With question marks still hanging over voting intention polling there’s been a lot more focus on leader ratings which seemed to have performed far better as voting indicators at GE2015.

Perhaps the NHS haters on here can explain why if the NHS is so bloated, inefficient, filled with useless managers, etc that we do so amazingly well on a pittance and achieve similar or better outcomes to countries which spend far more.

So long as they are consistent and ban all such material then fair enough. If it was just this while others were being allowed it would be a much bigger deal.
Heart of stone
Also didn't that recent report (commonwealth?) say the NHS was pretty dire at patient outcomes?
Still 5th mind you
I wasn't going to mention this, but I think your post warrants it.
Mother in law in hospital.
Conflicting stories about what is wrong from staff which is bad enough, but...... today wife and her sister visited hospital and the two nurses on duty that they spoke to had a poor understanding of English.
There were also problems yesterday and my sister in law had to insist nurses check something (nurses said everything was ok and that a certain thing had happened) - Check revealed that no, this was not the case.
The NHS is not a religion and it certainly is not best in class.
BTW - this pittance that you get by on, put a number to it.
Liverpool scored four past the league leaders despite not starting the match with any strikers.
Also social care (social workers, modifications to housing to get people home, hole helps, meals on wheels etc) are also local council and have been for some time. That is also coming under strain and as a result the number of patients who are medically fit for discharge but cannot be discharged because of social issues has risen 20% in the last yer and is at the highest level ever. And we already have far, far fewer hospital beds to start with than many other European countries.
Spain and Italy do do better than us for life expectancy. Both have far more doctors per capita than us.
Can Corbyn do the same ?
Something to do with Chelsea's superior ground game.
Laughable...according to Hall back in the good old days of 20 years ago the BBC independence was unquestionable, now politics has got involved.
Thank god for Netflix and Amazon prime
You also get to choose your doctor, your surgeon and your hospital.
United Healthcare, the country's largest health insurer, has said it may withdraw from Obamacare after it lost $400 million on it this year. So it may end up being a tad less bloated. Obamacare has been a disaster for the US healthcare system.
DoH funding was (you mistyped "is") but as it has gone up less (you mistyped "is continuing to go up") in the last 5 years than for decades and is falling as a percentage of GDP.
Falling as a percentage of GDP? That's a wonderful way of saying that the economy is booming. Thanks for the vote of confidence in George Osborne, I'm sure he'll appreciate it!
When I lived in Australia in the nineties they tried a policy of encouraging tax breaks for private medical care as it was cheaper for the state to do that than to pay for the whole treatment. Meaning the state resources could be better managed on those who needed it. Yet here if someone is able to fund private care actually doing some is viewed as a form of apostasy not a good deed.
Advice and education is cheaper but budgets are being cut, and the Tories leap up and down screaming "nanny state" at any meaningful health initiatives re tax on unhealthy food, or unhealthy lifestyle choices.
Blaming all Muslims for terrorism is like blaming all musicians for Justin Bieber.

On a serious note it's quite amazing how Belgium has gone - in 9 days - from being a faceless host of the EU to a pariah state breeding muslim terrorists for ISIS, with an incompetent looking police and security force. Probably an unfair charge but that's how it looks.
Good night all.
Yes, I went Godwin on this. But people cannot divorce the reality of is from some some abstract sympathy with various grievances or vague statements, and we should not allow people to pretend that either.
Lawyer - Abdeslam "really upset" during ride from Paris.
Something must be going on.

CNN has a piece on Davide Martello, the pianist who cycles round Paris with a grand piano behind his bicycle. He pedals up, then plays John Lennon's Imagine and everybody cries. Quite amazing.
To any sane person, that should spell the end of Schengen.
But watching Dateline London this morning, (why is Polly Toynbee or some other Grauniad reporter always on it?), three correspondents were discussing the Schengen problem rationally, but the French reporter (usually lucid, fact based and rational) was levitating with anger, almost as if someone were inserting half a raw onion in his rectum, and saying that Schengen's abolition was unthinkable. When asked why, all he could come up with is that "It's part of the European ideal."
That's not even an argument, just an almost blind religious commitment and fervor to the EU 'ideal'. I'd like to stuff an entire raw onion up his rectum. Maybe a couple.
It's nonsense like this that makes me dislike the EU.

How does showing your passport at the border diminish Europe?
"The only way to defeat Isis is for Sunni Arabs themselves to reject them ideologically and defeat them militarily,” Rubio said. “They must be defeated on the ground with a ground force that is made up primarily of Arab Sunni fighters from Iraq, from Syria, but also from Jordan, from Egypt, from the Emirates, from Saudi Arabia.”
Is Rubio's plan a sectarian regional war with the US on one side and Russia on the other?
