Couple of years ago I walked past someone's desk at work (a mid 50's lady, quiet as a church mouse) and she was reading the wikipedia page for Heinrich Himmler.

Risso Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I believe that Joe Strummer was friends with Johnson, and used to write to him at The Spectator quite a lot. I imagine that a few Clash fans will find that a bit upsetting. Not me mind, I thought they were shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted November 14, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 14, 2019 Bad reporting will not stop us flogging nice bits of the NHS off to our rich mates with excellent return potential. Just wait for the pivot towards the NHS being outdated, etc etc. All code for 'an anchor that needs shedding from our neck'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam-AVFC Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) It would be nice if, when they are inevitably questioned on this, the reporter could use all the recent quotes from Conservatives saying the NHS is better funded than it has ever been and, if this is the case, what it means that it is less efficient in its best funded period. The only way to show that isn’t the case would be to admit inflation adjusted funding has dropped massively while the proportion of money goings to privatised sectors goes up and up.

About 2 years, truth be told. All my (IMO) best jokes mostly go un-noticed, (except by the intellectuals like @peterms) so I lowered the bar.
