When I go to pick up my prescription there's an ad playing for 'be seen immediately, private GP appointments at £65 a go. If I go on to the app my surgery uses for basic admin it pushes a similar service. Not hard to see the direction that GPs want to push things in.

Sounds simple in practice, how would it work in reality. Firstly who is responsible for the administration of this charge and how much does doing that admin cost. What happens if people can't / won't pay, does an expensive debt recovery process start for the sake of £10? Presumably you can't...

I spent 3 days in A&E a while back as they didn't quite know what to do with me. Was quite an eye opener. What you've highlighted here is essentially the problem, although it applies to far more than GPs. Other services have had funding cut to such an extent that they, to any practical extent...

Don’t worry lads, Baz has worked out the problem. We’ve been practicing too much.

We got a suspended 5 point penalty which only came into effect if we had further issues after the pitch was sorted.

well at least this should persuade King to get the cheque book out in January

Of course he scores

its complete insanity that a ref can be so incompetent with zero repercussions but if a manager or player points it out they get in trouble

that run of clean sheets seems a long time ago now. not sure we can just rely on scoring three or four every week

Fucks sake. They don't deserve that.

I just don't understand how the officiating can be so bad week in week out and not a thing is done to improve it

Really wish our fanbase didn't go into a complete state of panic every time a team sheet comes out

Trump and Farage both have a cult like following. And yes you can to a certain extent apply the same to some figures on the left but I don't think it's at the same scale. Look at the response to the Farage school stuff. Just not prepared to accept it could possibly have happened, making every...

We've also go the problem that there's not a huge number of candidates to replace these players. System is an absolute mess. You've got players like Smeed bypassing red ball completely (although he'd reversed that decision for next season, think he thought he'd be in the England side and...

It's always been a bucket list thing for me to go to the Ashes in Australia but imagine spending thousands, if not tens of thousands, and then they perform like this.

Don't bring facts into the politics thread

GB News claims they are an entertainment channel not a news channel to avoid scrutiny from Ofcom so why should Starmer and Reeves go on there?
