I'm going fucking stir crazy, no good for shit, all this. If you want, although we want to debate the finer points of post-recession economics to understand why I term 'government debt' and 'personal debt' differently my inbox is always open. Having an economy you can boost to repay debt makes a massive difference to how you can treat that debt, austerity is based on the lie (by self-serving politicians) or misbelief that you need to cut spending to remove government debt when you don't you can increase revenue, increasing revenue is the much less deadly solution. As you said though I don't think we'll ever agree on economics.... we've had similar discussions in the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youth in Asia 1,087 Posted April 12, 2020 In a statement Johnson’s fiancee Carrie Symonds said she “cannot thank our magnificent NHS enough” after the primeminister’s return to Chequers following coronavirus treatment, adding: “The staff at St Thomas’ Hospital have been incredible. I will never, ever be able to repay you and I will never stop thanking you.” She added: “There were times last week that were very dark indeed. My heart goes out to all those in similar situations, worried sick about their loved ones. “Thank you also to everyone who sent such kind messages of support. Today I’m feeling incredibly lucky.” Does she realise that people quite often think they're getting better then suddenly die? Such as Tim Brooke-Taylor for instance.

Raab is a useless person to have as a deputy in a crisis. He doesn't have the same... presentation as any other leader of a party or country has etc. You need to be calm in a crisis and give the public confidence. Now with the treatment Boris has had with NHS nurses will he give them back their bursaries so they can actually train without being in debt? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the risk of getting very political, I do hope that he, and the rest of the Tory party, realise that the NHS is an extremely importantpart of our country and instead of hacking away at it and selling bits off to the private sector we might see some serious investment. The health service isn't as well equipped as Italy and Germany to deal with it and our country has been caught out as a result. We will see whether there is a massive change of strategy once the dust settles with the NHS getting serious investment and not existing on a wing and a prayer (my Dad was in hospital in January with an infection and the poor nursing staff were being run ragged as a result of staff shortages - this can't continue after what we are currently witnessing). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
