You are very mistaken as you will soon find out.

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.

not sure it doesn't exist...the number off people of work due to illness has gone up more here since the pandemic than others in G7...and that is a problem for those people, and for the economy. Not sure there is an easy answer too, all individual cases, all complicated. We are a sick nation at the moment.
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.

I truly believe this man will be a good PM.
because there's so many disused car parks there'll be a glut of new housing. 😛

I am sure Beryl down the job centre will know if you are sick or not..............................
The announcement from Sunak is just more pointing the finger of blame at people whose fault it isn't to panda to those who think everyone else but them is to blame for how sh*t things are.hes trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist.

They never fell out - Billy was one of a few who actually spoke in defense of him after the Guardian piece: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/sep/08/frank-turner-political-post-ideological-culture
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.

To an extent. It also rewards big groups trying together too. I dunno how you change that though.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.

Definitely not. Most years I go on a French site for a major sports event, randomly allocated queue. Longest I’ve been in the queue was around 6 hours. Ridiculous.
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.

Look what the site says "places in queue allocated randomly"
How about that for Glasto ticket sale??
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).

Retired people under state pension age who can afford to retire
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 sorting out NHS so people didn't have to wait months/years would help.
maybe a better upstanding of the demographic and social effects from an aging population would help.

Bypass GPs..get someone else to determine whether someone is actually sick or just needs to pull themselves together.
the nhs won't employ people with long term conditions, so why would private employers??

Looks like this will be part of Tory manifesto and election campaign, get back to work you bloody skivers.
its the way to f**k up the GP system even more than currently.

Another poor sign that Labour will be much different from what we have now.
I despair.
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?

Gosh, I will admit I'll be a wee bit disappointed if Scottish Indie is found guilty of fraud in court.
it was found guilty of that in the court of public opinion in 2014.

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.
