Theresa May announcement

[Monty]

....Oh shut up you dick!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion Monty.?

Is that a euphemism, for everyone has an arsehole?

[Blade]

Would get my length sorry I mean vote

[duke63]

Surely not, Blade. It's she who does all the shafting.

[StMarks]

The nation will have its say in a fair and democratic system.

I hope you are right Mr Blade.
I really hope that "the nation" does not actually comprise a majority of dismayed & disillusioned people like me who feel powerless to prevent the demise of the society we have enjoyed for the last few decades.
I really really hope that the aforementioned IRA will not become empowered (potentially along with new parallel groups elsewhere).
I really really really hope that our split does not start to undermine the European Union, and the peace & harmony that it has created between all of it's increasing number of member states.

I hope.

[Monty]

As my old boss and mentor used to say to me "Hope is not a strategy, get out there and make it happen!" That's what I'm doing. Well I would be if I hadn't being in Mallorca for the last two weeks, and away in Italy with work the week before!

[Blade]

I was going to say typical labour, full of excuses for ineffective action and results but I would rather say hope you had a very nice holiday and feel suitably relaxed

Do you mean the NHS, the welfare system or the working week?

Not to mention the aqueduct!

Have a look at the Naylor Report. It basically sets out how the NHS should be sold off.

The Tories support it.

For those of you who CBA to read.

I couldn't load the link for some reason but can't watch the vid cuz work.

Will try and remember to read this later

Here's an extract from the link:-


Deborah Harrington of the NHA Campaign Team said, "Property developers should not be at the forefront of recommendations surrounding the public estate. When NHS services are put 'at arm's length' that means we are losing public ownership and control. Public estates are a lucrative investment for the private sector, but at the cost of a loss of available funds for the front line care that our services exist to provide. PFI's inflated costs are well known, but the increasing privatisation of NHS property is happening in other areas too. Virgin bought its health business from Assura in 2010 in order to profit from increasing NHS privatisation and changed the company's name to Virgin Care in 2012. But Assura's main NHS business is in rental property for GP surgeries. Assura declared its profits for 2016-17 as £95.2 million before tax. In 2015-2016 they were £28.8 million. That's up 230.6%. That should be a national scandal.

The Naylor Report's vision of accelerated sale of NHS property does not enhance health provision. Property developers stand to make profit from land acquired on the cheap. NHS Property Services Ltd has already commercialised the leases on the properties it acquired in the 2012 transfer and is implementing the imposition of commercial rents. The biggest transfer of properties so far took place in December 2016, when the company completed the transfer of the freeholds of 12 community hospitals in Devon into its ownership, with the last line of their press release stating 'leases to regularise occupation are currently being finalised'. It is clear that in this context 'regularise' can only mean 'commercialise'.

People do seem to be warming towards Corbyn. I doubt he's done enough to swing popularity into his favour but this election may be closer than the Prime Minster expected or hoped for.

[StMarks]

Lynton Crosby orders Tory campaign to focus on ‘successful Brexit’

Oxymoron.?

[Monty]

People do seem to be warming towards Corbyn. I doubt he's done enough to swing popularity into his favour but this election may be closer than the Prime Minster expected or hoped for.

Any result other than increasing her majority and she's gone. Along with Boris, Davis and Rudd etc. Some Senior Tories are absolutely livid with her campaign so far.

That's going to make starting BREXIT negotiations 11 days after the election very interesting.

This could go down as the biggest Clusterfcuk in British political history and a little tiny part of me doesn't want to win.

[Perkles]

I think she's floundering and not as tough as she likes to make out
She is loosing a lot of Tory voting pensioners support

[Kwacky]

It'll be interesting to see if the Tories do move against her after the general election. Brexit is a poisoned chalice. Who wants that job?

Heaven help us, we could end up with someone like Hunt in charge.

[Monty]

Pray for Ken Clarke!

[Cav]

When will Batman step up to the mark and save us?!

[StMarks]

..... Brexit is a poisoned chalice. Who wants that job? .

It would probably best suit the Conservatives to have Labour win this election, then the they can blame the inevitable fiasco ahead elsewhere.??
