UK Politics Thread (Part 5)

27. It has taken more than a decade for the NHS to fall into disrepair so improving it will take time
Waiting times can and must improve quickly. But it will take years rather than months to get the health service back to peak performance. I have no doubt that significant progress will be possible, but it is unlikely that waiting lists can be cleared and other performance standards restored in one Parliamentary term. Just as we in the NHS have turned around performance before, we can do so again.

In the words of the late, great Patrick Swayze, life sure does have a sick sense of humour…

Sat in Croydon University Hospital Urgent Treatment waiting for a tetanus shot coz some fly-tipping cunt chucked a wooden pallet in the woods behind my house. I was in there with my sons and the youngest was fucking around near it. I went to move him and stepped right on a rusty nail…went straight into my heel.

Will send further updates later on my undying support for the NHS…

I’d actually vote for Nigel Farage if he promised to punish fly-tippers by shooting them into the sun with a giant canon.

Not the Sat night I was hoping for…

Ask him if he has any gear on him that you could have,

Might help pass the time, plus you’ll be seen quicker!

Judging by the state of him, he’s had it all.

Maybe if council workers put in more hours at recycling centres people wouldn’t need to fly tip

This was definitely one of my neighbours.

My house backs onto the woods, which are encolsed by the block I live on. If you didn’t live here it would be more difficult to chuck it in the woods than drop it off at the tip.

Maybe if councils didn’t charge commercial firms to correctly dispose of waste, there would be no market for illegal fly tippers?

My van is banned from my local recycling centre.
The look on the cunts face when I take work waste/debris in my car, knowing he can do fuck all about it.

We spend a lot of time driving in the country lanes around Westerham, Biggin Hill, Oxted if you know the area…right on the Kent/Surrey border.

Fly-tipping is out of fucking control. Not really a thing in Australia…still blows my mind.

When I had work done on my house in Scotland, the chippy knocked £50 off the bill if I disposed of the waste myself. It was all old floorboards and offcuts: completely recyclable.

As it was, I got rid of it on Freecycle, because someone is always after firewood.

Radiators, old washer and dryer…

Left them out the front and they were gone within the hour.

It’s a pity we don’t have rag-and-bone men anymore. They would jump at stuff like that.

Washing machine drums make good fire pits and bbq’s

As an Australian, how did you not know this? I’m sure there was a Bush Tucker man episode on it.

Otherwise, yeah, it pisses me off from both sides. Those that think laybys are disposal sites and the councils for not providing a service.
