“Missed the point deliberately again.”

On the contrary, Heath, but let me spell it out for you. According to the article, which I had read btw, poor pay and working conditions were among the main reasons for junior doctors wanting to leave. Yet in the same organisation, i.e. the NHS, GPs are retiring at 60 on massive pensions while consultants are going part-time, having a ball playing golf, or complaining because their million-pound-plus pension funds attract too much tax.

Any company run in the same way would have gone out of business years ago. But there are many more things wrong with the NHS than just this. Anyone can see that the NHS is broken. What’s more — and I’ve said this elsewhere — I completely agree that the Tories have to take a lot of responsibility for this, but it isn’t all down to them. The seeds of many problems were sown by Labour, especially GP contracts; and if anyone tries to claim otherwise then, in the immortal phrase used on this board so often, “they are lying”.

What is staring you and your left wing mates in the face is that the most popular destination for junior doctors according to the article is Australia; and does Australia have an NHS equivalent? No. But it hardly needs a genius to work out what your reaction would be if the UK attempted to go down the same path.

NI, I don’t for one moment think I know it all, though of course you’re happy to make such comments. Just like TW and his daft “supercilious” remarks. As for your question, I thought I had answered it by referring to my time as a gardener at Scunthorpe Hospital. Obviously I should have added that this was the closest I’ve ever come to working in the public sector and it was the only one I’ve ever applied for. Absolutely loved it.

Gurny, I do wonder what planet you’re living on. I don’t have any ‘problems’. You seem obsessed with the fact that I’ll happily talk about mental health. It’s people who won’t talk about mental health — or use it as a weapon, as you’ve done in the past — who have the problems.

Your comments are so way off that they’re ridiculous. Like most people I’ve had to cope with all sorts of stresses throughout my life and I know better than most the worry of whether the mortgage could be paid or not. Ask many people who have run businesses and they’ll tell you how tough it is. Far more businesses fail than succeed, but you conveniently forget about that. According to you people just make a lot of money, try to avoid taxes and exploit others. Well, Gurney, it doesn’t work like that in the real world, although you’ll always find exceptions; and, of course, it’s those bad ones who you’ll always claim are typical. You seriously don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.

Usual superciliousness.

“And, no one on here has ever said Labour would never do anything bad. Talk about gaslighting – a perfect example! Is this the dark art of PR at play?”

Indeed, Deerey, nobody on here has EVER said Labour would never do anything bad. You all just keep completely quiet about Labour’s faults.

As for ‘gaslighting’, you clearly have no idea what it actually means and your idea of PR just typifies your total ignorance of what it really involves. It’s actually very funny how you and others go along with stereotypical views as though they reflect reality, though I shouldn’t really be surprised.

Finally, if I had one pound for every comment on here about the evil, nasty Tory scum, etc, etc, etc I could probably retire on a very nice pension. You’re all up to your eyes in moral superiority, so much so that you can’t actually see it.

Usual superciliousness.

I haven’t asked you a question for months, I grew weary of waiting days and days for an answer, having asked the question several times, even though you’d post on the same thread after my question, FACT.

Very interesting responses, barring the predictable personal attacks from the usual suspects, which I’ll just ignore.

I must confess that I expected people to have a bit more sympathy from a purely human perspective given that gambling, like alcohol, can be addictive. If Swann was an addict, which seems likely though I don’t think he’s said as much, he certainly has my sympathy; and, no, it’s not something that’s ever happened to me, but we all know it can ruin people’s lives.

Either way, the point is that just saying none of the club’s money was involved does not absolve Swann of responsibility for the massive problems this has more than likely created, which seems to be what he’s trying to claim with his statement. On that basis I’d say there’s very high justification for him to let the club go for significantly less than the book value.

Whether Swann reads this board or not I find it hard to believe that nobody involved with the club does so. Do they pay any attention? Almost certainly not, but that doesn’t mean we can’t or shouldn’t express our views.

Aside from you not personally knowing ‘someone’ who has lost millions gambling, shock of the year, usual superciliousness.

Is that it? And there I was thinking you were going to tell me some earth-shattering fact. Well surprise, surprise, Deerey, I do understand how the unions work; and, no, I’m not at all against having them and couldn’t give a toss whether you believe me or not.

NI, where exactly did I say that the Tory Government doesn’t waste money? I didn’t, so please don’t suggest otherwise. It’s the state that’s particularly good at wasting money whether it’s being run by the Tories or Labour.

As for being naive or a complete idiot, IA, do you seriously believe the unions aren’t playing politics at the moment? If you don’t then you ARE either naive or a complete idiot. Hardly a personal attack given that anyone with any political nous would believe otherwise while there’s nothing inherently wrong in being naive.

Usual superciliousness. 🙂

Absolute rubbish, TW. The simple truth is that people are either truly ignorant of the facts, which is hardly anything to be ashamed of, or deliberately ignoring what’s happening for ideological or political reasons.

If net zero targets were sensible and energy prices lowered — and they’re definitely not going to get any lower while these absurd targets are kept in place — inflation could be brought under control, people wouldn’t be being plunged into poverty, far fewer people would die (yes, seriously), the country could prosper and the nurses could be given the pay rise we all want them to have.

But, again, hey, just ignore the facts and come out with daft comments about superciliousness.

You are supercilious, you just don’t have enough self-awareness to see it, and probably never will have.

Yet more totally pathetic responses and references to ‘disinformation’ reveal just how ignorant you lot really are. Even ‘The Guardian’ was reporting what was happening:

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/dec/11/uk-power-prices-hit-record-high-amid-cold-snap-and-lack-of-wind-power

So much for ‘disinformation’. The grim reality is that renewables will never be able to meet our energy needs no matter how much you lot might like to believe otherwise. I wish they could but they can’t and there’s no technology available now or even on the horizon that would provide the storage capacity needed to solve this problem.

But, hey, just ignore the facts.

Rodwell has washed up at Charlton Athletic as their new chief operations officer, as reported by the South London Press, oddly the picture they used of him in their story didn’t include a smile!
