The eu do not have to do anything. Like TR we have shown quite a flair for self destruction and public humiliation. It just has to sit back and let us self destruct.
Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
True, take graves disease (form of hyperthyroidism with proptosis- to remain on topic, a kind of medically induced nigel farage bulging eyeball look), often the result of an almost insignificant degree of overactivity.
A well thought out, reasoned and balanced response backed up with plenty of evidence. Well done you!
He seems if anything to have sunk further into idiocy
I could't have described Farage better myself "Total bo***ks." fits him to a T
He's good at doing that, alas he keeps coming back, which only makes things worse.
And just how to you get a deal by walking away? all you get is zilch.
The man is only useful to Putin, no one in these islands of ours.
He is separating mugs from their cash which after all is simply a case of doing a Pound shop imitation version of Nigel Farage.
Neither of them are real politicians, just parasites.
May I suggest the next time you buy a car, Get up from the dealers table and start to walk away.
I bet the deal gets better not worse.
Or you may end up with no car and become reliant on a failing bus service. Queuing for hours in the rain for a bus that doesn't show up. Great!
in my local surgery they are closed Weds pm and Fri pm. When you go in for appointment the place is empty. It also seems that all the female doctors only work part time. Having said that most of them are very good and in demand so need to wait longer to see them. In conclusion I would say that I am very satisfied with the service they provide. Receptionists are very helpful and the GP's do seem to want to help
According to the article I posted, The average doctor now works 3 and 1/3 days a week.
to me he is much more believable than Corbyn who is an out and out opportunist jumping whichever way he thinks will get him into power (god help us)
I would agree with you there. The way our politicians are performing, there is a possibility that no sort of a deal will be forthcoming before 31st Oct. I can't see the EU extending beyond that if we have a lot of anti EU reps in there so they may just kick us out with no deal, and no matter what our parliament wants we may have no choice. I can feel a fudge coming on which is going to have repercussions for many years
that's funny.
No deal brexit was not even on the ballot paper and yet, Farage can't bring himself to support a second referendum where no deal brexit will be on the ballot paper.
That’s true, but name me someone in our establishment who has demonstrated outstanding negotiation skills.
If the EU were the car dealership and the U.K. establishment the prospective purchaser, you have to agree that they have used us to wipe the car showroom floor.
At the moment, the U.K. is driving a fairly reliable & modest car. It could be better, but funds are short and it does the job. The Brexit chancers are offering a POTENTIAL, NOT A CERTAINTY, that we can trade up to a Beamer. So far I’ve not seen anything that fills me with confidence that they can pull this off. The consequences of them failing is waiting at the bus stop on a cold, wet & windy day. I think I’d rather stick with the car that I know works. Maybe trade up if something a bit more certain comes along.
That's right. Your far right left wing agencies told lies, like they always do.
I'm not complaining. I'm just pointing out facts because I'm worried for other people that are not so well informed.
It's surprising how many people are unaware of how unreliable and inaccurate the media are in their reporting, like people here using quotes from the Guardian of all publications.
Trust Pilot is completely independent. Anybody can post there. That's where you can get the truth about an organisation, provided there is a large enough sample of reviews You can see that the BBC have had over 4000 reviews and they got a Trustpilot score of 0.1. Anybody with half a brain cell can see from that that the BBC can't be trusted. I think that's something like 100 reviews saying they can't be trusted for every one that says they can.
Look at Wisper Electric bikes 107 reviews and a 5 star rating. You can see that the rating system is working more or less correctly.

It's as Woosh replied to you. If anything doctors surgeries are far more efficient now, computers, prescription printout machines, online prescription and appointment booking, online transmission of prescriptions to chemists.
On my last doctors visit the doc prescribed something, relaying it directly. I said thanks, walked around the corner a couple of minutes and the pharmacist said "hello, just making it up for you". In 1984 that would have been a near miracle.
There are new big problems now, the biggest is keeping people alive very much longer and needing ongoing regular medical support.
The old like myself are a major element of this nowadays. Back in the early 1970s I started a new management job. Four of my fourteen employees were close to 65. None of the four reached 66 after retiring, something quite common then but very uncommon now. These days they'd have lived another 10 to 20 years, using their doctor for numerous ongoing problems due to age.
My brother at 78 with serious heart trouble had a replacement heart valve fitted. Not long afterwards he suffered bowel cancer. A few years ago either would have killed him, but now at 87 he's still alive and still using the doctor for all his medications and ongoing troubles.
Another big element is premature babies. Keeping them alive is celebrated as a big success, but what isn't so commonly known is that they are often far from perfect and frequently suffer lifelong conditions needing medical care as a consequence of being born with incomplete organs.
The statistic that also illustrates the changes is that 11% of the population are registered disabled. It was less than half that when I was young.
