DesperateDan posted:I was heavily drunk on an OU residential course (gently caress, I might as well just have said I was on a residential) and I found myself in the ungodly hours at an expat bar on mallorca, and I met a terrible person. Proud, that over 2 decades living in spain, she barely had a word of spanish, because in her words, she didn't need to. She lived in an enclave that was pretty much a daily mail fevered wet-dream of english people eating english foods from english shops talking only to english people, administered to by english people, somewhere on the coast of mainland spain- just part of a network of other enclaves. The reason she left the UK? Too. Many. Immigrants. Changing. Society. There is no shortage of those sorts in Spain. The worst type of insular knobs who click their fingers at waiting staff, insist on walls sausages and even resent other foreigners moving there. Also, you have little enclaves of Europeans, Dutch, German, Irish, et all, all pandering to their colonel blimps but never acknowledging each other.

Regarde Aduck posted:Americans still seem to have a generally decency about them. Like they're thick as poo poo and their police are basically some kind of tyrannical army but they probably would feel sorry if they saw a disabled person burst into flames in the middle of the street. They might even try and help them. In the UK we're at the point where a crowd would gather to throw petrol on them while shouting scrounger. Then they'd poo poo themselves, eat the poo poo, throw the poo poo at each other and then jump into the fire themselves. Something something immigrants austerity. Maybe in south east England.

Pistol_Pete posted:Don't underestimate how brazen he could possibly be! If he acts all worried and launches an "urgent inquiry" into doctor's morale, many people who haven't been following the dispute closely will overhear it on the news or see a headline and think: "well, their low morale obviously can't be that guy Jeremy Hunt's fault: look how concerned he is!" Just as worried as he was about James Murdoch's morale.

Jabby, tbh at this point, as hard as it will be for people in the NHS, at this point people dying in hospital corridors is the only thing the government will pay attention to. No, I wouldn't like it to be someone close to me, but they are not listening to sweet reason. What alternative do they have? Ordering in army medics? Regardless, you have my complete support and sympathy.

GaussianCopula posted:Wouldn't a 7 day week allow for a better usage of existing inventory, thereby reducing the cost or increasing the quality of care? Given that we live in a fairly secular world today, one might even argue that the fixed weekend is something that should abolished anyway (while keeping 5/2 word/free days), to allow economies to run more efficiently? It is already seven days a week. Also, taking the same pool of resources and making it compulsory isn't going to help efficacy of morale.

Rakosi posted:The Tories shouldn't, actually. Could you imagine how well a Tory backed investigation into that would be received in this thread? It wouldn't be considered to be worth bandwidth it was printed on. It has to be independent. Even if the Tories admitted there was a historical cover-up over this issue, at a governmental level, this thread would still insist they were only doing so to smokescreen an even bigger thing or whatever. The level of paranoia ITT against the Tories is A) demonstrable in people actually begrudging them for doing their jobs in beating on the NHS and BBC over child abuse and B) assuming that any political party ever is as competent at hiding things as many people here would like to think they are. It does have to be independent, yes. But you have a very low opinion of this thread. We don't oppose Tories for the same of it, most of us are siding with Cameron on remain (for less made up reasons).
