    I love and depend on the NHS - but it's being starved of money and stretched thin on purpose. Policy makers don't have to use it, and don't have a waitlist.

    And everyone keeps voting for the team of rich fucks that want to dismantle it and force inflate private healthcare on all, lining their pockets. Disgusting

      Even from the US, I find the crab-bucket, servile nastyness of British mainstream media to be especially open and nauseating

      They'll probably take it as a compliment, but some people are total lumpens that yearn for the mines.

        Ah we shut most of the mines in 70's/80's, and decided that anyone who lived in a mining or factory town could get fucked while London got rich.

        I work at a coal mine! _

        I yearn for the mines. Its nice and chilly and dark. I wear all black and hate the sun. I thought it would be bad for my skin but the coal dust dries me out and killed all my acne. Now im nice and smooth, unlike my coworkers.

      Do you remember the days where people were complaining that they wanted to book a GP appointment more than 48 hours later but were being told they had to see their GP within 2 days? Good times.

        My last major health crisis in a series of years resulted in some answers, but I'm not yet in recovery stage, still severely anaemic (and all the confusion, depression and exhaustion that generates). Everytume I was off work with SIBO/IBS it was 2 week before I could get hold of a doctor, and until last time I had no idea it was celiac disease :0
