He should swing, he's pleaded guilty. The problem comes when someone is found guilty.

he wouldn't have pleaded guilty of he thought he would be hanged rather than a minimum term and free.

Which bits do you 'not not' agree to?

 

 

I’d not totally abolish the NHS but I’d agree with getting rid of the huge numbers of massively over paid administrative staff and managers the current system supports. It’s an out of control inefficient money pit at the moment that’s barely functioning in the role it was created for.

I'm confused, Kwarteng has said 150 military tankers will be out and about but they will be driven by civilians, does he mean the TA. If not where have these civilian drivers come from.

whilst amusing as it is to watch the farce that is  socialism/labour its distracting from the muppetry that's going on in gov. A true Conservative gov is needed.

 

Bring back law and order with real sentences, including capital punishment for life sentence cases, pedo's, terrorists etc

End of dole/benefits as a life-style choice.

Woke / Political correctness banned and made a criminal offence.

abolition of the NHS and return to local hospitals and surgeries with direct local accountability.

automatic deportation within 48 hours of those entering the country illegally,.

 

You forgot village stocks and public flogging - apart from that - where do I sign.....🤣

Eggs these dicks coming on TV every day spouting shit have no more idea where these drivers are gonna come from than you or I 🤷‍♂️. Makes me laugh when politicians keep talking of calling in the Army, yet year after year they keep cutting its numbers. Total of all UK armed forced 149000 ish, total NHS workforce 1.2 million, of which over 50000  are on £100k a year plus “often much much more” There’s something badly badly wrong with those figures in my eyes. 
Fuel crisis if there ever was one was a creation of the media, somehow it didn’t get to NI or rural Aberdeenshire in my case. Mind you I did hear Iron Bru is in short supply but  “only in Scotland”.

Referendum would be nice post Brexit on the matter.

But as soon as Steamer mentioned it in his speech, the hysterical baying mob reacted as if he was referring to some great, almighty Diety.

 

Many of us have had life changing / saving experiences with the NHS (I guess the overwhelming majority were actually born with the assistance of that service - not sure if Stubby pre-dates NHS??) and whilst there is much to be immeasurably grateful for, the whole institution has become like some sacred beast that may never be questioned and must be fed an ever increasing sum of money just to keep it ticking over.

 

If ever there was a subject that would benefit from less 'heat' and more 'light' "NHS - the next 50 years" would be it.
