Not stealing our tax money and giving it to their friends/contacts, and instead spending it on infrastructure like water provision and effective sewage processing, railways/transport generally, green energy particularly cheap onshore wind, and public services (all with a long-term view) is what...

I cannot wait. I really really really hope the next government is not a disappointment.

Yes, very sad. It's an interesting table though.

Presumably regular exercise isn't very easy for women (and probably men) in Afghanistan.

Exactly. It's a list showing who lives in the countries with the most progressive governments and fair, equal societies, and who lives in countries at war or with dictators who put their people in constant fear of their lives.

Not the original but might be the best version.

Deleted - missed it being posted above.

Great thread. My favourites might not fall into the category of typical reggae (maybe dub or ska or something else?) but I think they can go into this thread. A bit late now but it's been bugging me - a better version of this here for those who've never heard it:

Yes my understanding is the same. When I was a junior doctor starting my hospital jobs we were shown a presentation highlighting the difference between the airline industry and the NHS in how mistakes are dealt with. Airlines have an open, honest, largely blame-free (where this is reasonable)...

Agreed we need a system like that here, and agreed no chance of getting it for the foreseeable future. But there's more to it: NHS resolution is "an arm’s length body of the Department of Health and Social Care" which deals with 1. claims management (basically patients suing NHS), 2...

Both play a high-risk style, but England appear to have a lazy arrogance about them at the moment. They seem to think they just need to turn up, play attacking cricket and they'll win. RDZ has an obsessive, very hard-working ethic which means he'll put every available minute into preparing the...

Really to have a functioning, publicly funded health system this is how it has to be in my opinion. Good luck trying to tell the British public that, who would be having none of it. No politician would ever try it and I don't blame them - it would be political suicide. I do blame politicians for...

Thanks for the update, hopefully we can sort it out. On a less serious note, this news won't be poplar with the fans here.

I'm sorry about your dad. Hope he makes a swift recovery.

Sussex Solar did mine. Didn't get any other quotes so nothing to compare them to, but it's working well, good customer service and generally very helpful. There was one problem with the battery after installation (which turned out to a problem with the battery manufacturer/provider as far as I...

Who decides what a person's medical need is? The person themselves or the health professional? At the moment in this country in a lot of cases it's the person (in my experience, I don't have data to prove it). So in these cases, really the NHS isn't trying to provide what a person needs, but...

Forget about England and that ashes stuff. Sussex 103-3 off 12.3 overs.
