    Both the GP and social care have impacted - one on the way in, the other on the way out. Shorter GP opening has resulted in more going in, but lack of social care places means people, esp elderly, aren't able to leave despite not needing the same level of care as provided in hospital. Hospitals...

    Problems I've had with electric cars are that 1. the metals needed for the batteries etc can require some very environmentally unfriendly extraction/refining processes 2. we change the way we generate electricity cos even though the emissions aren't coming out the arse of the car it's still...

    Difference is Biamou had a strong work ethic that he could fall back on. Kast doesn't seem to have that as much - he should be fitter than he is even given his pre-season injury.

    Your Best England X1

    Is it true the squad numbers tonight will somehow reflect their place in England player debuts like cricket (ie if they were the 1,500 player to play for England they would be 1,500)? Always an idea I've liked and would love to see us do at some point. You keep that number throughout your time...

    Your Best England X1

    Only issue I have with that team is no midfield destroyer/workhorse. Need Bryan Robson in there for either Gazza or Beckham. Shame Duncan Edwards died so young because he could've be immense. I'd prefer to do a squad so I could add in some people like Wright and Matthews who deserve a mention...

    I wonder what happened to the porn Goblins that used to keep their stash in the woods? Maybe they all became internet trolls?

    If products are unsold or sold for less than budgeted margin under market economics the product must be poor/unwanted and it creates a gap in the market to be filled by a better competitor. That company will grow to fill the gap and will therefore replace the employment lost at the original...

    How many options available on the ballot paper for the EU referendum? How many options available in a GE? Besides a LOT more voted to remain in the EU

    Armistice Day

    There is always a choice.It is a choice to decide to stay silent or go along with something you disagree with for self-preservation. The interesting point is is it that fear that leads the majority to inaction and being complicit in actions they disagree with, or is it that enough are genuinely...

    I think it's more delusional than anything. Farage has accepted that he can't win the election outright and IMO may be being savvy pulling more and more people so if they do badly he can use the standing candidates down as an excuse for that and claiming they'd have won some of those. Swinson...

    Armistice Day

    But if enough of those at the top of the military/police disagreed with the action they could've used logistic processes etc to prevent or slow that down. In extreme measures, and I'm not advocating such things, there'd even be the option of a coup. It is why it's dangerous giving presidents...

    Still way too early to predict the outcome IMO. God knows what monumental gaffes and fuck-ups all of them will do in the next few weeks. How will Alexander do in the debates? (Mind you as long as he turns up he's outperformed May) Even the weather on the day could have an impact. More...

    Well, he got the election he wanted anyway. Whether he got the deal he wanted is debatable as he kept looking for any excuse he could to pull it.

    Armistice Day

    I get your point but in saying the people have no choice isn't always strictly true. With Hitler he undoubtedly wanted to expand Germany and lied to his people to do so, using religion as an excuse. Along the way he consolidated his power using improved economic performance as a means of...

    Rather than a double vote you have to put your vote into a machine and answer a multiple choice question or two on the issues/manifestos. If you get them wrong your vote is shredded. So those who aren't engaged in the process get less of a say than those that do engage.

    Of course it's not a national emergency - it's not in the SE. Make it london and billions would be found to defend them, esp if they were rich peoples homes. So now it's the residents fault for NOT listening to the emergency services. Wasn't it the residents fault at Grenfell because they DID...
