Like the NHS? Or education for your kids? Social Services for the elderly or infirm? AA properly staffed police force? A resolution to the Housing Crisis? Those sort of ideologies?? NHS - That's been done to death on here. Chucking money at it is not the answer. It needs reform. Police - The Tories have already started a recruitment drive for another 20,000 Police Officers. The problem here, as with Nursing, is that soon a Degree is required. For the Police, one of their main recruiting places was the Military. It was common for men and women to leave the military (especially the Royal Military Police) and become Police Officers. This recruitment chain is broken. Social Services for the elderly or infirm - There is the exact same problem in Germany. Nobody seems to have the answer. Education - I haven't been involved with British schools for many years, so I don't feel I can comment on that. I don't know enough about how they work. Excellent, the crew are engaged. Let's take it one by one. NHS: Given that the UK commits less of its resources than most modern economies other than Australia, exactly what reforms do you and Eric recommend? |

Do you think theres something slightly absurd about claiming the recruitment of 20,000 police officers as a triumph when it was your own government that cut police numbers by 21,000 a few years ago? |

Yes, it does come across as odd. However, you Remainers are always telling us that there is nothing wrong with changing your mind  In fairness, it wasn't 'his government' though. |

Austerity causes untold damage, and then you try and claim you are investing in the police. It's not just strange, its incompetent. |

No. 3.
Cuts to local government which has caused mayhem in the delivery of social services.
That kind of ideology?

Nothing wrong at all with changing your mind. Selling it as a triumph though makes you a bit of a prick. He was the architect of the London police cuts as mayor of london and part of the government that introduced the cuts nationally. Shall we brush this one under the carpet? |

As usual, when you cannot answer. Who the feck are you to demand that I answer yet another of your inane questions? There is a thread on the NHS, where various people have made some interesting points. If you haven't got the wit to even read it, then there is nothing I can do. Maybe the posts on that thread are too long for you as you only appear to ever post a single line. Please, do not make any assumptions about me, because I can guarantee that you will be 100% wrong. |

You moan about austerity, and then moan when money is being spent to fix something. You are not just strange, but incompetent. |

Did I hear Trump has spoken with St Nigel on LBC? Something about Corbyn being very bad, Johnson being very good and the proposed WAB being a block on a US/UK trade deal.
Contrary to the convention of not to interfere in other country's GE.

There is nothing wrong with looking at a situation and realizing that what went on before wasn't working. I actually think if a politician was to stand up and openly say that they've made a mistake somewhere, and were going to reverse their original decision, the public would have more respect for them. |

Contrary to the convention of not to interfere in other country's GE. The media rules surrounding the GE don't kick in yet, which is why it was allowed. In the same way that Cameron was able to spend 9m quid sending leaflets to every house in the UK and that 9m was not set against the spending limits for any campaign. Let's not forget, that Magic Grandpa went on Venezuelan TV to promote their dear leader? Obama went on UK tv to promote the Remain campaign. It can work both ways? |

So how would you define the current economic position of the country, now the Tories have doubled the debt both in absolute terms and as a % of gdp. Go on. |

So how would you define the current economic position of the country, now the Tories have doubled the debt both in absolute terms and as a % of gdp. Go on. Government spending. It is not something you can turn off and on. Gordon Brown went on a spending splurge. For example, he increased the civil service by something like 800,000 people. This is a long term commitment. A government coming in just cannot sack those people, so they have to inherit the ongoing spending for those people. It's the same with infrastructure projects. Just look at the ongoing costs for PFI for example. The PFI contracts get more expensive every year. The current economic state of the UK is not too bad. Of course it could always be better. Employment is at it's highest rate ever. Once the UK escapes the drag of the EU it can only prosper even more. |
