I suppose it is but usually a more acute condition than if someone arrives by car or on foot.sounds to me you didn't need to go in the first place Robbie 😷
I spent all evening and all night waiting to be seen and eventually admitted in April after being taken to A&E, eventually felt better but was given medication that made me worse than when I arrived. A flipping nightmare, never again if I can avoid it.
I think BJ's reaction was odd ...

Robbie ,
I apologise . I misread your post 😘
Not optimistic at all I'm afraid Susan.
I worked in it for many years and all, I repeat ALL of my former colleagues are dispirited and depressed about the direction of travel under this govt and the likely future govt. They (and I) do not believe that the current hard right conservative government cares at all about the NHS except as a means of generating capital for their friends in the private sector.
Voting for Johnson supports the deaths from the the welfare policies we have had.
It would be interesting, and probably helpful, if someone here would suggest which party to vote forwith regard to the NHS. However, no-one should vote on that subject alone and I, for one, shall vote for my local - mostly good - Conservative MP.Johnson doesn't care about your caveat. He thanks you for your vote and will spaff it up the wall.
I utterly disagreed though with his leave the EU opinions.
It wouldn't matter if I did not, he will get in with a large majority.
I am absolutely not voting for Johnson, I think he's an idiot.

All these negative rants are useless and get nobody anywhere. How about coming up with the two least worst and saying how they would be better.
I have known my local MP for many years. He is a decent man.
Just choosing anything other than the Tories has to better, in that you'd not be supporting the likes of Johnson, Raab, Patel, Truss et al. Even if your local MP is a decent guy his party is responsible for the current Brexit shambles and his leader is a liar.Apart from the fact of the majority vote here, any vote is going to produce a choice of PM to Corbyn or Johnson. Which do you think is the lesser of those two depressing choices?
Pity you can't vote SNP.

Corbyn by a country mile - but he's very unlikely to get an actual majority anyway, so we're really looking at a Boris majority (most likely and most horrific) or a Corbyn minority government that will have to compromise with other parties.

As for equating me, in a sweeping generalisation, with the party liked least, well, that is of course a wrong idea. I was going to say 'unfair', but that would be a feeble and silly response.

But negative rants is where our politics are now.Thank you for your - positive! - reply. I have spent some time writing a thought-out response, clicked on post … only for it to come up with the 'can't reach this page' notice, so I've lost it. If I can face it, I'll try again … … *shakes head sadly*

Voting Tory is voting for the rich and privileged, against ordinary people, and is a kick in the teeth for anybody needing any help from the state. It's a vote against honesty in politics and for a narcissistic, self-serving, serial barefaced liar who cares about nothing but himself.
And yet, if we get a Tory majority it will be in large part because of the support of 'ordinary people' in traditionally Labour voting areas who seem determined now to 'get Brexit done' by voting for the very elite they claim to loathe. Go figure.
Indeed. Seldom has that famous saying about turkeys and Christmas been more apt.
As always would just say that you are not voting for a party or party leader but for an individual to send to the Commons.
Vote for the person you think is the most compassionate, intelligent, and competent in the areas you think are most important, eg. in this case on NHS funding.
And as we now know, because they've told us, these turkeys knew exactly what they were voting for.
Except that you aren't only voting for that, you are in addition contributing to the decision of who is going to be Prime Minister - your vote has consequences beyond which local MP you get.
O.

Indirectly yes. However every party has a bundle of policies some you may like, others that you don't. Those policies will be discussed, reviewed, amended and passed as legislation before implementation - the last thing you want is for a wind-up slogan pusher to be making the decisions on them.Which is effectively most of them - if you don't know your MP will vote against party policy and what they will vote against, then you either know they will vote for it, or need to assume that they will

Go figure.And why shouldn't they, I ask myself. I am absolutely a remainer, but the majority of those who bothered to vote in the referendum was in favour of leave, so I think it would be an insult to them, however much I disagree with them and would like to give them a good shaking for voting that way, if that result was simply overturned. That is also why I think that if the Labour Party voted for a second referendum, I'd be tempted to vote leave.
