idiot drivers in floods

why do most drivers go  at inappropriate speeds through floods causing bow waves? in flooded streets these waves often overtop the sandbags sending water into peoples houses. how selfish ? it is testament to modern cars that they keep going. these drivers should be fined for driving carelessly. at worst they're stupid and don't know what's under the water.

privatised BBC?

have you noticed, yet again, the BBC news plays on Boxing Day to an "empty" room behind. of course the journalist s are home with their families. So why are all those computers and screens on? don`t they know how to shut them down? if it was a council there'd be outrage yet its our money they're wasting.

Are the lights going off?

I've said this before - the country does not have a coherent Energy policy. This helps confirm this.

Robbing the poor to pay the rich (to build windfarms) will not solve the problem.

A&E league tables

See how your local Hospital is performing regards to A&E admissions etc. I don't think the figures are particularly accurate. However, its worth looking to give you an idea of what to do in an emergency if you have a choice of hospitals near you. 

To me A&E is for EMERGENCIES amd minor injuries. Otherwise see your doctor.Now that would be fine if you could get to see your doctor and he was competent enough to deal with it. In my case my doctor can't even get a speck of grit out of your eye! Have to go to A&E and wait 3 hours!

About time Fatist joing the other 'ist hate crimes ?

Whilst you can argue about why people get fat, and whther they should or should not be fat surely it is offensive to call people "fat" and pick on them because of their size/shape etc.? To me its just as bad as the othe rhate crimes.
To me any form of Bullying is bad. Its not called for and is certainly not funny.

Why does the media seem to get away with it.

Jennifer Lawrence is gorgeous any way.

claudia embarass

claudia embarass again. is she pregnant ?
Bbc flagship show and she's so excruciating . please Bbc get someone like John Barrowman.
why was Suzanne through  and Natalie in the dance off? maybe folk didn't vote for Natalie 'cos they thought she was through . should have been Suzanne in dance off. maybe Patrick would be through .

Winkleman borrows granmothers dress

Did you think Cuadia had borrowed her grandmother's red dress last week?

Awful. I can't bear to watch her - she's so excrutiating.

Please put JOHN BARROWMAN on instead. He's FUN

Dementia - living death!

So, the Government pledges to DOUBLE spending on Dementia by 2025. Big Deal!

Yes increased spending can only be good but doubling peanuts in 10 years is still peanuts. 

WE have a crisis in Pensions, people a re living longer but what quality of life? What if you live to 80 but the last 5 years you were in a care home, bed bound and dribbling?

Surely money spent on curing dementia will actually save the country millions and let these people lead active  fulfilling lives INDEPENDENTLY?

Makes seems to me.

Suffering the Winkleman again

so we have to suffer Claudia Winkleman instead of loveley Brucie.

WHY?

She has no Charisma. How dare the BBC inflict  this on us. Their flagship programme and a dirge like Winkleman is top billing.

WHY?

Anyone would be better, even John Sargeant would be a better presenter. At least he tried to dance. What has Winkleman done?

Bring on John Barrowman. He's so good.

If you want John ON and Winkleman out go to my Facebook page.

Write to the BBC and tell them.

If you like Winkleman tell ME!

Morecambe and Wise

Watched the 2part programme on M&W. Although entertaining there wasn't much startlingly new.  It is sobering when watching now to realise that when Eric Morecambe died he was younger than me!

Winter Deaths are lower in Sweden despite they have much longer, colder winters

This Government needs proper energy Policy or we're doomed.
How come Sweden can tackle it?
Skimping on Nuclear is not the answer unless you want to risk another Chernobyl?
Too frightening to contemplate but Maybe west Cumbria is expendable?

Hunger is Back

I agree that in the 7th richest nation we should not have poverty and hunger but I look at Jack's petition and wonder why the biggest epidemic we are facing is Obesity!

Why are people so FAT? Walk down any street and you see FAT people. You see ads on TV for slimming and endless programmes about FOOD. No wonder we're Fat.

Why do they advertise Alcohol so glamorously - it makes you cool, you drive fast cars (drive and drink?) live the fast life with pretty girls and flash friends all drinking, (responsibly of course). How dare they advertise Alcohol so? Its should be banned. 

Anyway back to poverty - why are we giving millions to other countries that can afford to send satellites into space when we have poor here and we are ,cutting benefits because the "country can't afford them?". Another of sCameron's conspiracies?

Yes - nearly 3000 Millionaire Bankers on their bloated bonuses!

HA! they don't live in the real world, a bit of poverty would do them good. After all WE rescued the Banks and its our money. Another case of this reverse Robin Hood Government - robbing the poor to give to the rich.

Claudia looks like escapee from martial arts class

Suffering Claudia again. Looked like a poor version on Cannon and Ball. Claudia needs a tache tp help. Then they'd be real comedy double act. No  way can she stand in for Brucie next week its an insult.   We need some real talent not a joke. Bring in John Barrowman.
