Don't think anyone has said that, though, have they?
Crass (unacceptably at times), of his time and cocooned from real life by immense privilege unquestionably. Not a description of someone I’d want to have a beer with.
Sorry this is a weird sense of humour kicking in more than anything else. I was having a chat about how they'd get over limits of attendee's to funeral but we'd forgotten the "working royal" loophole that produced.
Now that was a complicated situation that really didn’t look good. No-one can argue with the message. But in all the aftermath not one of them acknowledged that if they’d obeyed the law it wouldn’t have happened. What were the Police supposed to do, what message would doing nothing have sent to others?
On that matter it was actually quite simple, the MET were given ample opportunity to work with the oragnisers to hold a safe and peaceful demonstration (and were told they could be a court of law). Instead they chose not to, ruling it an illegal gathering instead. So yeah if I was an organiser I wouldn't admit that because what they did would of been within the law if the MET had chosen to work with them.
He would’ve been private wouldn’t he? It’s why they live so long. I imagine they have some of the best round clock private health care in the world.
disagree on private health insurance. Probably saved me having to have chemo when I got diagnosed with cancer 20 months ago. Got seen to and had surgery within a week. On NHS would have taken longer and possibly spread.
I'm fairly certain they use the NHS infrastructure at the very least, for instance I know all the kids details are held at Great Ormond Street and it is the first port of call if they are sick enough to into hospital.
Sorry to hear that mate. Glad you got the surgery you required obviously. I was speaking more in terms of my general utopia type vision in that ideally everyone would have available the best healthcare. Obviously don’t have any problem with people utilising the current system if that’s what best for them and I would be no different if I had the means. Just as I don’t have a problem with people sending their kids to private school it’s more that I find it sad that we have a tier system when it comes to education and health. My initial comment was a bit crass though and apologies of any offence caused.
No worries. No offence taken. NHS is truly wonderful. Would hate to have the American health care system. But private health does play a role and does plug in the gaps. Got my health insurance from work, and was lucky as I only got it the year before I got diagnosed. Basically when GP found the tumour, he immediately said do i have private insurance and thankfully I did and sent me to the consultant. Luckily caught it at stage 1 and got operated on very quickly, but that's it with cancer it really is about speed and time. Found out afterwards that had my op been under NHS it probably would have taken another month to get an operation.
I’ve been lucky enough to have had private healthcare throughout my career. For more minor stuff, speed and ‘customer experience’ it wins hands down, but my experience has always been that the NHS pulls out the stops when it comes to bigger stuff. Has many faults, but rightly the envy of many other countries.
If you ever get punched seemingly randomly by someone you don't recognise, know it was me.
Are you going to go round punching people at random hoping at least 1 will be someone who deserves it?
