    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Telling in what way? PIP is not diagnosis based, its based on need and meeting the criteria. You or I could call the doctor today, have a 5 minute appointment and walk out with medication for stress, anxiety or depression without a formal diagnosis or ongoing treatment plan. The bar for that is...

    About time. Wonder if misconduct in public office is just the first step. Bloke should be rotting in jail.

    Having said I was going to watch Small Prophets weekly I got through the whole thing in one sitting at the weekend. Absolutely loved it. Thank fuck they didn't use CGI. Looks like series 2 has been confirmed, no idea where they're going to go with the story but can't wait to find out.

    Not sure what point he's making here? Why wouldn't the company that BCC have a contract with to provide interim accommodation due to the lack of social housing be classed as housing services? If the contact is the best option or value for money is an entirely different issue and the answer to...

    Not sure it will tbh. There is zero chance the capacity can be found for that volume of formal diagnosis. We can't manage it for people who desperately need it for their treatment plans to be formulated let alone anyone else. So it will have to be done elsewhere in the system. So then the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Took nearly 2 years from me going to the doctors to having my initial assessment, which is only the first step on the road to getting a diagnosis. What are you doing in that time, turning everyone away? Don't claim anything btw, don't think I'm eligible. Pretty sure it's not as easy as some...

    presumably in order to enable this they've got a viable plan to get the waiting lists for mental health services from years to days. or is the suggestion something more like the infamous work capability tests?

    Things that annoy you

    Takes me hours to get to work now. There's no common sense used. Leamington isn't great at the best of times in rush hour but it seems they've decided to have roadworks simultaneously on every route coming from the north side.

    Thank fuck for that. Now to get a run going. Where has this team been the last couple of months? Nice to have a couple of things go in our favour for a change. I'd have been fuming if we'd conceded that route one goal. And finally a penalty. Seemed like slow motion waiting for the ref to...

    CWR trying to give me a heart attack. Switch in and they’re talking about the club being £60m in debt and going into administration!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    What I meant was that as a result of the local government reorganisation, which I believe is to resolve the issue of some area's having two tiers of local government, there was concern that we, ie: taxpayers, would be spending a large amount of money holding elections for seats & councils that...

    Which elections are these? Assume we're not spending time on money holding elections for councils that are being abolished in the local government reorganisation!

    cricket 2025

    A wins a win and all that but lets be honest. Its Italy, should not be a game that comes down to 20 runs and have the commentators still talking about a shock win with 2 overs to go. If it was a one off you could say maybe they took it too easy or it was just one of those days but every...

    I hope Lampard and the squad don't have the attitude some supporters seem to have because the current 'we're in an automatic spot' could very quickly become 'we're in the play offs' before coming 'oh shit, we've fucked this right up'. For all the talk of record number of points, no team failing...

    Are we having a year where we don't see our council tax bill go up way beyond inflation while services get cut???

    Immigration and Asylum

    Personally I think the vast majority of people are pretty much on the same page when it comes to immigration and asylum. Sure there will be outliers who don't want a single person coming into the country or who believe in completely open borders but while they may make a not of noise that's not...
