The Internet is the Way Forward

Should the government stop the investment in the NHS?

If yes, what should be done with this money?

 

[.z.]

The Government needs to be sure that the money is getting to the NHS and is being directed at where it is most needed. It needs to be used properly and to most effect (not like what is happening at the moment).

Major NHS reform is going to be needed if it is to function well again.

Bring back the welfare state!

I think we should use it to build a giant inflatable island in the middle if the Atlantic and start a new Britain on it. Or sort out the NHS. That might be better.

Who needs a mobile phone/media player and other things when it could be right with you at all times in a tiny piece of memory? We have the technology, its just time.

I don't see the NHS improving, they are puting a LOT of money into it, but as many football clubs have shown, throwing a lot of money at something dosnt make it work. My mums a nurse and im sorry if this insults the nursing profession, but the people she works with DONT WORK, they are lazy shits. Ofc this isnt true for the whole country, but at least her ward (and a few others shes worked on in the past) they are very lazy. I blame this on how they are trained, and also the amount of paper work they need to do. People don't go into work efusiasticly (sorry about spelling there) if there having to do endless pieces of paperwork.

You don't seem to take into account the economic issues with these things you propose, sadly we don't live in a world where you can just say 'lets do it' and it gets done.

It will take a long period of time to see changes in the NHS.

I'm sorry to say but it really does sound like everything you have said has just been copy/pasted from a newspaper columist.

"Don't chuck money at every situation, sort out the chains of paper work that go with it"

Broadband is the way forward. So your thinking is make sure everyone has super phat lines into there computers but then we can all be killed off by the common cold.

[Teh Krypt]

Well, only for the people that only read half of a post, the rest will be fine.

You will notice I also mention war and other things.

 

[Deadmanwalking]

So we should either die by common cold or get invaded?

 

[Teh Krypt]

Or get robed/house burn down by overheating cables.

 

[Deadmanwalking]

Cables that allow us to download at 2 squillion kb/s?

Dear god no. Mb/s

....we aren't already? :/

 

[Cdr]

I hope not. Else I'm moving.

And as teh krypt for president, the Labour Government got in, so it wouldnt surprise me if people actually did vote for him :/

You all talk about Krypt being a child, most of you are children compared to ol' me

Can i just say the idea of spending money gained through taxes on broadband or any other internet options is absolutely ludicrous(sp). The government already has project to suply basic computing and IT to certain groups of ppl in the UK for free i believe, for example rural communities, this i agree with.
However as i live in a town where there is currently no hospital with A&E facilites or paediatric facilites, i would rather see money spent on that. As it stands right now, if my daughter was ever in a serious accident (perish the thought) she would have to make at least a 30minute journey to the nearest paediatric unit.
I just honestly can't believe someone, with Britain in it's current state, would seriously say they wanted taxes spent on IT
BTW that was not me having a go at krypt or anyone else, just my opinions.

 

[Clowneh!]

I like the way people have to say "No this wasn't having a go at Krypt" these days. Is it so he doesn't close the thread?

 

[bigfoot]

No, it is because certain people seem to be going out of their way to try and wind him up, probably because he is quite young.

 

[Clowneh!]

Can't be younger than Sharma

 

[icemaiden]

No i just think it sucks how ppl seem to rip him to shreads every time he posts something. TBH i've never noticed him being a gimp in any way, however i tend to not pay too much attention to these forums at times. My comment was just to let him know i wasn't being nasty at him, i was just making my point.

Thanks for that. Seems we will have to wait a few years, maybe then these silly prices will drop for broadband and we can all surf at high speed / little cost

thank god it's gone

I don't get concorde, but I live near one of the busiest RAF bases in the UK and my house is directly in the flightpath. During the Iraq war it was used a lot. I didn't notice it at all, nor did it bother me. You get used to it.

Or because he talks rubbish and having an argument/discussion with him on anything is akin to trying to communicate with a brick wall using sign language.

Oooh? Which base?

 

[mank!]

Brize Norton.

I think it's one of the busiest, it was certainly on the news a lot during Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

[Cdr]

Is that where the B29's were stationed during the war?

 

[mank!]

If they're the really big Yankee planes, yeah. They didn't fit in the hangers, you could see from miles a huge tale sticking out of a building like some idiot had parked it whilst going to get a pint of milk from the local Spar.

 

[Cdr]

hehe yup thems the ones. Big buggers. They'd take off really late at night so they could arrive in Iraq the following morning / early afternoon. Impressive planes.
