The NHS is really teetering now, GP services are getting to the point of being totally inaccessible for quick appointments, I got really assertive with my practice to get a next-day slot but that was only with locum that had absolutely no clue on my chronic condition and the alternative was over 3 weeks wait to get my own GP. for a few years now I've managed my condition via google and medical textbooks and effectively tell the GPs what to do -they don't have time to read notes beforehand or do any research on conditions themselves. I've got a biological science degree, someone who doesn't have that knowledge would get lost in the system, depressed and even suicidal because they would struggle to get even a diagnosis now. Ambulance response times have fallen off a cliff because they spend most of the time queueing at hospitals as they can't get the patient admitted.
Every which way you look this country is turning into a 3rd world shambles, NHS, Transport, Local Authorities, energy, water, access to housing, but at least our great British sausages are still getting into Northern Ireland instead of being blocked by the EU - that's what really matters...oh and also making sure the civil service isn't 'woke' because if it isn't all of this will get better straight away...

I mean, I read through lots of those old threads that were posted and there is a ton of absolute tripe being spouted by all and sundry, and anyone who backed brexit and this government have objectively acted on lies and been f***ed up the ar$e, and taken the rest of us down with the ship. There are scores of idiots opposing the view of experts who told us brexit and this collection of corrupt, incompetent, dishonest charlatans would wreck everything and all of that has turned out to be true. They have trashed this country. Every day something else. Another scandal. Another f**kup. Everything is broken…..and what’s coming down the track? F***ing Liz Truss!!!! I’ve seen many a government and many a challenge, but this lot is, by a million miles the most disgustingly corrupt, immoral and destructive collection of utter cnuts we have ever been forced to endure. Right now, what are they doing to address the difficulties of the population.? Nothing! British people are honest. hard working, kind and fair, and we are governed by a collection of despotic’ lying narcissists, sociopaths and sycophants who gaslight this nation ever day.

Sums up my feelings exactly. I knew they would be useless and I knew Brexit would be a complete disaster, but I'm gob smacked by how low we have sunk and how much worse they have been than I ever imagined. The sad thing is that they don't even give a fook. Sink or swim folks.

Brexit was/is a complete shitshow, a pack of lies cobbled together to appeal to a kaleidoscope of mutton heads either too loyal, too stupid or too right wing. Played straight into the hands of Putin’s mates who funded it.
Subsequently, it’s been swept under the carpet by Covid and now Ukraine, somewhat conveniently.
And now Liz Truss? Thick Lizzie, the Poundland Thatcher who’s been Lib Dem and Tory, Leave & Remain and who’s Dad is an emeritus professor in Socialism. Only in Britain.

I was in A&E last Thursday got there about 11pm to find about 15-20 people waiting, when I finally got to see the triage nurse after midnight just before insisting a young lad (who was vomiting everywhere) went before me, I was told there would be at least a 4 hour wait to see a doctor! Absolute shambles this organisation I decided to go home and hope for the best. There is absolutely nobody that could convince me the NHS could be saved.

Firstly, hope you’re ok. Love you long time. Secondly, didn’t an advert on the side of a bus convince you that it could be saved. 😉

Hope a spider bites you on the flipping neck! I think you’re confused sonny … Brexit will create another 350M a week for the NHS was the claim! now you would have to be some right dumb sandal wearing tofu eating socialist to believe this could actually save it😂

Unfortunately, that's what you get when you've had the Conservatives in power for the great majority of the past 50-odd years. They are idealogically opposed to having a properly-functioning social democratic state because they either think government is bad or, more cynically, realise that a properly-functioning government which provides the major services required by the populace reduces the opportunity for profit for the private sector. Most of our peers do the big infrastructure stuff better in general which is why most of Europe has public transport that works properly outside of the major cities. We don't even bother to get the public transport right in all the major cities!
Yes, New Labour did repair some of the damage done by Thatcher's Tory wreckers, but not enough and it will take decades to recover from what the Tories have done to the country since 2010.
Unfortunately, Starmer's Labour doesn't appear up to the task which is why I'm still hoping for a hung parliament at the next election and some proper electoral reform which would keep the ghastly Tories out of power for the foreseeable future.
Margaret Thatcher saved thousands of lives by shutting coal pits and turning to gas. Dash for Gas the Labour Party jeered, but she proved them wrong. Coal killed people mining it, either outrright, or slowly with lung diseases, and then killed the rest of us when burnt. Oh and it added enormously to climate change. Did you know that? Labour bankrupted this country by selling off most (56%) of the UKGold Reserves in 1999 at the lowest historic price ever, and also lowered the price by 10% by doing it. Real smart. Labour started a war on a lie invading Iraq which cost £8.5 Billion (double that at todays price) War in Afghanistan £20.5 Billion and of course British armed forces deaths with how many Iraqui Afganistani deaths?? So check your facts before opening mouth.
