Tell that to the people on NHS waiting lists and dieing in hospitals. We can afford to contribute elsewhere and fund the nhs adequately. It’s not one or the other. The current government just choose not to. Aid isn’t always necessary or spent correctly (especially amongst NGOs, don’t get me started on NGOs) but more often than not is used as a political bargaining chip in order to gain or maintain influence with other countries, including as part of trade deals. So - yes you can have an overly simplistic view of ‘it’s our money bruv let’s spend it on schools and nurses innit’ but that’s not the reality.

What a daft comment. I can't speak for "others" as I don't know who you are referring to but I have never seen any of DanH's posts that could be construed as self serving and I say that as someone diametrically opposed to him politically. If you wish to condemn someone for "the dross that falls from their mouths" it's better to try and do it without falling into the trap yourself Haha. I’m enjoying ME 2.0

Apologies as I was under the impression that the Government that was giving this money to the less fortunate was actually a Conservative Government

We may disagree on some stuff, but you always present your arguments with reason at the centre. That has value. I'd say that where stereotypical left and right meet that there is always going to be friction and I'm fine with that. Political forums also have an element of steam about them and I personally don't think we should be too high minded over that. I say let's have room for both....I obviously have enjoyed both modes down the years. Edited by Stirlingsays (12 Apr 2020 12.27am) Yeah fair enough In this instance I wanted a little more back than just a deflection to ‘but what about them, they’re worse’

Quite easily if it turns out to be true and not just a statistical anomaly after all sickle cell anaemia affects mainly black people. Much more research is needed though as it could just as easily be attributed to other non biological factors I see what you’re saying but I doubt this seeing as the virus attaches itself to anybody before it does its dirty work. If it was having an effect on large numbers of young ethnic people then I’d think there might be something in this. I expect the disproportionate amount of cases are down to living in densely populated areas and inter generational Asian families in the same house. Neither of these I’d blame on any government. People away from built up areas can plan and stay away from people for a week or two or for months if you’re lucky.

Ohh your from the magic tree brigade, getting rude is always a sign of loosing an Argument. Our political influences are doing so well, we have never borrowed so much. Bruv lol.
