The system is set up so that the only people encouraged into entering politics are either those who see it as an easy way to carry on their privileged upbringing (the right) and those who would struggle to hold down a job in the real world (the left). Those in the middle do it because they know they will have an easy job and never have to make a difficult decision because they will never be in a position to do so. Those who have the ability to run the country properly are not interested in politics and understandably so. Trying to change it for the better is nigh on impossible when you see the list of clowns lining up to become local MPs. It isn't set up like that. It has evolved to be like that and when anything fails to change to suit its environment then it will be replaced. How and when are other questions, but the change is inevitable. It could easily get worse before it gets better.

There's a kind of solace that individuals like WE ensure that enough backs are put up that Brexit support will always remain sufficient. Untrue. That there will always be some boneheaded diehards is clearly true but when the original decision was such a close run race it doesn't take a big shift to tip the scales. I suspect that shift is already well established.

So their ultimate get out clause is to say “Don’t blame me that I’m not up to it. You shouldn’t have voted for me”. We have the ultimate get out clause, don't we? They are serving a 5 year probation. Maybe we should have a recall system, with a high bar to ensure it's not abused, so if an MP demonstrates such inefficiency that their electorate demand they face a revote, then they must.

A change is needed, will it happen, probably not for a while, certainly not in my lifetime, which if this covid sniffle doesn’t get much better will be sooner rather than later!

That’s the thing though. Five years is too long. A Pub darts team team will drop players if someone better is available.

I have made nothing up I suggest you write to The British Heart Foundation with your complaint And by the way Prediabetes is not a clinical term recognised by the World Health Organisation. But it’s used regularly in the media to describe people who are at high risk of type 2 diabetes and by some healthcare professionals or organisations. Diabetes UK will not refer to people as having prediabetes but instead will talk about their risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Incorrect you know nothing of human physiology. So because these big establishments who are funded by iffy parties and the highest bidder not science based state something it makes it true. Pre diabetes is not a media term you dont even know the history of that term so clueless it was created by media professionals but rejected. Diabetes UK the same people who suggest diets which are based of the same old NHS BS which encourages to eat lots of fruit/veg also wholegrains. You really have no clue at all.

Covid has been demonstrated to cause health problems well beyond the lungs and it's naive to imagine that either can't happen or that it's 'always' something else to blame. The real question, rather than your antagonistic 'fronting' above, is whether these problems resolve themselves over time. As with everything, time will reveal more. Certainly existing health issues can often factor in but things aren't all or nothing. It can clearly do a number on peoples health (sometimes due to prior health issues, other times being genetically unlucky, amongst various reasons). The virus behaves how it behaves, and that's something we'll get more and more understanding of over time. It's unlikely that it will neatly adhere to a simplistic template that's handy for slagging someone off on the Internet. That's not how things tend to work "doctor". Just to add, clearly for most covid won't cause them significant problems.

A lot of the health impact of covid likely has a 'chicken or egg' aspect to it where other health issues may be a factor, which is then worsened by covid. Others may have had no pre-existing health issues. Even if those under 65 who are hospitalised with serious covid, they're disproportionately likely to die within the next 'year' of all causes even where they apparently 'recover' from covid. That suggests to me that if you wind up in that position, it's often systemically done a number on you healthwise.

You are always good for a laugh aren’t you. As well as Diabetes UK, the British Heart Foundation and the WHO which other organisations insist on consistently lying to us? And which aren’t? Again, I made nothing up. I quoted.
