The main stream press treat the NHS as a private entity (that’s what they hope). It is Govt. run (badly)by largely unqualified people. Health Trusts are offering fast track operations at a cost, thus putting the poor further away from the operations they need.

Corrupt to the core. Whilst the right wing are plotting against Sunak to push their own rabid anti-mjgrant and racist policies. The Brexit bonfire they are looking for may well ignite more than they can cope with!

Starmer has said there will be no great spend if Labour win the next election. This may be prudent but the economy is stagnant and needs a boost.After World War 2 plans were already in place to create the NHS, introduce a new education system, build new towns, create National Parks, build many council houses. Renew city centres. Not all were fantastically successful but the vision and energy was there. Is it asking too much for the same vision and energy from Labour? The NHS needs restructuring and re-energising, as does education. The climate crisis is affecting wildlife and the environment and will. need drastic reforms of countryside laws including agriculture and the estates of the mega wealthy. Our energy sector has the potential to increase on the 26.8% of electricity sourced from wind last year and increase solar production whilst reducing consumption with insolation. The rail network needs renationalising as does water – but these will have to wait, although failed franchises on the railways can be required without compensation and targets for the water industry could do the same.

Still the greatest problem for any government. Costs are still rising, renting is increasing whilst home ownership falls (half a million less than 10 years ago). Is it cynical to ask who makes money from this situation?

Dinner should be an important part of the school. day – not something consumed on the hoof. It should be planned, chosen, sourced, environmentally and socially assessed, priced, prepared, cooked, served, assessed for nutrition, washed up too! An educational and social experience

Basically I am just enjoying the shitshow! Harry, it seems, has been told by his therapist to get his anger off his back and lay it out in public. Whilst the family are keeping shrumm. It amazes me at how entertaining people are finding this and are able to give their unqualified and uninformed options without shame! Those who want him stripped of his title should be aware that if this can be done, it could be done to the lot of them, from Charlie down! And it had gone quiet on Andrew again (whom incidentally seems not to have broken any English Laws other than acting like a complete overprivileged prick!).

There would seem to be less and less reason to treat the royals with respect or deterrence. Main stream media, especially some newspapers are reliant on the controversy for sales, especially the Mail, Sun, Express and Torygraph. Great escapism from the financial horrors inflicted by 12 years of Tory rule
