O/T:- Should he stay or should he go? WARNING - POLITICAL THREAD!!!!

[Elite_Pie]

I was in a queue today outside Wilko's and got talking to a bloke in front of me. He said he was a porter at City Hospital.
His wife has cancer and her treatment has been deferred, despite her being very ill.
He goes in there every day. He was almost in tears at how "busy" it was.

Don't know why he was almost in tears, Wilko is usually busy.

Unless of course I've misunderstood, and you are being critical of the way the government are running the NHS.

I read it that the hospital was so busy that his wife could not get her required treatment. The fact that they had the conversation at Wilko is just incidental but happened to be where they were when they chatted.

There will have been and still will be people who need treatment who either through their own fear, or lack of medical resources are missing out.

I was being facetious, I didn't really think he was almost in tears because Wilko was busy!

It's just not like dam617 to criticise the government, he saves all his criticism for the left.

If you're trying to be funny you've failed miserably.
I'm rapidly losing support for the clowns 'running' the country.
Johnson taking the advice of 'five times wrong' Ferguson started it off - 400000 deaths' garbage.
Patel silencing the grooming report, letting Starmer off the hook and the apathy towards hundreds sailing the Channel whilst we have to queue for half an hour to get in Wilko's to wander around empty shelves.

Having said that they are, incredibly head and shoulders above Labour.
We're living in Clown World.
