  Patients referred for surgery not making the waiting list
Posted by: Lilith7 - 25-11-2024, 02:39 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - No Replies

Our health system is getting progressively worse. What a shame successive govts haven't seen fixing it as a priority. 
But then, politicians can afford private health care, can't they & it affects many older people who mayn't be around long enough to vote this lot out... Dodgy

  The Poetics of Textiles

On youtube. It's an address by Tim McLaughlin accompanied by photos, video, images, and all kinds of stuff. And it is so good.

Worth book marking for one of those rainy afternoons when you need something that is both educational and beautiful.

Surely even their most loyal supporters will balk at this? Sad Dodgy Angry


This really is blatant poor bashing. How long before we're seeing shanty towns on the edges of cities? How long before the first person - likely a child,  dies of starvation?

They're making it more difficult for people to access  benefits; what do they think those people are going to do, if they become desperate enough?
