Also blame McKinsey and lean manufacturing

I would blame Covid and the supply chain problems not Brexit

Or the post is on strike

It slowdown during Covid

The immigration slow down since Covid is the reason the NHS does not work

I think in this new world of Ukraine and Covid it is not so relevant

You can’t keep having elections every time you get a change of leadership, we are living on the past and we are approaching the sell by date

A single Neanderthal gene found in one in six Britons is likely to blame for up to a million Covid deaths, according to an Oxford academic. The LZTFL1 gene is a Neanderthal gene found on chromosome three and has been previously shown to double a person’s risk of severe disease and death. But before now there had never been an estimated figure for how many lives were lost to this single piece of genetic code. Roughly 15 per cent of Europeans have the Neanderthal form of the gene, compared to about 60 per cent of South Asians. His team believe that the Neanderthal gene changes how a cell behaves when the SARS-CoV-2 virus binds to the ACE2 receptor on a human cell. In most people, this leads to the cell then changing shape and becoming less specialised and less prone to infection, stymying the progression of the infection. “What this high risk variant does is it creates a new signal that tells that gene to stay on for slightly too long in response to infection,” Prof Davies said. “And so they stay in this state where they're highly specialised, and they're prone to infection for longer.” The number of deaths globally from this nefarious genetic variant “is in the hundreds of thousands to a million,” he told the audience. 'Dinner date' between human and Neanderthal Dr Davies and his colleague from Oxford Brookes University, Dr Simon Underdown, a biological anthropologist, also revealed that the Neanderthal gene first infiltrated humans 60,000 years ago after one romantic liaison and interspecies tryst between a human and a neanderthal. A solitary coupling event across species lines saw the deadly Covid gene jump from our now-extinct cousin species into us. “If this dinner date between the human and the Neanderthal had gone wrong, we would have had a much better time in Covid, we would have had hundreds of thousands less deaths,” said Prof Davies. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/06/09/neanderthal-gene-probably-caused-million-covid-deaths/

This is the state of the NHS right now. This is my (very nearly) 3 year old sleeping on the floor of Birmingham Children's Hospital at 3am this morning. 7 hours after being on hold to 111 for an hour. 6 hours after being told to go to hospital by a doctor 5 hours after being triaged where they said "she is having to try very hard to breath" and that they would see her as soon as possible because "we don't want her to deteriorate". At 4am, we made the difficult decision to give up and come home. It would have been up to another 4 or 5 hours waiting. (this is from Linkedin)

No one contributes to the level that they are getting paid out, all this nonsense about hard working taxpayers The housing ponzi when it collapses is going to break the UK, we will soon all remember the good old days

The King has rejected the idea of a cut-price coronation and wishes to use the event to showcase “UK plc”, The Telegraph understands. The event will be a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle of “glorious” pomp and pageantry after Buckingham Palace and government aides took heed of the enormous international coverage generated in the aftermath of Queen Elizabeth II’s death. One of the “key learnings” from Operation London Bridge and Spring Tide - the period of mourning between the late Queen’s death and her funeral, along with the new monarch’s tour of the UK - was that it proved to be a great advertisement for Britain. While it was always expected to be an event of great national significance, the global effect had not been fully considered. Lets be honest he did have to wait for a long time.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/12/21/nurse-loses-job-stealing-two-tablets-treat-headaches-nhs-shifts/?li_source=LI&li_medium=liftigniter-rhr A nurse lost her job after she was caught stealing two tablets from a hospital drugstore to treat headaches she suffered whilst working a NHS shift. Francesca Morgan, 32, illicitly took a co-codamol pill and then a paracetamol tablet after she felt unwell whilst working at Arrowe Park Hospital, near Liverpool. Police began investigating after health officials noticed prescription medication had been going missing. Managers put a tablet count in place at the end of each day without staff knowing. Police installed a secret camera as part of the investigation, which captured Morgan taking the pills, though prosecutors stressed she was not accused of the entire medication theft. It emerged she took the drugs without the required permission in writing on the "assumption" that she was allowed to take the medication, while other members of staff were also found to not have followed procedure when handling medication. Morgan, from Woolton, Liverpool, appeared at Wirral Magistrates’ Court, where she pleaded guilty to two offences of theft by employee between June 6 and June 18 of last year.
