I have posted endless figures before.
We aren't at or close to 99.8% capacity.
Check available school places.
Here's the NHS bed capacity analysis: https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/wp-content/u...
It's around 90% give or take.
So feel free to continue to make up numbers to support your viewpoint... but it just makes you look ignorant.
Don't you listen to the news or read the newspapers?We aren't at or close to 99.8% capacity.

Who looks ignorant now?
The Independent said:
More than a dozen hospitals have reported that 100 per cent of their beds are in use, with one hospital in Essex remaining without a single free bed in any general or intensive care ward for 27 days in December.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/hosp...Given how important most NHS tasks are we should probably focus on the peaks not the average?
As I work for an Irish company, I do read the Irish papers to keep up to speed - even if it's nothing else but to make conversation when I visit.
Imagine my surprise when I read about the hospital crisis they're having, which sounds remarkably similar to the British one.
http://www.irishtimes.com/news/health/trolley-cris...
If you scale it up from their 4.6 million population to our 64.1 million would be equivalent to more than 8000 people on trolleys every day, and based on the numbers I can find suggest something less than 2000 patients on trolleys per day here in the UK.
In Ireland, they're suggesting that it's down to simple mismanagement and a bad year for flu, and the minister for health is going to kick people in "the ass".
Interesting.

Apparently Theresa May will be announcing plans for our departure from the single market in a speech tomorrow.

The challenge for those running the NHS is how often those peaks are hit.Given how important most NHS tasks are we should probably focus on the peaks not the average?
Hospitals are not cheap pieces of infrastructure. If you focus on the peaks and then they are stood empty for much of the time, or running well below capacity, the amount of money being wasted would be staggering. Which would cause equal and opposite issues (not least of which being the budget deficit making Gordon Brown look like a spenthrift).

That'll be the hysteria at work. Once we escape, the true value of the pound versus euro will become clear. (i.e. I'm hoping for at least £1 to E2.)
Wtf?You want to increase the structural deficit and make it cheaper to import from the Eurozone whilst destroying our export market? Or you just worried about a round of drinks in Malia?
Being able to devalue £ without resulting to rate intervention has been the best thing of Brexit thus far, the rest of cake and eat it is coming (hopefully).
Or are you advocating a bull run on acquisitions where UK plc go and buy up European firms (many being zombies in a struggling market?) at a knock down cost (think of latest FTSE performance in reverse).
