If you want the NHS to succeed, it's actually quite simple.

You invest directly in the NHS, fix NHS pay, and stop money flowing away into private practice.

Simply this.

America is descending fast - and we need to ensure it does not pull down the rest of the world with it.

Particularly in Europe, we need to regroup and operate without the US.

And your people are so brainwashed they think, without healthcare or holidays they're living in " the Land of the Free "
FACT: The United States is the only developed country in the world without universal health coverage for all of its citizens - and that's absolutely shameful, especially for the most wealthy nation on the planet.

Less than 30% of tenant complaints to LA EHOs even result in an inspection. And that is English national average. Half of all inspections were carried out by just 20 authorities out of 295. So the odds of getting a response, let alone enforcement, are, depending on area, very poor indeed.

The High Court had previously ruled the Tory govt's recent protest legislation undemocratic & unlawful. Unsurprisingly, that govt lodged an appeal. Instead of withdrawing the appeal, the new Labour govt is hell bent on continuing with the power grab. Tell us again who were Tory enablers!
With today’s news that Britain leads the world in cracking down on climate activism everyone should watch this. The court’s decision is expected in the new year

“It is not the model of the NHS that is broken, but the political will to fund it properly.”

The average cost of renting a newly let UK home is now £3,240 higher than in 2021.

Rents have risen by 27% since 2021, wages haven't.

People priced out of buying/renting homes.

No govt plan to curb profiteering by builders, landlords, banks.

I can understand why Americans resent taxation..they don't have any holidays or maternity leave or health-care. They need to sort this out and get the benefits the rest of the civilised world has..then maybe they would understand what taxation is about.
December 13, 2024 at 4:33 PM
Taxes create a civil society..roads schools, libraries,hospitals,sewers,street lighting. These kind of things.
Farmers children go to school, they use the hospitals, they drive on the roads.

Don't tell me they shouldn't have to pay any tax.

These new measures to safeguard stalking victims are long overdue and a step in the right direction. Revealing online stalkers’ identities sooner, expanding protection orders, and tackling gaps in police response are crucial for victims’ safety.
Stalking victims to be given right to know abuser's identity
Victims will be told the identity of online perpetrators at the earliest opportunity, under the new reforms.
