I find it more disturbing they used the term 'pants' unless he was just only wearing his pants...which should have been an early warning to an imbalance of his mental state.

a case of the British underclass savaging each other like animals ... how far removed from the various forums perception of the 'old country'. hilariously the UK is now open to Romanian and Bulgarian immigrants who are as of this week allowed to move freely across Europe into the UK ... UK policians assure the public that they wont come in huge numbers as they are just as likely to go to other places in Europe like errm Greece, Portugal et al .. & that many would want to stay at home as they have families and so on there. Clueless Twats

wonder whats going to happen to anger amongst the british underclass .. when they cant get a lowly paid menial job even if they wanted to ..  when they cant get a council house, their benefits are cut back .. when they have to wait 6 months for a doctors appointment & if they have a nasty accident violent or otherwise cant get seen in A&E as the doctors want more and more money & the waiting rooms are full to bursting.

you are right, but the stupidity of the UK government is that it hasn't figured out the concept of giving out temporary work permits , instead of granting permanent citizenship to people along with all their dependents. they also don't let people into the country depending on their work related skill sets .. instead its a free for all, so we have all the Bangladeshi waiters & Polish brick layers that we can handle but no doctors for instance coming in to staff NHS waiting rooms.

Certain benefits have been cut back especially where their recipients are a soft target .. the disabled, the unemployed etc.

The main cost within the NHS is wages .. the labour government rewrote doctors contracts & were ridiculously generous, following in the tradition of weak spineless governments who couldn't take on the medical lobby. GPs in the UK now earn an average of £120k to work about 5 proper hours a day (9-5 with a 2 hour lunch break). Many partners in the practises earn far more, plus they top up earnings by doing shifts in their local A&Es for instance, which are overcrowded partly as nobody can see a GP out of hours (the previous 9-5 stated). NHS senior doctors are also allowed to moonlight as much as they fancy in their own private practises, as long as they are 'on call' .. which means they walk around with a beeper which they never answer. Its a joke .. these guys are worse than bankers, they drive around in porsches, & complain they are worried about patient care whenever anyone talks about reform. INSANITY.

l sacked my old doctor after not knowing what vitamin B5 and B6 was, and after she said that diet wasn't really important to health. I said to her "l am sacking you this morning and l am seeking the services of a much more qualified doctor, however l will use you for the mundane jobs such as checking blood pressure". But the thing is, l tear strips off them nicely and we are still friendly. When l see her these days she tucks her tail between her legs and is very careful in what she says because she knows l will pull the rug from under her and ruthlessly expose her ignorance.

She recently offered me a blood test. I said no and explained why blood tests are notoriously inaccurate. She said "have them anyway to make sure". I said in a stern deep voice "l am not helping you fraud the system to get kickbacks in order to top up your wages".

I really try to avoid doctors unless there is a dire emergency.  I did go recently just to get blood work.  Fit as a fiddle I am, or so say the results.  I'm pretty much right there with you Shoomeister.

Have you seen the movie Forks Over Knives, or Food Matters?  I'm guessing you have.
