Steve2911 posted:It's one thing to convince people over the course of a century that medical poverty is actually good and moral. But I still refuse to believe people who've relied on the NHS would just lay down and let it be taken. My worry is that the riots will only start once it's already too late. They'd just do it gradually. Introduce a £15 fee to see the doctor. Make it not apply to current old people. Proclaim its to stop foreigners and scroungers abusing the NHS when they have no right too, or don't need too. Proclaim its reduce wait times. Its not about the money, they'll say, it's just to be make things more efficient. Then introduce slightly bigger fees for referrals, consultations, surgeries etc Then introduce small insurance to cover these. £10 a month and you won't pay, ever! Then watch it get bigger and bigger.

Communist Bear posted:Yeah help donate to lowtax if you love these forums. I love this forum - I only found it about a year ago (jewdas / beetroot google brought me here) and I read it without registering for about a month before I was suddenly unable to access it without an account and decided to sign up. Been doing the regular patreon thing since October when I found out about it. I'd hate for it to go. For one thing I miss the 'forum format'. The twitter and FB formats are just not conducive to threaded conversations. But the main thing is on the whole most of the posters manage to stay calm and reasonable and give relatively informed opinions and updates on what's going on.

Also it does help that you have to pay money to post here and you lose the right to post (or eventually your account and money) if you have a propensity to rant and rave about the (((Rothschilds))) sabotaging Brexit or whatever.

I assume this is in reference to accessing social housing. In which case they're not saying "you'll be fine on the streets". What they're saying is "you don't get ahead of others on the housing queue because of having a personality disorder". Being presently homeless will put you ahead of those who are just at risk but being homeless and having whatever unknown degree of mental ill health present in this individual does not put them ahead of someone who is only homeless. How could any council politely word it? That billions in cuts to central grants to county councils combined with numerous measures to bring social housing stock into the private sector has resulted in a housing stock that is so far diminished that they now cannot offer any protection to someone who they have known for some time is going to sleep rough.

I'm a Dundee fan and that's depressing enough so same I suppose. I do occasionally lurk in the Ross County thread to see what's going on. Half my family are from Lairg and my great uncle used to take me sometimes when I was a kid. Sadly he had a big team too, but nobodies perfect.

And I assume that my phone told me because I googled Ross County once, which means I need to know all the Dingwall related football news. Not complaining though, it's better than the notifications from the Express about how Tory MP EVISCERATES Remainers with "Mars is not in the EU" I get after searching for anything about Brexit.

You used to see an upsetting number of Old Firm (tbh, Rangers) kits in the Jail End back in the Second & Third Division days (I might have been one of them. I was 10 when we joined the league, didn't know any better). Definitely not the case so much now. I quite like being back in the Championship. It's novel winning more games than you lose after the catastrophe of last season..

See also literally every social media platform which has gone for venture capital to cover running costs rather than a subscription based model. They see a thriving community, and they assume that community is fungible, buy the site, and then try to change the community, then act surprised when the community just... dissipates, or becomes full of fash and bots.
