Nothing to do with the foresight of the Labour government at the time. Did the money come with a 'you must set up the welfare state and a free at point of service Nhs' caveat?

Also, I may be mistaken, but hasn't the NHS been paid for (in the main) by NI contributions?

Absolutely no doubt that black musicians were overlooked, plagiarized or exploited in the past. Plenty of white musicians have been exploited as well it has to be said. That was beside my point.

My statement was really about the shift in musical trends created by the influence of immigrants.

Well in many ways it was, because following the revolution everyone was poor and f**ked. Even the leaders of the revolution were economically f**ked and dependent on donations from abroad. Of course they soon replaced wealth with party status.

Of course the soviet also improved education, health care and prospects for people who never benefitted under the Tsar - The tyranny of the massive purges and murders however doesn't justify that, but nor does it write off the fact that the soviet achieved some changes that were more or less positive social changes.

But certainly it doesn't absolve the crimes of the state against the people, which arguably far exceeded those of the Tsar. But of course had the Tsar reacted to the excesses of the Aristocracy, and the desires of the population, the revolution would never have happened either.

Nations that don't 'respond to the problems within the population' pay a price. Brexit and Trump clearly highlight that. When people feel powerless and no one and are ostracised, they tend to bring down changes - The failure of the UK to deal with the economic crunch and the exploitation of cheap migrant labour lead to Brexit.

That's certainly true about white musicians being exploited. The problem really is exploitation, rather than race. Do away with the idea of exploiting people, and instead offer them fair compensation, but that's 'commie' thinking...

Nothing to do with trying to win the post war election then?

Of course the NHS has been funded by taxation but loans from America after the war made it possible.

And rightly so, because the incident is unprovoked, and the likelihood of rehabilitation much harder. If you get in a fight with someone over an argument its very different than someone who attacks someone because they hate black or white people. The provision of the rehabilition of offenders act is also to protect society from criminals, as well as rehabilitate them

Delusion is not a defence in law, if the attack shows premeditation and the individual knew what they were doing, and reasonably responsible for their actions. People who are delusional, such as a schizophrenic, don't get lighter sentences - if they are proven mentally ill, they tend to get indefinite sections until such time as their disease is under control. That could be a year or so, or it could be the rest of their life.

There are people in Broadmoor who have been there for decades, despite committing crimes that would likely have seen them spending only 3.5 to 7 years in prison - because their disorders do not respond well enough to treatment to warrant their release.

Oddly successive governments keep trying to make it harder for secure units to retain these people, who really shouldn't be allowed out in to society, by trying to force psych units spaces down, and limit them to disorders that 'respond well to treatment'.

But in no way is being in a psychiatric unit 'a soft time'.
