Love the ‘Inaction’man, how do you need to have an enquiry?, maybe he’s good with numbers but ministerial code is too difficult.
See he’s lost £200+ million on the wife’s shares in IT.
Maybe a whip round is reqired.

Gwyn, could you be a little more specific about the time.
I do have a record of all posts but there are over 120,000 so it would be a task to find it.
Maybe the person who posted it will see this?

Thank you for this. It seems that there is a tory plan to undermine the NHS as it was reported on the news today that more people were going to private doctors/consultants etc. because of the difficulty of getting treatment without waiting months or even years in some cases.
The reply that I remember was from February/March and included a photograph (with a cigarette dangling from his lower lip) of one of Thatcher’s ministers’ typed message of how to slowly get rid of the NHS to his colleagues.

I’ll have a look through the comments in March and April, Gwyn… Maybe I’ll find it, although there will be many hundreds of them, so it may escape me.
I imagine that the Tories never wanted the health service and would love to have a privatised service that would make them loads of profit and provide directorships once they have moved n the the aristocrats’ chamber.
But the NHS is very popular (although, as you say, many people are dissatisfied with it these days because of the delays and waiting times) and it would be a dangerous gamble to get rid of it overnight.
However, if ever there was a government to do that, it’s this one. It will be little by little, step by step.
Dentistry is already gone in England and many of the functions are now taken over by Virgin and other private concerns.
I doubt Scotland would want that, but it may be forced upon us.

Nothing, except you tried to get a private course so that you avoided a speeding conviction and the public knowing about it.
Also that you tried to get civil servants to arrange that for you.
You probably broke the ministerial code, but you’ll probably get away with it because… well, just because.

When do we learn?
In 1930, President Hoover thought that giving tax breaks to the rich would trickle down to the poor.
That didn’t work then, why now.

I’m pretty sure that everyone knows that trickle-down doesn’t work, because human nature.
It’s just that it’s a handy way of telling the , Mail and Telegraph readers and the people who look at the pictures in the S*n and the Express, that the Tories are working for them but encouraging trickle down.
