Bob's Board: The Earl of Chesterfield - Viewing Profile - Bob's Board

There is a safety net that makes sure everyone gets something in life, called benefits or the state pension, but most of us want more than that. So yes, having a working, available, quality service for all, and a system where those who can pay for something different sounds fine to me. A bit like tickets at the footie, we could all go in the kop for the cheapest ticket, and it does the job. But some prefer to choose a different option...

But your first line is true. A quality health system is, and we dont have one at the moment. So how are you going to solve it if not do something different...? Just raise more taxes? Or nationalise it to make it more efficient..... ? Oh, wait....

Again after 14 years in opposition you are looking at it like a protest party, complaining about other people's suggestions but not offering a thought through solution. As the boomers get to the end of their working life, and give up the private health insurance they have had for years, there are going to be ever increasing numbers wanting to use the NHS. It cant cope now.... so what are Labour suggesting? More appointments? that needs more staff, where are they coming from, who is paying them (and their pensions, more staff will only exacerbate the ?2.6trn of unrecognised debt to public sector pensions, so that's another problem for another day). All paid for by solving tax dodging apparently...

Private service and private sector buildings means less capital building for the govt, less borrowing to fund it, and no more PFI deals such as Blair was keen on and it seems Reeves is, which have hamstrung the NHS ever since...

PS I know Wiki isnt the most reliable thing in the world but this is interesting for which countries already have a mix - including some of those that are thought of as being ahead of the UK...

https://en.wikipedia...tems_by_country including Australia and Germany.

But we dont have a state system for insuring your house, car, travel, why do we for health...

A good point. However Farage is a ?democratic? politician who uses hatred to gain support. In a democratic society that leads to opposition. You most certainly are not a Nazi but your views are pretty much aligned to the majority of Germans who supported Hitler in 1933. My last assertion is based on polls. So pardon the views of ?loony/hard left wingers? but some of us see you as the problem. You follow Farage. You have seen what he did at Dulwich College. He supported the Nazis. That is his democratic view. You hanker after him. That is your right but I?d avoid trumpeting D Day. An old 60?s saying ?;Which side are you on Mr Mercury??

Watched tonight. Jesus.


Farage was farage.

Plaid Cymric we?re irrelevant as the SNP (in terms outside Scotland)

The lass from the greens was OK but she can promise what she wants she won?t get in. She impressed me though.


Raynor and Mordant - the tittle tattle and spats between them was exactly what turns people off politics. He said she said, you said they said.you did this, yeah but you said you?re gonna do that. Petty bickering, blaming each other Not much about the vision. It wasn?t what we would do make things better it was just they did or said this. Terrible from both.

The lass from the liberals spoke well, again without the yoke of being held to account by being in power.


Political debate in this country is absolute toilet
