Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
May be some worth in that
When I was working on a busy care of the elderly ward, with 6 time staff on an early it was mayhem even with 5 supernumery students* extra to lend a hand sorting out folk. In the mornings it was expected a senior nurse was to leave the ward to attend a meeting to report on staffing levels. Usually they just phoned in to tell the managers in no uncertain terms that if they left the ward for the meeting then staffing levels would certainly get worse while they were off the ward. Trricky enough to maintain staffing levels 24/7 as best that can be done and rota in training etc.
Problem is there's not that many meetings to attend at the coal front labour intensive end of hospital healthcare with buzzers going, more occur naturally I suspect on the management / bureaucratic side of things.
*Student nurses are a major component, though not counted as staff on ward, while on placement they contribute a great deal of 'free' labour in exchange for erxperience (then have to pay back student loan - so basically they have they pay to work!). Placements for gathering experience are usually full time between fulltime classroom stints and many also somehow manage to hold part time / full time jobs / look after family while studying (& they don't have long Easter / Summer / Xmas holiday breaks like other students). Hence why there's a problem recruiting, and have to import trained staff from abroad.

Quite frankly anyone voting Conservative is intent on harming the future of the country

"This is one of the biggest con tricks of the lot because leaving #EU on Johnson's terms just means finishing the first stage of the #Brexit process and beginning the next.."

Why on earth did they appoint her. She is the most annoying, patronising psuedo student in history. Swinson BTW.
The auto-correct on my phone changes her name to Swindon. She’s not worth the effort of making a correction.
I have no idea why they chose Swindon, I thought Tim Farron was ok and they seemed to be gaining a bit of traction, but then they threw it all away by selecting the current monstrosity. She has done nothing, achieved nothing, her experience is nothing and her policies are insane.

Ask yourself this one question.This looks familiar
Imagine that! from the man that caused Brexit!
Why is Johnson going to win next GE?
The answer
Corbyn.
Actually that is the best thing that can happen, return to the EU will be quicker that way and labour not pick up the blame.
Actually it's Farage and time that ensure that anyway.
Farage has scuppered any chance this time by switching only the Labour Leavers to Brexit.
And Corbyn's age will rule him out for the following GE five years later.
.
Where are Labour’s 100000 council houses per year going to be built?
If we build 100000 per year for the next decade, we will need 200000 per year the following decade and 300000 per year after that. We will run out of space.
Better to maintain a housing shortage, because that will throttle breeding. Less breeding equals less pollution. I should be a Green Party MP.

I thought he was terrible and I am far from the only one who thought he should never have been leader.

Dont be silly flecc. Farage only attracts attention and some votes brcause rest are so pathetic.
I agree he shouldnt be allowed to only split labour vote but uf Corbyn were anything spproaching desirable or electable, Farage's actions would be irrelevant,which lets face it they are.
Not so, worldwide experience in all countries shows that as living standards rise, the birthrate falls.
It's those who keep the masses poor who result in excessive births, i.e. the Tories.
.
That's not true. Both the Tory party and the Labour party have many Leave supporters who will switch to voting Brexit if given the chance, but only the Labour ones will have that chance. Given the large proportion of marginal constituencies, that is a gross distortion and very far from irrelevant.
At the last GE my own large constituency had been held by a margin of only 167 votes, meaning less than 90 votes taken from the holder would swap the result, a swing of just 0.1%
