The next election is shaping up to be a seriously interesting clusterf*$#. You have the forever purse lipped and slightly clammy Dave, spooked by the scotland referendum, middle east reigniting and defections and Tory votes going to UKIP. Farage has become much more than just an annoyance. He's still reliant on the Lib Dems for power but the past coalition and the terminally ineffective Clegg have been disastrous for that party.


Daves announcement of income tax cuts for the squeezed middle without any indications as to what will pay for that is a cheap last ditch vote winning ploy given the current budget deficit. More will follow in the autumn statement in December.


Meanwhile poor Labour. Whilst all of the above holds true re Milliband, the thought of him as PM is laughable. Never has it had a leadership that lacks such backbone and conviction. I can see only one outcome - a toothless interim coalition, further public disillusion and the left moving further left and the right move further right.


And Boris?......seriously???


Never have I been less tempted to use my hard won right to vote.

It may be cheap, but it ought to do the trick.


Nothing says 'vote for me' quite like someone stuffing a fat roll of fifties into your top pocket.

    • I'm happy not seeing a GP face to face.  I had WhatsApp video appointments a couple of years ago,which ended up with me being rightly sent to Tommies A and E.  I see nurses from time to time at TJ, I always have a good laugh with both them and the blood test people.  I see the practice nurse at FH from time to time and it feels like visiting an old friend. I'm not sure whether social media has made us a more negative nation, or it just feels this way due to some of you who post on this forum.  The majority of posts in ED matters and on the transport thread are complaints  How would you define lazy and useless?  There is a spectrum of productivity, and of customer service.  Some excel at one or both, but I'm not sure at what point workers drop below an acceptable level.  When I am unhappy I will complain to an organisation. Some respond better than others.  One of my first posts over a decade was to complain about a local shop.  It's a funny anecdote which is essentially a "Ok you don't want my money so I'll go and spend many 100s of pounds at a different company" but I regret not dealing directly with the shop rather than getting pointless revenge many years later.  Still won't use the shop though.        
    • Now as an ex patient my impression was that their is a general lack of accountability  or responsibility by the staff at FHRGP and heaven forbid you should disagree with them, "not allowed". They want total control with no scrutiny. How that practice survives, I really don't know.  That being said, two or three of the staff are excellent. 
    • Why would they hide malumbu? I don’t have an attitude, but their reception staff do. I still smiled and thanked . Go and experience it. Sue , because that’s how it works . I wasn’t there for myself, someone else. Venting on here helps me, however I’m under no obligation to make any sense to you. You sound deluded about staff sitting around  doing job related things , have you had your Covid jabs?
