Re: Corruption

I personally see a lot of behaviour in *NHSEngland* that smells of corruption.

NHSE is a political organisation.

13.6 per million cases of thrombosis in vaccinated persons compared to 35.3 per million cases of thrombosis in persons infected with sars-cov-1 virus

Re: becoming a global science superpower

Wanting to become a global science superpower and then leaving the European Union is a bit like wanting to become a global military superpower and then abolishing the Navy and the Air Force. It's not the most helpful of steps"

But fully in keeping with having a bunch of untalented morons in charge of the country [whichever party, ditto]

Re: 7 Data Protection Principles

Maybe, just maybe, that 'hard-to-forget' is a design feature......after all, nothing I have seen makes me optimistic that big-tech really wants to comply with data protection - voluntarily.

Re: How would I go about having my confidential records removed from NHS computers?

You can't.

And 'they' don't care anyway.

Parliament is a breeding ground for cunts

Re: Power strategy first ...

You jest.

Just look at the planning behind the pandemic troughing

Re: Do as you are told, slaves

Blow up a few more oil/gas pipelines?

Well..

Like the time they switched location of crisps and cereal around......and sales of both increased.

Or when they put own-brand products on the bottom shelves and famous-name products on eye-level shelves, and famous-name products increase sales?

Big-name stores employ companies to plan those changes, not to make your life easier but to increase sales.

Or maybe you though big-names had higher prices because they are better, or maybe because they pay to have their products placed better?

Re: "ensure that non-EU suppliers cannot access the EU market on an equal footing"

I think they only changed their mind until a majority of UK-based finance departed into the EU....that migration outwards is ongoing..

Re: Not sure NHS really gets digital

Exactly. What you don't know, is that every patients existing paper record follows them around the country. Literally.

Re: True

No.

But a lot of it is brown

Given the medical brain-drain, mainly to other English-speaking countries, from the UK, we may have a lot more to worry about than Horizon!

A neurosurgeon on TV: "Why stay here, in a health service that is fragmenting fast, when I can increase my income by four by going to the USA". Although I think he also said something about his taxes being much higher because of his pension!

Re: Contextual advertising...

They keep routing personal hygiene products to me.

Is there an olfactory sensor on iMacs?

Re: A timely reminder

The governments income depends upon a citizens income.

The NHS funding comes from the people.

The ever-increasing-amount-of-GDP put into the NHS is also an income stream for many people and companies. Unless you give it to foreign companies, where that money stream goes to foreign shareholders.

And that's the "household-budget" economics-theory.

Don't get me onto MMT.

I *strongly* suspect that the main hatred of socialised medicine is that it fails to charge sick people several fortunes and spin that money into politicians pockets/foreign-bank-accounts.

Spending on health, as a % of GDP is slightly over 7%.

While the spending on health has risen in real terms, expressed as a % of GDP it has risen only very slightly, a few tenths of 1%.

We still have two coal-fuelled power stations...generating 670MW at this moment in time.

Re: A question about her name.

It's pronounced "sh**head"

Re: Hmm

Which would be against the Good Friday Agreement.

And lead to a whole lot of new pain. Or return us to the old pain which the GFA minimised
