Innit?
Early to mid December Whiston Hospital was the same, was there with my Daughter, just awful, beds all full, right around the corridors, the Tories have won, the times in Hospital are 10 to 12 hour wait in A&E department, in that time you see a Triage for assessment. If you are poorly enough they then take you up to the tv room off the ward, we were there overnight, then after medication you are sent to a room for up to a full day with two other patients, only difference is the seats are bigger, a bit more comfortable and can be lifted up to stretch you're legs. Doctors do keep an eye on you and give you medication. Feel sorry for the Doctors, it's an unenviable task. My Daughter was given an overnight bed, next day she was advised to go home as she could be better treated at home away from sickness of people in the Hospital with medication.
Absolutely this.
Personally, I think we are now too far down the road. It's too late.

It’s every man for himself now. Survival of the fittest. I’ve decided having kids probably isn’t for me. Living with your folks (albeit temporarily) at 35 isn’t really conductive for that.
If you can take advantage of this recession then you should. Me and my friend are planning to go halves on a house, renovate it, and flip it when the prices recover probably next year. I don’t feel very good about it tbh, but I’m sick of struggling.

The doctor I was speaking too, who was clearly upset, also said that as bad as things were at the Royal that on that night, that Whiston was even worse with their A&E so busy that there was an estimated 40 hour wait. I understand that this time of year is busier and there is a spike in flu and covid cases but you'd hope that we could factor in capacity to deal with such things. Apparently Whiston had people on beds outside under the shelter. Just not what you should expect from one of the worlds richest countries.
Our NHS staff are run ragged. Watching them the other night it angered me to think that yet again they are fighting to protect our loved ones as they did heroically during the pandemic and these shills in office have offered them was banging pans, whilst pocketing pay rises themselves and seemingly giving our money to their mates for products and services that were not fit for purpose. I would not describe myself as radical but I am convinced that we need radical change or we will be stuck in something akin to a Victorian era society.
There are too many comfortable with the status quo. That balance needs to tip the other way before anything meaningful or change happens. It'll take a generation in my view, but I think it's inevitable and until then, society gets sicker and worse and more dangerous as a result.

My old dear is in Whiston Hospital now, Pneumonia coupled with her long Covid and Covid induced asthma which meant her sats were dangerously low.
She spent near 48 hours in a corridor before she was admitted into a ward. There were multiple ambulances outside with patients waiting to come in; staff were going out with hot drinks for them.
I truly feel for the staff in there, we were told by a nurse that at one point there was only 2 doctors in the entire hospital. These nurses were subjected to everything from racism to being spat at. They're paying every day for this criminal government's (in)actions.

Sorry to hear about your mum, Tommy. I hope that she is feeling better soon.
You are spot on in saying that what the Tory's have done is criminal. I believe like many that we need to see some of these MP crooks given lengthy jail terms and have their assets seized. It probably won't happen because they have their hands on the wheel but if we want a better world for our kids then these sorts of things need to happen, IMO.

I think you’re right. Too many people can’t see the situation for what it is, or are too busy swinging their fists in pointless culture wars.
It’ll take more people dying whilst waiting for ambulances, more people starving to death because food banks have run our etc. for it to take full effect I think.
I saw my grandparents at Xmas. Little Englanders in their 80s who have voted Tory all their lives. They do not marry up the issues that you describe (not any of the other issues the country faces today) as caused by the Tories.
So guess what happens come voting time at the next GE.
Utterly incredible. But I expect, not unique.
I'm supposed to be coming over soon, just in case, I'd best make sure I've got the best holiday health cover boxes ticked - you never know in these 3rd world countries
The petes of this world have no interest in making lives better (apart from their own) or righting wrongs, they are soley interested in ideological victory on every level. They don't care what the human or environmental cost of that will be as long as their ideology wins.
There was an astonishing moment in the EU thread where Roydo quite reasonably asked Joey how brexiteers throwing EU human rights laws out will affect folk and Joeys response was to compare human rights lawyers to ambulance chasers. I found that to be such an obnoxious and lazy response that lacked the basic responsibilty we all should have when we cast a vote of asking ourselves honestly, did I do the right thing? Get these lads onto their ideology and they are utter psychopaths.

Another rise in the cost of living.
Bloody hell, how can they expect people to pay that?
I might be wrong but I think you could add together the average heating bills of about 8 or 9 European countries and they’d be less than that . I don’t think anyone comes close to about 15% of what we’re paying and frankly that’s an absolute scandal
