trouble is these conditions are fashionable now. im fairly sure that a very big percentage of those diagnosed with behavior issues would be fine with a good healthy dose of 1980’s parenting.
i know someone that regularly has marks on her face or arms where her 5 year old bites or scratches her. She insists on using “positive and gentle parenting” though and refuses to tell him off. She has even started going to parenting classes where she is taught more of this cobblers.
The sad thing is that the children will grow up either believing they are special and the world owes them a living or for those that resent it will have a stigma attached to them for the rest of their lives.
First I ‘congratulate’ the EU, now I find myself ‘congratulating’ Starmer…again !
Respect to genuine disabled people abd those with genuine nental health issues…they deserve all the help they can get.
As for the habitual scroungers who will never work as long as they have holes in their arses…and never have, the undectable self diagnosis of ‘‘Bi polar’’ band wagon jumpers, and the ones who use walking sticks as a drama ‘‘prop’’ …good enough for them I say, and good on Starmer if he cuts off their life long life style benefits.
unfortunately it will be the ones that are genuine that will loose out. They wont be as adapt at playing the system as the scroungers that know all the right answers and how to tick all the boxes.
I am not about to pay to read a Torygraph article, but even the the first line gives away something:
The UK Rwanda scheme was not about sending failed asylum seekers there. It was about sending all applicants there and whether they had a legal claim to asylum or not, keep them there. ie treat legitimate claimants the same as the fraudsters.
The article states that illegal migrants will be deported…no ■■■■ Sherlock!
Exactly what the previous and current UK Governments do.
But if course, for those who only read half of a headline, if that, will be jumping up and down in excitement.
So, we have typically misleading headlines, on a typically misleading article.
The vast majority ARE fraudsters !
I reiterate, remove your head from your arse.
Also the ‘genuine’ ones would be getting asylum…in Rwanda.
I see nothing wtong with that.
you have to admit things have changed somewhat since the 80s and 90s.
Soft parenting, no discipline in schools.
Even the police told not to slap naughty kids around the head.
Problem is that, that soft generation have now had their own kids who aren’t only soft, but feckless and lawless. They suffered no consequences doing wrong, they fear nothing even death because on their X boxes they just press replay.
Then wham. this massive change, this severe curtailment of civil liberties comes along - the pandemic. You can’t go anywhere (except tories) can’t have parties (except tories) can’t buy toilet paper (except the torygraph) There is even a sense that maybe, just maybe this death business might be really serious.
For a lot of kids growing up, it’s accidents, or sudden illnesses in their oldies that is their first experience of death close up. But suddenly death is all around. The news is full of it daily. Death death death.
Daily death figures. It’s constant, more constant than the bickering between Franglies and Robbie here
So, it’s hardly surprising that mental ill-health has sky rocketed since covid in the snow flake generation that felt immortal but now sees only death.
death DEATH!
Has Trump at their meeting rubbed off on him ? (not a pleasant thought btw.)
I’m waiting for his next announcements that he is sending the Navy to stop the boats. and he has chartered a weeks worth of trains through the channel tunnel to send all the pi55 takers back to France.
Then I may begin to like him.
Even Nigel (my hero ) Farage is warming to him ffs.
Here is an unreliable news source take on it.
( Btw ex R1 DJ Gary Davies has let himself go a bit )
The Rwanda scheme may have worked, it may not. We will never know as 2 tier Kier couldn’t wait to scrap it. However, at least “trying” some sort of deterrent is better than having none as we have had since July 2024.
Edit to my post: I forgot “smash the gangs”, therefore I take back my comment above.
It’s a pity Starmer does not take a leaf out of this guy’s book.
A no nonsense no effin about common semse approach,.which will have the bed wetters reaching for their smelling salts after a lpt of pearl clutching..
I bet Starmer AND the Tories are rubbing their hands in unison (and relief) over thr fact Farage and this guy no longer love each other..
By the sounds of it he has the nhs back under government control. Think back 20 years were you were only allowed to go to the hospital in your area. If the surgeon they had was a quack tough you had to have him. If they couldnt afford a particular thing you didnt get it. It was a big divider or the haves and the have nots.
Now of course its under a political party. If the party was for the british people and fairness i see no issue but no party truly is. Doctors are lead by guidelines what happends when an invested party (the gov) makes those guide lines.
If you want to sort the nhs… you have to be tough and treat it like a business. Stop employing the wasters and the inept. Stop allowing the lazy to push off their work onto unqualified health care assistants that are nothing more than wanna be nurses because they are not allowed by the dhsc to become nurses. Stop importing even more inept people to do the job and allow our own people to be trained.
Some divide the money made more equitably than others, but they are to make money.
The NHS uses money, and needs money, and should spend money efficiently, but it is not a business and should not be run like one. No Gov dept should be run to make a profit.
I don’t think NICE is being changed in the shake up.
They come in for a lot of stick, but have very tough real world choices to make. some seem correct, some (to me) seem less so, They remain independent of Gov, but their choices are made within the financial limits Govs set.
Does that happen?
I mean outside of a few instances that will occur anywhere as huge as the NHS, but is that a substantial issue?
In the meantime the then Gov cut the number of officers processing asylum seekers, saving a fraction of that, and increasing the number held in hostels and so increasing that bill by millions too.
Insanity to most of us.
Maybe not to owners of older hotels that turned a nice steady profit from Gov contracts though.
So throwing money at a problem is better than not doing so?
Making a sensible plan and spending on that is OK.
Chucking money at something your own department says is probably illegal is stupid.
im not sure which bit your referring to so i will answer all three,
yes it is a substantial issue when patient care is compromised and ends up costing more than it would of done. go to any hospital you fancy and you will see the nurses sat around gossiping while the hca’s do the work. Speak to most people of a certain age and they will tell you experiences they have had themselves. so it isnt one of two doctors surgeries or hospitals it is nationwide. All these blaring errors cost money even if its someone sent for a scan when they dont need one or sent the wrong medication it wastes money as someone has to sort it out.
It is a well known and well documented fact that places to be a doctor or nurse are limited. It costs money to train people so they would rather import people already trained but not trained to our standard. To get around this they shout shortage now where have we heard that one before.
There is also a nationwide hiring program going on at the moment for hca’s it is nicknamed operation ginger. If you dont understand why i suggest you listen to tim minchens song about prejudiced ( the original not the lefty cant offend anyone verstion)
It did nothing because you had people in both politics and the legal system stopping it before it started. You don’t actually know whether it would or wouldn’t have worked.
Personal experience :- After a very recent routine blood test at my GP I was contacted by the receptionist to arrange a telephone consultation with a pharmacist to discuss the result.
In anticipation I had made an appt with our usual doctor (earliest one is 23 days hence!) I told the receptionist and the reply was the matter was too trivial for a doctors appt and the pharmacist would advise.
Pharmacist wants to put me on a drug (probably for my lifetime and without consulting my doctor) on the strength of one blood test and a three minute telephone call. The pharmacist wanted me to cancel the doctors appt which I refused to do.
This is now the common procedure in our GP practice. Out of six surgeries within reasonable travelling distance it has the highest CQC results.
Sadly it’s common procedure nationwide. P’raps all the docs are too busy visiting the hotels full of illegals?
It is hotels btw, hostels are places full of laughter, enthusiasm and bright eyed young things on their gap year backpacking around the far east as opposed to dead eyed young men full of resentment and hatred towards their host country.
Marathon snack bars were rebranded Snickers, they’re still the same thing but with a different name.

) Farage is warming to him ffs.
