Immigration and Social Security Co-ordination (EU Withdrawal) Bill: overarching documents - GOV.UK

Cheers, its awful - but they got democratically voted in fair and square this time, there's something very wrong with our democracy or country imo (or I'm reading too many forums, with people banging on about how we are in a recession the likes of which we wont recover from for decades and that herd immunity is a practical idea). 2008 FTSE was 4800 , GDP was 14% less than TODAY , FTSE is 23% higher TODAY than back then, and we paid 1.2TN out of the public kitty for that - it's hardly something we won't recover from for decades, and with Austerity, the top percentage are laughing all the way to their Mutuality's.

For me, this government is showing its true colours and people must be able to see that we haven't really the correct balance between public service expenditure and expenditure to protect and enhance the elite.

Patel rescinding the "free fees" for the year - and I'll never forget this brilliant headline earlier:

The Home Office says NHS doctors, nurses and paramedics with UK work visas due to expire before 1 October will have them automatically extended for a year so they can "focus on fighting coronavirus"

(not my words but) AKA. "fook off back to where you came from. After you've saved our lives"

I was never comfortable with the clapping for the hierocracy of it, but living in the NE , there's no conservatives around us, so it is heartfelt. I still do it weekly (and imagine its for me, the keyboard warrior , who is no where near a hospital!) For everyone who voted Conservative, its just salt in the wounds.

I've been working with the NHS since the outbreak and it's always divided opinions within the org too - many people are angry and also touched at the same time.

[DoctorStrangelove]

I Don't know, after all the NHS has done for you, and you want to give them the clap.

I'm disgusted!

Great deflecting ... pick up on a grammar error rather than answering the question

You can't read simple media that says the clapping is on Thursday and not Wednesday, so I'll not waste my time to go and find your post to the model (that you was so proud you'd found) that was being circulated everywhere a few weeks ago - this model was forecasting a near 100% infection rate and a 500,000 deaths in the UK.
