In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.
Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt.
While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant of £10tn.
That's how privatisation 'works'.

As a leader, you don’t have a choice in being a role model. The choice is how much energy you invest in being a good one.
Being a good leader will always be "energy expensive." The challenge lies not in skills or knowledge, but in the sustained effort it demands.

Why it makes sense to vaccinate boys against HPV
In the light of more good news about declining rates of death from cervical cancer, why do we vaccinate boys against the virus that causes it?

This is not Valencia, this is the town Tenbury Wells UK. There are very real consequences for all of us of ignoring 40 years of warnings from NASA & the world’s leading scientists. Reminder: as the planet heats, the atmosphere holds more moisture meaning rainfall intensity increases. #climatechange
