Mental illness is terminal, or can be?

Mental Illness is terminal

Yes the NHS is told to spend more money on mental illness. Its shocking how mentally ill people are abandoned and the consequences are dire for them and others.

Another example - mentally ill woman kills pensioner.

Claudia takes over Strictly

Well that's it then, I won't be watching.

The beginning of the end. Claudia Winkleman is to take over Strictly from Sir Bruce! WHat can I say?

Sublime to the ridiculous.

They've kept it  quiet though haven't they, no  fanfare. Why is this woman taking over?

What's wrong with John Barrowman?

I do think some people at the BBC want Strictly to die?

Antibiotics are our friends

So we're gradually getting neared doomsday with antibiotics.

Soon all the bacteria will be resistant.

Yep - better get used to it.

Antibiotics should now only be used as a last resort.

We can use Aseptic techniques to kill bacteria. They don't develop a resistance to disinfectants they just DIE.

So instead os expecting a cure for everything we need to practice good hygene.

Or we'll regret it.

Young denied jobs because the old won't give up.

So now they're complaining that the Young can't get new jobs but the older workers are hanging on to theirs.

Well can you blame them? Think about it

1. Pensions are down - annuities are down - so you need more income
2. Interest rates are down - so no income there
3. Cameron and co keep telling everyone they'll have to work longer before they get a pension
4. Back to 1, even if you live to retire then your pension will be small so you need to work longer

So all around, if you've got a job better stick to it because you need the money.

I've said before i the 2Cs could understand it, the old could retire gracefully and let the young have the jobs. The money they'll be pouring in to give the young a start could go to REtrining the old, and swapping the jobs with them.

1. Ensure pensions are maintained at a reasonable level
2. Ensure the older people maintain their savings rates at a reasonable level
3. Allow people to retire if they give their job to a young person
4. Older people need less to live on than when they're working.

What about it C&C?
