The amount of hospital beds and A+E time taken up by elderly/vulnerable people because social care is shit is staggering

Its the same negligence, incompetence and mismanagement of the elected that has decimated the communities over the UK, a country that prided itself of people front and centre that had working communities and towns and flourishing cities has now became a dog eat dog waste land with little industries left and the ones we do are severely underfunded and failing.

looks like grenades being used in france now as well as sweden

Not surprised really the system is crashing the structures are breaking and it needs a reboot possibly forced but looking at it i think the way things are shaping up in the next decade tops a totalitarian communist reform of Europe binding everyone together will be enforced.

Not what i want in any way shape or form but sadly i see them enforcing it.

Not convinced it will be communist in the form that people recognise

More likely to be a fascist state

Corporatist autocracy

@wacka Why is france using explosive shit against protestors

Because the protestors are evil far-right terrorists, Loremaster

Ah yes

the Socialists

Would be the same in many ways surely then ? @Eccles

wheres that list...

of headlines over the decades showing the same old "NHS at crisis point"

since about the 50's

its still he best performing health service in the world

I would like to see them myself my wife was advised from the lecturers at University yo either go abroad to work or look at a different role within the NHS because of underfunding or lack of demand despite the cry out for help for more bodies across all fronts.

She changed her mind from midwifery to child nursing which she end up quitting in 3rd year for reasons im not sure would be appropriate in here if im honest.

real terms - https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/166A5/production/_101731819_chart-nhs_spend-srmmu-nc.png

so its adjusted for inflation... I dunno how they got by on whatever 25bn was back then

Would be interesting to see how that breaks down in terms of per capita

imagine if it was still 25bn (so it just grew with inflation)

I agree. More than likely fear porn on some fronts from those elected to present “facts” to the people

You can throw money at the NHS doesn’t mean it’s going to be more functioning

Tories have mismanaged it like they’ve mismanaged education

pick up a paper from any decade in the last 50 years and youll see "nhs in crisis"

Yea cause when it’s in a bad situation, making it even worse is a good thing

and yet the US commonwealth produces an aggregate report every year and the NHS has been ranked best in the world for at least the last 20 years
