It's always a deliberate choice intended to keep the public away from general practice. If you're seriously ill, go to a&e, if you're over 70 or under 4, then GPs will lay down the red carpet, otherwise, you're on your own and the NHS effectively doesn't exist unless you have cancer.

And within that there is a good illustration of the problem of false balance. There is no reason to quote Kelvin MacKenzie as having a valid opinion. The man is utterly discredited over Hillsborough and a cynical, nasty piece of work with it.

I recently became disabled again when filling out the new form to renew a postal vote as it requires you submit a reproducible signature. Something I don't have. I am waiting to find out if they will allow non-reproducible signature based postal votes.

One of the most cynical people in comedy. And comedy isn't exactly a trade scoring low on cynicism.

Teenage me met Peter Green. You think drugs fucked up the later iteration of Fleetwood Mac? Well that guy was Brian Wilson levels of fucked long after he'd supposedly recovered.

I blame the Tories and Labour for this. They've failed to recognise that Reform and the Greens are the crank threat to their flanks, they're not political mainstream threats like the Lib Dems, SNP, PC, etc. They're loons, occasionally well meaning with reasonable concerns, but loons nevertheless.

How do they plan to do this without having vast teams of moderators who are deeply embedded in a variety of different online cultures and offline nationalities? Oh, they are planning on using AI, aren't they?
