Have you seen the range of food available today? You can buy Wagu beef to reconstituted 'animal' trimmings which is pretty close to dog food. If you don't like a particular offering, here's a novel idea, don't buy it. There are 100s of foods available from main supermarkets which are very bad for you.

The facts are that Chlorinated(washed) chicken is harmless because to get even close to a harmful amount (raw and we don't eat raw chicken) you have to consume 4000g daily. The real issue is that chlorine is used to counter poorer animal welfare standards. My source: The Adam Smith Instute which is ever so slightly more credible that Momentum loons smileSo wrong about food. There is no evidence drug prices would rise.

You are simply spouting the Labour doctrine. All based on faith.

Just a quick question. Is that the same Adam Smith institute that would like to privatise the NHS?

Read the article and it means 'privatisation' in the sense of
Article said:
keep the current tax based financing system but open up provision of services to anyone who wishes to do so. Charities, for profit companies, doctors' and workers' cooperatives (Circle being a combination of those last two), the State itself:
Which is roughly what happens to most European countries.

Ad-hom, based on an irrational fear of privatisation... which is hilarious, because Blair did more to move the NHS to private ownership than Cameron, May and Boris ever have.

I must admit I never knew that the postal votes were counted beforehand. Assumed they were chucked into a box in the relevant ward and counted with all the "on the day" votes


Whilst she may have committed an offence by mentioning it, she's only saying what people are telling her. And it's not "proof" so I don't see it as a big thing really.
They're not counted beforehand - it even says that in the linked article.

You'd think she'd have learned to think before commenting, especially after the Hancock 'assault' incident.
She is by far the poorest and most biased political editor the BBC have ever appointed.

Revealing information that can influence voting is just not on and is ‘a big thing’ which is why she and the BBC have been warned.

How are we going to get these wonderful trade deals when Boris has insulted all the countries and leaders we need to get them from?

Oh that's right, he has already offered them higher medicine prices and lower food standards to sweeten the deal!

I’m far more concerned about the Tories’ intentions for the NHS than treating chicken meat...
I'm far more concerned over Labours' intentions for the safety of this country than the NHS or treating chicken meat.

But you are such fun to chase Chevy.

It’s always amusing when resident loons in their various returning guises accuse others of being odd for having the temerity to recall their peculiar posting styles.

Well if you think vonuber following you around will keep you safe, he may do as you ask.



Alternatively, I'm sure there's a fridge or Wetherspoons you can hide in.

Where are you going to go when the chlorinated chicken makes you ill?

This would actually be hilarious if it wasn't so sad. Gutter press has convinced people that we would actually be in physical danger if Corbyn got in, despite the Tories having cut 20,000 police officers and decimated the legal system to the point where terrorists get mistakenly let out early and start murdering people.

You are aware that the most recent incident was as a result of a man who was released under the scheme that labour introduced, aren't you?

Look, it's a bit late now. You could have joined this debate months ago. Who knows, you could have made a real difference with your incisive questioning and in depth knowledge of these topics..

What intentions?
Well Zirconia understood the context enough to respond, but let me try and explain. An underfunded NHS that’s in financial free-fall, and Johnson says the Tories are going to build 40 new hospitals by 2030 (which he refuses to provide a cost for or say where the money’s coming from, but could be up to £24bn according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies). All he’s done is identify six NHS trusts that would between them receive about £2.7bn to rebuild existing hospitals by 2025 and provide some £100m to 21 other trusts in England to work up detailed plans for similar projects. There’s no evidence to show that the magic money tree will finance these projects, the Tories will spend in other areas (as per their manifesto) and continue to run down the NHS so it’ll be ripe for privatisation.

Who's going to buy the NHS? What will they be buying? Is it the Americans?

You do know that Labour has done far more to 'privatise' the NHS that the Tories/Lib Dems don't you?
Teasing aside, why MUST the NHS be run by Government? (of any colour rosette)
Surely what you want is a healthcare system that is genuinely excellent, achieves world leading results, is funded by the exchequer and completely free of charge at the point of use?
If I showed you categorical proof that (say) McDonald's could deliver these outcomes within the current funding envelope, would you still be resistant to 'privatisation'?

You mean the scheme that the Tories were so concerned about that they haven't changed it in 9 years?
Or the one for which clear reforms are included in their manifesto?

That's before starting on the cuts to all of the probation and support services that may have picked up on this guy

But apart from that, it's clearly all Labour's fault rolleyes

Terrorists are "mistakenly" let out by the Tories.

Are you really that deluded?

That's the one. Were you complaining when Labour brought the scheme in? No, and neither was I. As a nation we are learning hard lessons. DO I think Labour set out to achieve what happened on London Bridge? No of course not. It's not their fault, nor is it the Tories fault.
What happened on the bridge (and beforehand) is entirely the fault of the man wielding the knives.

Couldn't do worse than Corbyn's lot. Who will just throw money at it to be consumed by more and more inefficient processes, middle management and crap procurement.

Throwing more money at it will not fix the problems in the NHS. But the changes it needs are not palatable because everyone has been indoctrinated with "NHS good, any attempt to change or reform it is evil".

From what i've read there is universal agreement that more beds and staff are required. Our local services are excellent which makes it easy to think it's like this everywhere. Clearly it isn't.
