-amount of the Scottish nationalist fans (naive and gullible) have turned 16 years old and are now able to vote. I guess those new voters don't care that their party are celebrating the death of their old 'Britain loving' grandparents.

 

Absolutely true Jez,
It was Angus Robertson writing in their own rag 'The National'. Here is an article on it https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/f...rly-deaths-were-leading-to-independence-gain/

Of course the SNP pushed for the voting age to be taken down to 16 years old simply because they know that the young are more naive, easily fooled and likely to be idealistic and little schooled in the realities of the world.
