bridge too far

I started working for the NHS in 1991 and I can remember well how decimated it was then. Dingy, outdated hospitals, way too few clinical staff, waiting lists that were so long that many people had to wait years sometimes for fairly routine procedures. And before anyone says Hospital Acquired Infections, I remember that my father died from MRSA just weeks before the 97 election, so it was around even then. In almost 20 years of working for the NHS I've seen HUGE improvements, some of them driven by medical progress 'tis true, but I'm proud of my small involvement in the planning of two wonderful new hospitals that are clean, bright and efficient. And Mr TF's knee surgery last month - just 4 weeks from seeing his GP to having his operation. It would be so sad if all this progress were to be reversed.

I rather think that's why the Greens are also in favour of renewable energy.

Mockba is the english version of the cyrillic alphabet which would spell out 'Moskva'. So I guess that shows we don't pronounce it as the Russians do. We call our country England, the French call it 'L'Angleterre'. We call France -er - France, they call it La France. We call it 'The English Channel', they call it 'Le Manche' (literally 'the sleeve' because of its shape). The Spanish call it 'La Manga'. We don't OWN the Channel anymore than the French do. Does it matter what it's called in the scheme of things?

I'd rather stay there than come up for some of the polluted diatribes you and your ilk spout out of yours, to be frank.

You're entitled to think that, of course, but who made you say it?

Hmmm well we would be the minority group in a supreme state formed by France in Germany - thereby qualifying for special measures and benefits

No doubt the Conservatives are behind this in order to deflect from current issues that matter. Funny that it should take them 7 years to do so.
