@James_Bolam@Toonfan_Wz@alclayts@c_0L_e Well I’m not sending an extra few quid for the sake of it, it only makes sense if it’s something that everyone is paying into. The point I’m making is it wouldn’t bother me to do so if the trade off was improvements in NHS care.
@Toonfan_Wz@alclayts@c_0L_e I’d personally be fine with paying more tax to ensure that the NHS was adequately funded. We’re taxed at a comparatively lower rate than our European neighbours who have higher performing/better funded health services, so that seems to make sense as a path forward.
@Toonfan_Wz@alclayts@c_0L_e It requires capital investment. It’s not my job to worry where it comes from - taxes or borrowing. The reality is the private sector picks up the slack and it costs us more in the long run - both citizens and the government.
@Toonfan_Wz@alclayts@c_0L_e He doesn’t have to completely privatise the NHS for him to have a negative effect on care. It’s widely accepted that the issues the NHS faces are due to underinvestment, the idea that we can spend less and somehow maintain or improve the standard of care is a joke.
@Alan7098@ratlpolicy In what way could Britain not defend the Falklands from Argentina? Argentina lacks the capability to invade - that’s the reality. They’re significantly weaker than they were the last time they tried, they still haven’t replaced the ships we sank last time.
@TegoSigel@Telford00001@JDS2882 Plenty of clubs also do that without being bankrolled by a Saudi like entity. Villa, Forest, Everton, Chelsea are all regularly close to exceeding their FFP allowances.
@WalkerF46310@ItsAndyRyan Kind of proves how thick you are to think that Stoke compares to these sort of places. Absolutely clueless. I’m also not from Stoke.
@WalkerF46310@ItsAndyRyan It’s full of absolute shitholes, you just wouldn’t go there would you? Did you spend much time in Homestead, Liberty City etc? I very much doubt it. Florida has many places which are far worse than anywhere that exists in the UK.
@yesbroccoli@daniel_gunna There never was a true Argentine population, you’re literally coping. Right wing military junta propaganda still has you imbeciles by the balls years later. The same government would have disappeared you.
@Merluchhh@istrianprincess@its_hipolita Why does that make any difference whatsoever? If a country is poor and weak that makes it morally fine to claim territory that has nothing to do with them?
@beefcubee@smgna@ScooterSCtoTN@BaldingsWorld Nobody gives a shit if you leave 😂 just gonna be a pain for the US when the dems get in again and have to try and fix the mess the paedophile has created.
