Perhaps. Cannot find any trace of the inventor of the Sharpie, but no doubt there will be WOKE in there somewhere

i left X long time back. i was justifying - i can block the worst elements, there are good people i want to follow

then i realised

"As we say in Germany, if there's a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis."

i am not german, but still

strangely Mr Gervais appears to choose homes in London, Marlow and NYC and not the vital and bustling metro area of Reading from whence he spawned

only a matter of time before biros are replaced by fountain pens

the headline will be because of WOKE

but we will all really know why

i dunno

even longlife food has a shelf life; and no amount of AR15s can take on an already militarised police force

that aside, not seen many of the "don't tread" types manning the barricades against the current over reach, as i expect most of them got jobs overreaching

the big question has to be

has this scandal derailed Cheryl Hines hopes to be in Space Chimps 3?

no doubt they will reference "the good old days" as they continue to remove hard won post 1945 rights

you can tell why education was made more difficult to access and more expensive if you could - its not a failure of critical thinking, its a design

its strange

why are there so many?..

insert marginalised group you want to stamp on this week

its almost like tolerance, technology and progress means that people who need wheelchairs are no longer hidden in the attic with Trans, Gay, Ethic minorities, etc

soon "why do women have bank accounts?"

the big question has to be why?

the tories are a car crash of "clown car hits banana lorry" proportions

no one likes labour

is it really they have had enough? or is this just a tap on the nose to remind him who really is in charge?

But a bit +1 for the flags

Not to be rude, and I am not claiming any deep knowledge

Some GPs I have met have been great

And others are the biggest, most entitled, know all arseholes you could care to avoid

this is what will happen with the NHS in the UK

private companies will be allowed to carve out the low risk elements as chargable, leaving the NHS to deal with the expensive, complicated work with less resources

Truss and her ex-BF wrecked our economy with their mini budget; she resigned in disgrace with a bumper PM pension

and has spent her time never having the decency nor self knowledge to f'off

she is not special in that regard; Kwarteng seems a fixture on TV sofas, Priti Patel, so on and so forth

Prufumo was found to have lied to the HoC and resigned in disgrace. though it was a tawdry affair, there was no proof of any breach on national security around the scandal

he dedicated the rest of his life to charity

many factors to blame, but the DOH is responsible

the buck stops with Streeting - he seems only worried about his profile as "PM in waiting" and making sure the NHS is ready for mor backdoor privatisation

the NHS is not easy to fix, but it would not be as hard as we are lead to believe

between the 2 points of admission and discharge there are a multitude of variables; any of which fails means the patient pathway slows or stops

this is in no way putting blame on the NHS. budgets are slashed, resources frozen, recruitment is constrained

if someone is ready to leave, there are a multitude of reasons that person cannot. transport, the right meds, a doctor to sign off, someone at home to meet the patient

so they stay longer

even when they leave, the area needs cleaning and prepped for the next patient

lack of access to GP services; walk in clinics and similar being closed/ limited

people don't know where else to go, so go to A&E

however, its the other end of the process - discharge.

you are Finbarr Saunders and i claim my £5

compare / contrast

but - your employer can now send out a great thing on the socials saying how inclusive your company is

then delete it when the usual suspects accuse them of being Woke

never fear - there is always the "de-left" grift to jump on, where you cry on daytime TV saying the bad lefthanded people denied you the opportunity to use your right hand

and the whole shebang balances on the mid 70s acceptance of Friedmanism

an economic philosophy based on nothing

Friedman's theory had all the intellectual rigour of Richard Pryor's Kryptonite recipe in Superman 3

like Rand before - it was only there to appeal to the types of people who'd benefit

i have done similar. you mute your laptop speakers and let the video/ audio run in the back ground

at the end some multiple guess questions, normally with "D: All of the above" option

then 80% pass

those types of trainings could not be more a tickbox if it was a web portal with a big box to tick

i am not a huge fan of capitalism; but in essence it and socialism have the same outcomes. wealth is shared, just different methodology to get to that point

we don't have capitalism. we have a crony neo-liberalism that funnels wealth up, and the vaunted "trickledown" has never happened

an economy based on consumerism needs consumers - the rich and mega companies sit on and offshore their wealth

as it is, the banks all paid out their bonuses and that money vanished offshore rather than being spent locally on goods, services & trades

agreed. we need to put more potential in the hands of those most likely to take the opportunity

same as during the banking crisis. we should not have bailed out the banks. i am in the UK; the govt here should have given everyone check for a few £000 and let them do what they would

i am sure when he runs out of illnesses he'll do an enquiry on left handedness

seems to be the same right across the spectrum - media, politics, culture

its not enough to win, they also have to be loved and respected, without any effort to earn either

i think we have a winning

looks like "abundance" might not have been the popular idea it was vaunted as earlier this year
