...and the PLP are improving things and keeping up with what they promised Birdie? We've gone from bad to worse thanks to your team in yellow...

Now let's give them the maintenance chore of the new ATR fleet...a fleet notorious in the industry for being VERY dependent on top notch maintenance...a LOT of maintenance and a lot of high tech. We are doomed.

Another knee jerk reactionary concept...more police in the schools would not have stopped this as the incident did not happen at the school.

Bingo!

Any 'bets' that he's open for business today? Whose gonna lay down the numbers!!

They will jam it down our throats just like VAT. I use to think the information void with VAT was bad...it's even worse when discussing this NHI concept. Scary thing is, VAT impacted our money...NHI is going to impact our health and possibly our lives. Right now I'm not convinced NHI improves on that in a good way, not as disorganized as it is now.

The irony is...in the UK, you could wait months or years for a referral/consultation for the NHS...but if you have private health care, that consult can happen the next day...and more often than not, it is the EXACT same doctor!!

Ask you average UK citizen how long it takes to get a referral to a specialist for anything other than a life threatening ER type issue...

Don't get me wrong, in a perfect world, run by honest individuals, an NHI system would be wonderful, but it's not, and for a government official who abused the previous government corporations in the past with over staffing, to turn around and make a statement that NHI will absorb the job losses...well that's just a major nail in the coffin right there. It will end up being an over staffed, poorly run operation by people given job positions for political favours.

Read between the lines...the NHI is now the new government employment agency...they don't have BEC or BTC any more...NHI will end up with every dead beat unemployable persons who are guaranteed a PLP vote.
