Last night I checked into the emergency department at my local hospital*. I saw firsthand what has happened to the NHS. However much you read, it doesn't prepare you for the terrible reality. This thread tells a now-ordinary but - in this rich nation - almost unbelievable story.
Anyone remember Owbridges cough medicine? As a 50s child I also had

Were you a child before the invention of Calpol? What did you have instead? When I was ill as a kid in the 1970s, I would sleep in my parents' bed and would be cured by a Chelsea bun and Lucozade.
Yes I will. Have just returned from Portugal where everyone wears a mask indoors and many wear them in the street. Am ashamed to be British, and to be stuck here on

The WHO has advised British people to ignore the politicians and continue to wear masks in indoor areas.

Feeling so angry, desperate and powerless to change anything about government incompetence, arrogance, corruption and blatant power grabbing has affected my physical as well as my mental health.
Why do I have to share a country with such an evil, hypocritical excuse for a man? The people who have continued to vote for him make me nearly as sick as the vile creature himself… yes, I am proud to detest

Have you sent in your letter to the 1922 Committee? I warn you, if you have not, you will not be representing

Many people on here saying ‘I never voted Tory so it is not my fault’. I’ve never voted Tory either. But indeed, we are all part of the same country/society/system. Could I/we have done more in the past?

So,

we can see from

@SAHart_watch
But look who votes for them! Our electorate is dominated by those blindly still in thrall to the unthinking deference of the class system where the Tories are the natural party of government. What can be done to open their eyes?
We have a government that doesn’t use public transport, they access private healthcare and their children are in private education. They claim expenses for everything from heating to furnishing and paying for a second home. They might as well live on a different planet to us

Those of us who backed Rishi Sunak lost the contest but this poll suggests that the victor is losing our voters with policies we warned against. For the good of our country, and the livelihoods of everyone in our country, I still hope to be proven wrong

You post this, yet say you have no idea what it is, where it is, or, presumably, when it was. What are we supposed to do about it? Why post such gratuitously unpleasant material? What is your point?

Hi Carol. Have just phoned Johnson’s office on the number you gave. Got straight through, spoke (politely) to a young man and registered my complaint. He said he would pass the message on. This is worth doing!

No
@SallyAnn1066
, you don't know what you voted for. There was ABSOLUTELY ZERO mention of banning sewage overnight, it was "progressive reductions" that you rejected.
Another Conservative MP peddling the party lie and her own constituents know it.
Johnson’s declared earnings since standing down are £5.5m but he is expecting taxpayers foot bill to defend him in Partygate inquiry.
Bill has grown to £245,000 but FOI shows Treasury did not sign off the decision to use public money for it.
I can’t tell you how furious I am, to be stripped of my European citizenship, without my consent, to pander to the whims of ignorant xenophobes.... Our days of walking this way are numbered.

#Hastings
‘bubble’ but, thank goodness, not in your cosy Tory ‘bubble’, I can assure you,
@SallyAnn1066
that you are wrong. Many people here are poor and angry, many are just plain angry. You do not represent us.
In 2019, we saw a massive majority of MPs elected for Boris Johnson’s Conservatives reflecting a realignment of politics based on 2016’s EU referendum. The PM upholds that realignment, reflecting the values of people around the country who do not live in the ‘Westminster Bubble’.
The new trend of “I’ll willingly pay more for energy to help Ukraine” is the worst type of privileged posting. You’re not a better person because you’re rich - and people on low incomes frantic they can’t afford to heat their homes doesn’t mean they don’t care about war.
Sugar has been wonderful today. She's been allowed off the lead in the garden and was brilliant. She had her (horribly overgrown) nails trimmed and was really brave. She can now walk properly and isn't slipping on our floors. She's as sweet as her name suggests.

Being pro-trans shouldn’t mean being anti-woman. Both should be able to live alongside each other. Problem is that some pro-trans activists are violently opposed to the reality of biological sex difference, and use this to attack and denigrate biological women.
