This government blaming the NHS or other utility for shortfalls is totally the governments fault. The government have not increased sizes or built new prisons, but settled for privatising them. Exactly the same for the NHS, water companies, even British Rail. British Rail was in the midst of modernisation when it was privatised. Lines were being electrified, locomotives and coaches were being upgraded. Britain had become the 2nd most modern in the world behind Japan (!), and 2nd most successful on timekeeping and profit in Europe behind only Germany. Strangely the Big 4 rail companies in the UK were nationalised in the first place exactly because they were putting profit over safety and service back in the days of steam. British Rail back then didn't want to modernise but had no choice as the 1960/70's came. Too many providers are behind the population. By that I mean we have a population of around 65million,yet hospitals that can only cater for 45million, prisons that can cater for the criminal percentage of 45million, not 65million. It is exactly the same for the water infrastructure, and we are still not adding additional infrastructure for new builds. I believe Bazalgette catered for a London population of 4million back in Victorian times (double the actual of the time) yet the population is now over 10million and can't cope. The London sewerage system being increased is a high profile to hide other failures. Sussex water pumping and piping sewage 2miles out to sea to hide it. If it is clean fresh water why is it not going back inland to be used for irrigation?

I will say what a pain the track and trace system is Loads of phone call everyday and they just don’t let you recover I have now removed the app from my phone and will not re install it

Yep most of the profits go off shore nowadays not back Into the service, It would be a shame for this to happen to the NHS aswell, please take the time to sign this as we do need to keep the NHS, and not let the tories ruin that too, https://www.yournhsneedsyou.com/

I returned from France in September after a family holiday , after i had been in the UK for 8 days i was told that i had to take a pcr test as i had been in close contact with someone on the plane and that a pcr test would be arriving the next day (9 days after the contact ) i didn't need to isolate as i was double jabbed , i would be showing symptoms by then and under the previous rules you only needed to isolate for 10 days after a covid contact , how ridiculous , i told them not to bother , The "Serco track n trace " has been a massive waste of tax payers money , there should be an enquiry into where the money went , judge led and evidence should be given under oath , no chance of that happening any time soon ! £37 billion was it ? that's more than £500 for every person in the UK , what what the cost of the Apple ap which the buffoon turned down as he wanted a "world beating track n trace system " , in his words !

Just had to put my dog down today and my god its heartbreaking. I nearly didn't go in with her because I was inconsolable but had to be there for her and im not afraid to say I've been crying like a baby all day. I feel your pain. Like you 14yrs old and had her since a pup. I feel empty as does the house.
