Yes for the love of God stop David Cameron from privatising everything and leaving the poor destitute...?????? or however many ? your tag has... Lower figures of unemployment are partly because of people going self employed, and not necessarily earning more than the unemployed due to economic instability and not many people spending....

You may think so, the lib dems may think so, but the vast majority of the electorate couldn't give a damn either way.

Well... Loosely speaking, a Vindaloo in one Indian restaurant is much the same as any other Indian restaurant.


Sometimes it's nice to have a change.

So the system works because the vast majority don't give a damn? Interesting view of democracy.

The system works because we wouldn't be here today in a stable democracy which has produced stable majority government for most of the last century. The fact there isn't appetite amongst the populus for electoral reform speaks volumes too. I can understand why it would upset supporters of a minor party, but I think that's a good price to pay for stable Government (most of the time).

I agree Louisa. Electoral reform is not the subject of the title.

I have a daughter at university ( 2012) intake and the first to have paid the increased fees.

According to her there are plenty of students voting, good for them. They are exercising their democratic right to vote for the first time in their lives.

Use your vote, don't complain about the consequences if you don't .

      Milk delivery

      There was quite an old clip on BBC4 recently where they were introducing yoghurt to the British public. They called it a 'Balkan Dairy Preparation', which sounded to me more like something you'd ask to speak to the male member of staff about in the chemist in those days.

      I haven't had any problems, except when the online  appointment system is full, but I have found if something is urgent they can fit you in if you phone. I think they probably keep a few spaces free for urgent last minute appointments, but I'm just guessing  I've found it quite convenient being able to email questions which previously I would have had to ask at an actual appointment, and I've always had a speedy reply. You can send photos as well. I don't know about forms and letters. That sounds bad. Have the admin staff changed recently?

      The yoghurt was very sharp (not sure of right word) and  if memory serves quite runny. Nothing like the stuff sold now. There was pink as well. Strawberry? That must have had sugar in? Too new fangled for us, but my Auntie Grace down the road used to get it 😂 Well, you had to keep up to date. Sorry, couldn't resist.
