I know it is just a joke, but death rates increase naturally when you have an ageing population as the UK does at the moment.

Is the graph not correct?

No. The graph looks pretty accurate to me.

The years where the death rate fell. They're going up again, must be the pollen count.

I'm not sure if you're being serious. But considering the amount of pensioners in the country has never been higher, and is projected to rise year on year for the next 2 decades, then people are gonna die....

Them tory scum letting our people die lol

"Professor Danny Dorling, from Oxford University, an advisor to PHE on older age life expectancy, said: “When we look at 2015, we are not just looking at one bad year. We have seen excessive mortality - especially among women - since 2012.

“I suspect the largest factor here is cuts to social services - to meals on wheels, to visits to the elderly.

"We have seen these changes during a period when the health service is in crisis, while social care services have been cut back."

Not really a lol ing matter?

Our population has never been higher, and our average age of population has never been higher. I'm gonna hazard a guess that these factors played a part in people dying.

But all the same we need to radically change our welfare state as it wasn't designed for a population of 70m and life expectancy well into the 80s. I certainly don't have the answers to that one.

Around 80 people a month die due to benefit sanctions/being classed as fit to work,just think how that couple of 1000 a week can help cut the billions owing

I can't disagree with you as, like you, I guesstimate at what is the reason. That article though did say..

How to fix it? Maybe the analysts who were employed for the Brexit campaign, could be better utilised?

That manifesto is as funny as it is frightening, in how the official political opposition in this country is about as viable as a university socialist political debate club.

 

[chicoazul]

Loving most how the tories deflect so much when it's pointed out to them what scumbags they endorse for government. You utterly spineless lizards. Scousers hate you.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Just saying.

Sure a fine scientist like yourself can appreciate that correlation does not imply causation
