Theresa May Mark 2

There is talk of whole hospitals falling over especially in the next couple of years.

There are campaigns all over the country about STPs. If you can't go, you can help fund someone who can

Even in Cameron's constituency the NHS is in trouble.

Watching hospitals falling over could be quite an exciting spectacle, especially the incinerator chimneys. Will there be lots of huffing and puffing before they fall over? I've never seen a really good demolition, wolves and pigs notwithstanding.

It may not be as funny as you think, bags.
Once the hospitals close, they sell off the sites.

Trust you to take it seriously, dj. I was not, of course, laughing about hospital funding problems or any kind of NHS worries. I was joking about the expression "hospitals falling over".

It's allowed. As are attempts at light-heartedness during onslaughts of doom and gloom.

I'm also laughing, at the moment, at my success in lredicting your response

pre....

That's the picture that came into my head when I read ww's post too, thatbags. Didn't bother sharing it...

Easy to laugh when you live in Scotland and do not have the Tory onslaught on your NHS.

My local hospital is having its last ward closed, and it will probably not be too long before the whole hospital is closed. It's the one where Simon Stevens started his career and was pictured saying that he wouldn't close cottage hospitals.

Laugh away.

The footprints march against closures.

I don't lived in Scotland...

Oh FFS, dj, don't be so humorless! I'm just as concerned about the NHS in England and Wales as you are but I can still laugh at an odd phrase. I can understand your not understanding the joke initially (if I put my mind to it) but to persist in misunderstanding when what is being laughed about is presented to you on plate as having nothing to do with the NHS but with an oddly phrased remark is just bloodyminded miserableness.

Most of my family live in England.

I'm just as concerned about the NHS in England and Wales
If the NHS in Wales is in a mess it's because they have a Labour administration there in charge of it thatbags

Waiting lists are longer than those in England.

thatbags please please please can we have more of your humour on the politicle threads. We really do need it. I'm begging you, I'll even pay you

Gosh what fun

I see that the NHS is being told that there will be no more cash.

Oh!!!! There was I naively awaiting the extra cash promised from Brexit.

We haven't Brexited yet. Still got the same EU bills to pay.

Have you seen that Boris wrote an article for the remain side two days before he abandoned ship?
He obviously didn't believe in all that money for the NHS either. I wonder who promised it to him - Farage?

durhamjen I read somewhere that he spent a weekend holed up in Devon with his sister (Remain) and dad (Remain) whilst he dithered over what to do.
I thought perhaps he had written two 'essays' on pros and cons to help him think it through and came down on the side of Leave (presumably despite what his sister and Dad advised!).
Has he published the article, or has someone got hold of it?

Interesting!

So he was rather like many people who were 50/50, undecided, then finally decided one way or the other.

Well, it never was a clear cut thing. No complex idea ever is. Those to whom it seemed/seems a simple decision have oversimplified things in their minds. I find it quite impressive that someone called a clown and a buffoon can argue convincingly on both sides of a debate. Not many people can do that.

And, yes, of course I'm aware of those who don't think Boris can do anything convincingly except be a clown and a buffoon, so there's no need for yous to tell me again

Most grans on here are capable of looking at and arguing on both sides of the debate if they choose .Nothing special about that

Really? I haven't noticed it on political threads.

There's also quality of argument to consider. The quality of most political debates on GN is not high.
