can't be bothered to read that but I do know that private medicine and NHS obviously exist side by side- the same doctors and consultants do both. Also there is an exodus of trained staff from the UK and they have received massive subsidised training from us (it costs ?360,000 to train a doctor for example)and there is this

Sorry about that old chap, I guess I was a bit distracted as my highly polluting car, constructed completely of ivory, was playing up that day, and I couldn't get to my weekly fox hunt on time. I guess I just thought to myself, why not just sh-t on the little guy and the NHS to at least salvage something out of a tough day.....


Or perhaps some conservative voters actually weighed up their options and made reasoned decisions based on information other than what you read in the Graun....

So that report says that ?1.8BN a year goes on so-called "health tourism." ?500M of that is recoverable. Even disregarding that, that comes to around 1.5% of the NHS budget of ?118BN. Unless you're a frothing immigrant hater who blames them for all our problems (hello uncleglen!), it's not the most significant challenge the NHS is facing right now.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
