**Services may have to be cut unless NHS England receives an extra £10bn in funding next year, groups representing the health service have warned.**

I can help them a little. A close relative of mine received a letter from her GP inviting her to have a shingles jab. This was on 27th August. She made an appointment for today and arrived as instructed. "I'm not ready to give you your jab" says the nurse, "because you are not yet 70."

"But you invited me. The letter said nothing about being over 70. If that's the case why did you send the letter? In any case you took my date of birth when I made the appointment. Anyway, I'm 70 in three days' time so it should be alright, surely."

"Sorry. I'll make you another appointment."

"No you ****ing won't. You've wasted enough of my time and of taxpayers' money. I'll take my chances."

So, an appointment wasted. A letter wasted. Nurse's time wasted. Patient untreated. "The envy of the world?"

The UK has been defined as a National Health Service with a country attached, the average pay for a doctor is now £100,000 p.a. & my daughter has had to wait 3 weeks to see one in person. No political party dare take on the inevitable task of a complete reform. The NHS is most definitely not 'the envy of the World'.

mozz: "And please keep things respectful, as I have tried to do. You're not talking to Gulliver anymore. " - I have look above, I am not the one resorting to nastiness.
TTT 'nasty lefties' is one of your routine references to people left of you. Please don't play the victim card.
where have I said that on here, my responses above are only in response to your insults above.
athiest: "TTT, I used to think you just nasty; now I realise I was wrong; you are also stupid. " - ...and you wonder why I hit back?
TTT; you've been calling people 'nasty lefties' since I discovered AB. I know that you enjoy winding people up. I don't like doing that. But tonight I let myself go a bit. I've always tried to be reasonable, but there are limits! Surely you must enjoy a bit of feisty backchat?
TTT; I notice that even the nasty righties haven't jumped in to slap me down.
-- answer removed --
Tora - //I have look above, I am not the one resorting to nastiness.//

Oh really?

//You remoaners should learn English.//
//You lost, get over it.//

Although, I'll take //Both sides used their resources to fight for their view.// as an admittance that the Leave campaign lied.


Was the other slogan on the bus, "Let's take back control" only a suggestion?
athiest, why not have a go at the points I made at 20:26?
//I notice that even the nasty righties haven't jumped in to slap me down.//
Slap. Take that you wannabee intellect without evidence. Being deliberately clever when you are not, and deliberately stupid when you are not is sickening to reasonable folk. You seem to manage both at the same time.
TTT; I think I am left of you and so I have always been one of the 'nasty lefties' even before I ever posted here. You're a bully and bullies need to be called out. There are many here with whom I might disagree, but most of them are able to disagree without being disagreeable: you're not one of them. Tonight is the first night I have used the term 'nasty righties', and you don't like someone talking back to you in your own lingo. Get over it.
mozz: "Although, I'll take //Both sides used their resources to fight for their view.// as an admittance that the Leave campaign lied. " - evidence please, no one lied, both sides used what they had and their strategy. I don't think the remoaners where lying when they predicted all their project fear scenarios, to predict is not to lie but the left seem to have problems with what a lie is.
Okay, deliberately mislead rather than lie.

I'll leave the lying to you when you say you're not the one resorting to nastiness ;-)
athiest: "TTT; I think I am left of you and so I have always been one of the 'nasty lefties'" - you still don't get it do you? You have to be nast to be a nasty lefty and you are being.
" You're a bully and bullies need to be called out." - I'm not I am merely responding to your non arguments and name calling. "There are many here with whom I might disagree, but most of them are able to disagree without being disagreeable: you're not one of them." - err no, look above you are having a hissy fit because your arguments have been comprehensively demolished, all you have left is this whining epitaph that the nasty man is a bully! PMSL
"Tonight is the first night I have used the term 'nasty righties', and you don't like someone talking back to you in your own lingo. Get over it. " - I'm not under it, I get called names every day, water off a ducks back sunshine. now have a go at 20:26
mozz: "I'll leave the lying to you when you say you're not the one resorting to nastiness ;-) " - only responding to carp thrown my way. I never start it.
anyway when I say "nasty left" I'm usually referring to something like this rather than an Aber:

Positively Orwellian. :-)
Atheist You are just wasting your time even talking to TTT he is suffering from severe Radicalisation , and has recently had a strong attack of Tunnel Vision also recently fitted with new Blinkers. not really his fault , think he needs help
//I never start it.//

Really? Both the quotes I mentioned @20:56 where made in direct response to my posts, so I have to assume they were both addressed to me.

At least take ownership of your nastiness. Quite frankly, it's water of a duck's back to me, but you're better that trying to wriggle your way out of if, even in a politics thread!
