    There is much excitement on this board among a certain demographic regarding 30% discounts for FTBs. Those people don’t care about personalities if they can get 30% off a house.
    Similarly the waspi women.

    You could say the same about the Tory/Brexit supporting OAPs who are closer to death than those who support them financially. Having consigned the UK to Brexit, they are quite happy with 5 more years of triple lock pensions, whilst the kids pay the price for their vote.

    You might have missed it but we sorted that over three years ago.

    Talking to a SHO doctor they say no one would be allowed to sleep on the floor this is staged in that like most people the kid would be waiting for his turn and rather than sitting in his mother's arms on a chair the women opted to put the kid on the floor.

    The last time I went to see the GP I had to sit in the waiting room on a chair. I fancied a lie down but there were no beds available.

    I know that's what it suits you to believe, but this story has now been confirmed by the hospital, and they have apologised to the family.

    Is for the one who had her Facebook account hacked by Tory sympathisers to fraudulently claim it didn't happen?

    More Tory lies:

    An independent investigation has found that 88% of Tory ads were either wholely or partly untrue.

    for Labour, it said that it could not find any misleading claims in ads run over the period

    When a GP sends a child into hospital they have to say the child is ill even if they don't think they are. So they will say 'maybe pneumonia'. The ambulance then take them in for assessment. When the staff find they are not really ill they are downgraded to areas where there aren't beds. Only really ill people need beds. The child was fine and discharged the next day. It's a common scenario especially for families that are stroppy with the GP. The GP just hands the problem to the hospital. It's a complete non story. Hospital managers are trained to aplogise for everything whatever the compaint is.

    Where do you get this information from? Are you actually a practicing doctor to say how medical staff treat sick kids?



    This isn't a non-story in any way, shape or form. A child was in hospital with a potentially serious illness, and wasn't able to secure a bed while being diagnosed. That's a story, whether you like it or not.

    No. It's just common sense. Who do the coats belong to? The family have just thrown them on the floor and the child has layed down on them. The staff can't stop you putting your child on the floor if you want to.
