Let me get this straight.....I can't stand Corbyn, Abbot, McDonnell etc. They are ruining the opposition to a poor Govmt by their incompetence. Totally agreed......but that does not absolve balanced people from calling out this Govmt for their failures. The NHS is in a terrible hole, social care is even worse. The Surrey sweetheart deal is just skated over....May being held hostage by the loon fringes in her own party is a serious problem for our future, etc. Corbyn is not to blame for these things!setmefree2 wrote: »0 -

Peak old people : glad I'm not a boomer (and I have private health insurance!).
That peak just after the war is 1947 to 1948 - those guys are now turning 70.....add in all the people that came to the UK in the 50 and 60s from the commonwealth who were probably also in the 20s born 40s...you get peak old people...
....buy some private health insurance!0 -

Look at the German model......people cough up more there, despite losing the war! and having all their industry dismantled and taken to Russia. We have to face up to it. It's about choices. When Blair was in power spending as a proportion of GDP was much larger than it is now!posh*spice wrote: »because we had a recession and we can't really afford the NHS in its current form...but people don't really want to face the truth

yes Blair was borrowing a lot of money (even in a boom) for current day to day spending on the NHS (and other stuff) .... this broke Brown's own "Golden Rule" of only borrowing for infrastructure/investing in the future...
you do have to face up to it....buy yourself some private heath insurance and leave the NHS to those who need it....Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.0 -
