@HeldinEU Addendum: sorry, yes, from a high Street pharmacy, you can ask and go elsewhere if no.

I'd imagine the industry has plenty of antizionist sympathetic pharmacists...

[Jono @TheConfusion]

@HeldinEU No, but you can pay a private prescriber for a private prescription and then pay privately fornthe medicines.

If you want to campaign for the NHS procurement process to avoid purchasing form companies from genocidal nations, crack on.

@mark15365 @harrym_vids If its anything ike my 1100cc bike, its because it spits out more CO2...

[Jono @TheConfusion]

@jwparkin @harrym_vids This.
I hate tax as much as anyone, but at least this is *fairer* and encourages frugal cars/driving.

[Jono @TheConfusion]

@Robbie_Reasons And attractive cheap trope, but the fact is the NHS has a relatively small cadre of managers for the size and complexity of the organisation.

Shoehorning nurses into management isn't the right skill mix.*

*to be fair, some are excellent.

@Jenny_1884 I'm a big believer in the freedom to make dumb decisions.

Like all drugs, statins may cause adverse effects in a few people, but on balance they have saved a lot of lives and dodged a lot of morbidity.

@leahsmithh7 If you die, its not hay-fever amd therefore not non-formulary for your use-case.

Query it with your GP, and/or their practice pharmacist.

@antmiddleton Pay your tax. Stop assaulting women.

@Parody_PM 30 peas.

@tomhfh You are conflating historical pension schemes with the ones staff are currently in.

[Jono @TheConfusion]

@its_all_atoms @pollypreston @GBNEWS That value is at point of retiring with income anticipated over 20+ years. Value drops as the individual ages.

[Jono @TheConfusion]

@AlanFoum @RDH1156 @marydejevsky The fund value and pension benefit map to each other by design - the fund value is determined by the benefit, not the contributions.

My point being that the contributions do not give the yield they should. The employee contrib still offers good value, but employer contrib lies.

[Jono @TheConfusion]

@AlanFoum @RDH1156 @marydejevsky 23.7%/12.5% typical employer/employee contrib.

The benefit we will get out will be *nowhere near* what this contribution should bring, even acknowledging guarantee and inflation link.

[Jono @TheConfusion]

@AlanFoum @RDH1156 @marydejevsky Generous in absolute terms? Or in terms of the benefit from the sum contributed?
Very different situations.

E.g., From an NHS perspective, the benefit is very poor c.f. the typical 36.2% contribution.

@Samanth43010302 He is 87 and had been waiting 9 hours for an ambulance?
Of course they want to put a fucking IV cannula in ASAP.

[Jono @TheConfusion]

@GSGB01 Pay your tax and stop assaulting women.

You are a populist, not a leader.

[Jono @TheConfusion]

@Axel0__ B, the ginge. Red ones go faster. Don't argue. Physics innit.

[Jono @TheConfusion]

@RobertJenrick Dude, if you want to give me the 23.7% employer and my 12.5% employee pension scheme contributions for me to invest in a SIPP, I'm all ears. Except you don't. You are a populist peddling dogwhistle simple answers to complex problems.

@overlook61 @grok is this guy full of shit?

@elonmusk This thread says something about the gulliblility of Musk fetishists.
