@matigo Indeed. Trying to get a British politician to admit that, for example, paying billions for a missile system upgrade to keep our special relationship with yon tinpot short-fingered dictator is a bit daft when hospital emergency rooms are being downgraded here, it's futile.
Our Infirmary was on the local news a few evenings ago. The reporter mentioned the health Trust had opened an Urgent Care Centre to cope with seasonal demand. This conveniently ignores the fact that we used to have a full Accident and Emergency unit until it was shut by the beancounters to save money. What wasn't mentioned, the world-class heart unit, setup with and partially-funded by local people's fundraising, was shut with the emergency unit - citing lack of future demand.
In the UK finance issue I mentioned, it's a statement I actually believe. Not scaremongering this time as it's been painted by many, just simple economics. :(
Why yes, it does fit with my view of the world, so has to be true. ;)
