Re: Post referendum

... prefer a better NHS that puts the patient first regardless of who is running it. Unfortunately it tries to be all things to all people and ends up being a compromise for most of what it does. It needs some honesty from all sides as to what can or can't do and should or shouldn't do for the public.

Re: Formula 1

Boring as feck.

TBH, I don't see MotoGP as being all that exciting either....there's only a handful of drivers/riders in either sport that ever have a realistic chance of winning. I haven't watch either for a while now. It'll still be there when I decide to.
