    32 of 35, not all the same model as ours. Some use private insurance but it's a totally different model to the states. and as I pointed out earlier 12-15 depending on how you calculate have higher per capita spend than we do. 62% of bankruptcies in US involve some level of health care debt, 1 in...

    I can recall many people on here including myself blaming (New) Labour for the introduction PFI, (I'm fairly sure it was actually the tories but Labour accelerated it like you said). I'm not sure what your point is, do you think a Corbyn government would be similar to Blairs government?

    defund, render unfit for purpose, privatise. The oldest trick in the neo liberal book.

    at the moment. There have been several meeting between the tories and private medical and insurance companies and trump let the cat out of the bag, (the look May gave him said it all). The fact Hancock was unaware of the meetings even though he is health minister would almost make you think they...

    I'm not ignoring it. But you're mad if you think that's the route the tories want to push us down. They want the US model and don't care about the deaths and bankruptcies that causes.

    Student accommodation. Hope it's not another Grenfell but no reports of casualties at the moment so hopefully everyone has got out safely.

    Huckerby, Whelan, Hall

    I honestly believe Whelan should have played for England. I remember him doing a couple of shifts wide left for us and he was superb at a time when it was a problem position for the national team. Surprised Ireland never made a move for him but not sure what the rules were then as he'd played...

    according to the OECD we are 16th in the world for per capita health care spend. I think that includes public and private but even with private removed we move up the list, (I'm not sure exactly where that pus us), but we still don't make the top ten. The health care crisis up to people living...

    there was a report that about 1.2 billion a year went to fraudulent claims but 1 billion a year was either underpaid or not claimed so net loss 200 million. Tax evasion costs 4.4 billion a year according to HRMC and tax evasion 2.7 billion but guess which one gets a disproportionate amount of...

    You mean you'd rather prevent another 130000 deaths from austerity than give tax breaks to corporation's, billionaires and millionaires? What's wrong with you?

    So the tories are pursuing a frivolous, expensive waste of tax payers money, that's what you're saying?

    Have you seen what Boris is promising? When asked where the money was coming from for the 40 hospitals the tories said they were going to build Matt Hancock answer was the money will come in the future. Do you consider that to be sound ecocomics?

    Killers to play the Ricoh

    bit of a coup. Last time I saw them in Coventry there were about 500 people there. Don't think I'll bother with this but I know plenty who will. @Skybluefaz Manics supporting. You're not going to miss that are you?
