NHS

Looking at my emails this morning there is one warning me that the NHS is about to implode, the idea being put forward is to centralise services, so if you have a heart problem you will not go to your local hospital but to a specialist hospital in your area, you might be lucky if this hospital happens to be in your city, but if not you will have no choice but to travel, these specialist hospitals will cut back income for your local hospital, if there is no income they will have to close, is this what we expect of our health service?, the problem is that many of these decisions are being taken by younger people who do not have the slightest idea as to just how difficult travelling to distant hospitals is for elderly patients, and they do not it seems to take this into account. you can only wring so much savings out of the NHS and now it is at the point where all savings have been made without cutting services but if the government carries on that will be the next step, I have just spent some time in hospital and it was very noticeable the shortage of nurses on the wards, and with a shift of 12 and 1/2 hours it is not surprising that mistakes can and do happen, don't let the government not the opposition tell you that they care they don't, they are just cutting the budget to the bare minimum, you should be aware of this before you vote in the general election next year.

News

 Several things hit me today, it seems that papers alleging that there was a group of paedophiles in Parliament during the 70's, the home secretary at the time was sent the papers that the allegations were contained, the home secretary passed these papers on to his department officials to assess the allegations, nothing was ever done and of course the papers have vanished, that is a real surprise, so where do we go from here?, knowing civil servants and because lack of evidence, the people named in these allegations have got away with it, the sick thing for me is that these people if guilty have been able to carry on abuse of children all because of the incompetence of home office officials, the government should hold an inquiry into who actually assessed the papers and just what did he do with them after his decision, were they destroyed and if so why!!!, these questions have to be answered.

 

NHS

Now it has come from the horses mouth, the NHS just can't be sustained at the present cost, treatments are costing a fortune money that the NHS does not have, I keep hearing that it will be free at point of contact but I doubt that that can carry on, hospital trusts all over the country are recruiting nurses as there are not enough coming through in this country, most trained nurses come through university's why they need a degree is beyond me but that's where we are at now, I would have thought that we need more staff to care for patients not qualified people some of whom think that helping a patient is not in their job description, so do we need more of these qualified people, may be yes but we need more staff who actually look after patients rather than doing the paperwork at the nurses station, I hear of cases of people ringing for help but ignored for long periods of time, this behaviour has to be stopped, I know that there are so many caring nurses in the profession but some are not quite as caring, as a young person what do you do?, just hope that if you should fall ill will you be cared for how you think or are expecting to be?, reality says that a young person should with out a doubt get medical insurance you are at least then assured that you will get the treatment that you need, the NHS is beginning to run on dry it is a real shame that such a great positive institution should be in such a mess but that is what happens when you let government ride all over it, you can be pretty sure that the majority of MP's have health cover they do not rely on the NHS, they should be ashamed that they are systematically destroying the service. 

Tennis / Football

Tennis, I am at the moment suffering from sport overload, I am lost as to what day it is and what the date is, but I have seen some of the tennis, well it is amazing the "grunters" that abound this game, why is it that some of the players just can't serve or even hit the ball without grunting, does it make the ball go faster?, maybe I am not too sure.

Football, now we have the biting incident, there is no defence against it, there should be no appeal, but if one is allowed may I suggest that they increase the ban to six months minimum!!, there is no place in the game for some one who bites an opponent, the reaction of the player who was bitten was incredible!!, I have never seen such a performance in my life pulling his shirt off his shoulder saying "look what he has done to me oh dear!" I think that some of these footballers were trained at acting school before they are allowed to play, the main one is to roll over so many times it is like a death roll, they are so hurt that a two week stay in hospital is needed, but Oh they have recovered, I did notice the sly look that the player had to see if he had obtained a free kick and hopefully managed to get the perpetrator at least a yellow card, then the most disgusting act of all SPITTING, they do it time and time again, there is no need for it, FIFA should stop it happening, I notice very young children doing it in the street so where do they get it from could it be football? could very well be. 

Europe

So our PM lost, I really took offence at a idiot telling me the I needed to wake up to the benefits that Europe gives me, I am sorry Europe gives me nothing except an invasion of eastern Europeans that have taken the country over, our schools cant manage, our GP's are sinking under the strain, our hospitals are overflowing, so why should I wake up to that I already know about it, all the countries who dictate to us about immigration are countries where no one wants to go to, so very easy to make obscure comments about the benefit it is to us, I think that I have really had enough of being told by the European Parliament and the Human Rights judges just how England should be run, we are never likely to accept what Europe says are we?, after all we were at war with many countries over the centuries, the one sickening thing for me is that to express an opinion in the way I have done hear is to open myself up to allegations of racism, a thing that disgusts me no end, I believe that if anyone wishes to come to the UK and work fine, if they respect our laws and customs OK, respect us as a people fine but if they can't accept this they should not be in this country at all, all people who emigrate from the UK have to show the ability to support themselves and their families so they are not a burden on the adopted country, but not here, we have an open door policy allowed by the last labour government, the door is open and no one has the nerve to shut it because the human rights people would jump up and down like there is no tomorrow, if I should be around when we are allegedly allowed to vote on our membership of the EU I will without doubt vote we leave!!!. 

Sport England

Played three lost two drawn one, what a poor record for England, all the hype, all the watch these youngsters perform, but not a hope so tonight we have a totally different team, except for the three subs that were used, I am sick of seeing our players having to bow their heads and say sorry, well I think that the buck stops at the manager not the players, we have a second rate coach who's main claim to fame is that he once played for Manchester United, during warm up games chopping and changing the team just feeds depression, you build a team and keep it playing together, not eleven subs continually changing so none of them know if they are coming or going, the mistake was not taking on the logical choice of manager when they bottled out because of cost of his release from his contract with Spurs, he was the better choice and would have seen the team in a far better position than they are now, I just hope the management team give it up and go but I think that is pie in the sky, only two years to go to our next disappointment the Euro's,.

Sport

I have been smashed with sport for over a week, football the game of cheats, so many throwing themselves all over the place, making out they are hurt but then the sly look to see if the ref has given the foul then make a miraculous recovery, the ref surrounded by his team doing their level best to get the ref to show a card, this not the game of football that I thought I knew but I am wrong, and where does the word "simulation" come from why is it they just can't call it cheating? because that is what it is, tennis started today, just two men whacking a ball at each other as hard as they can with a loud grunt to start with, cricket I saw the test match this afternoon, a player knew that he had hit the ball and the result was a catch, out not a chance, the umpire got it wrong the player knew that there were no reviews left so he stopped where he was and carried on, blatant cheating, we are the daft ones at cricket because our players walk when they know that they hit a ball that was caught.

Why and where did these reviews come from??, we have officials to make decisions regarding what
ever game is being played OK so now and again they get it  wrong but that is just a part of the game, when you watch Rugby the ref will not award a try unless it is so obvious that there is no doubt but any thing else they immediately go to a video judge who then makes the decision for the ref and is not quick and wastes time, I would welcome returning to playing the games under the rules and the eye of the ref so stop using technology and get on with the game in the way it is supposed to be played.
