Things will change for the better but perhaps not Very quickly.people were unhappy with Blair they didn't feel he was doing enough. But things still improved loads.

wonder if there'll be many people on mobility scooters?

depends what the measure is? will he succeed in improving things? yes, things are so bad he can improve them. 🙂

i'm quite happy living it up on your taxes, suckers 😛 , but i'd be quite happy to have my health and mobility back and have to work. it is what it is, i'm not a skiver, i've been dealt a sh*t hand, (perhaps contributed to that myself, dunno?) hope hes going to be down on tory ex mp's too seems to be a lot of them about at the moment enough to be an identifiable group itself in the stats.

if people are happy without work why force them, many aren't capable of work and are not considered employable by any known employer. i don't feel that i could deliver the required quality in any work task i might be assigned, not because i don't care, but because certain brain functions have been damaged with my brain injury, i have them detailed in a medical report i have somewhere, i forget what they are one damaged brain function is memory., another is strategic thinking; another concentration; mostly these don't give me much trouble, i try to adapt.

because there's so many disused car parks there'll be a glut of new housing. 😛

just say neigh - ketamine health problems soar https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-68826392

It's 4/20 day (I've no idea how those numbers have come to symbolise cannabis?) tomorrow so there's a mass spark up in Bristol's castle park.(And elsewhere).cos I'm in Bristol I hope the old bill are cool and not arresting.

he's a tory he's not meant to want to nanny people.

hes trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist.

people like me, who will never work again. 🙂

my memory tells me that i'm pretty sure billy was slagging off frank at one point. - for ex-etonites, i prefer Arthur Blair to frank.

the current system isn't perfect but is probably around the best it can get for distributing tickets without being random - with advantages random can't do, like getting tickets for the people you want to go with.

i presume in that instance everyone has to wait while the thousands of people before them do their full transaction? still wouldn't satisfy everyone wanting glasto tix cos there's fewer tickets than people.

random allocation can be gamed too! - people will find ways to make it work for them.

its a terrible idea, you've made clear you really want to go to glasto, with random allocation you'll lose out to someone who's not too bothered about going. the system as it is now, rewards people who try hard (who are probably people who really want to go).

yeah, blame thatcher and her "retire at 55" scheme. people took her at her word it was always obvious that it would cause problems.

maybe a better upstanding of the demographic and social effects from an aging population would help.

the nhs won't employ people with long term conditions, so why would private employers??

with Israel hitting Iran ww3 has come out of the shadows.

its the way to f**k up the GP system even more than currently.

because every election has to deliver what just-you want, and the thoughts of the rest of the electorate don't matter a fig. better known as how labour let the tories win an 80 seat majority.

best thing labour can do to replace the tories is to say f**k you to the electorate. what would you be willing to give up to get that youth mobility deal?

have frank and billy Bragg kissed and made up yet?

it was found guilty of that in the court of public opinion in 2014.
