You have an amazing capacity for writing lots of things that address nothing anyone has written.

No amount of whataboutery mitigates the poibt they've run it into the ground ffs

I think it makes you look silly.

There are bed shortages even before this. Waiting lists up. Doctors, nurses, surgeons and GP's all saying the same thing. They did get rid of bursaries and nursing levels from band 5 upwards have continually fallen.

Why do you think there was that march ffs

It's just the ramblings of a right wing loon imo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was replying to your daily NHS rant Robbing.

I noticed you haven't answered anything I posted regarding hospital bed decline in other countries,GP's having fewer people to deal with than 20 years ago,same goes for nurses and dental/medical staff.

BTW you were the one who brought up the NHS figures as usual,but clearly you don't like it when people put your hissy fit rantings into context.

Continue to deflect like always Robbing you've had plenty of practice I'll give you that

Indeed, it’s not an acceptable response. That said, I don’t think Trump’s reaction is either. Unfortunately, giving this is the situation, it’s something that would have made more sense to address after the crisis is averted and in a diplomatic manner. That seems to be beyond him, however, and all it seems to achieve is to exasperate, and polarise, the situation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes he is defiantly deflecting criticism. Guys a moron in my personal opinion. Must be said though WHOs comments regarding testing on Africa, and death threats from Taiwanese was also deflection from their own neglect in my view.
They are all at it. I'm willing to bet the Ethiopian in charge will get replaced after the crisis.

There is and always has been a deep lying hatred of America in the UK which I feel raises its head whenever there’s an opportunity to kick the US when it’s down- whereas because China is so far away and doesn’t seem like a threat they don’t get anywhere near as much fair criticism their way.

I dont trust the Yanks and I dont trust communists, that includes China and Russia. They are literally all the same level crooks. Except Yugoslavia under Tito maybe.

I wasnt going to reply but it's just too good!

Right, so the Governmemt admitted themselves that the NHS needed a cash injection

That was in 2019. It's also a fact that they're bringing bursaries back!

I mean I could go on about waiting lists increasing and bed shortages but then you even manage to accuse me of defelecting when in the same post you've rewritten your own deflections

I dunno how you people manage to dress yourself but you're good value bud.

Bearing in mind the alarm was raised in December this article shows WHO didn't support countries shutting their borders.
The fact they were worried, at the end of January, that this would mean countries wouldn't be transparent with their data makes for a cringe read. I'm in now way suggesting they intended to make the situation worse but it seems obvious to me that they made some really bad calls.
At best they were victims of what they were trying to avoid. A cover up and false information. I'm no politician but surely one of their main roles has to be to validate any alarms raised ASAP, with data and sources they can stand by, under scrutiny.

I've already said the NHS has been underfunded for years under many governments or did you not read that.

I applaud any government that puts more money into the NHS and bringing bursaries back can only be a good thing.

Now what about these other countries cutting beds then,still not answered that one.

What about fewer patients for GP'S,nurses and dental/medical staff now than from anytime 1949 till 2017.

I'm not expecting an answer from the likes of you,but you never know a miracle might occur and you might actually not deflect again.

And this replacement will undoubtedly have a greater China-friendly bias now that Trump (and his geopolitical buddies eventually) has pulled the plug and allowed the Chinese more financial influence.

Makes no sense.

In November we had record A&E waiting times whilst having less beds than Albania per capita. As an ex A@E nurse it was my experience that waiting times vastly increased when you did not have a bed to move them to. You'd also get blocked beds due to SN shortages.

Over the past ten years you can see that the beds per capita have decreased steadily whilst waiting times and bed shortages have increased.

So I don't really give a fvck about Germany because they have 3 beds to our 1.

The reason I dont answer your questions is because your reputation proceeds you. I mean you talk about context then mention Germany cutting beds when they have three times as many per capita

I think you must actually be a wum tbh.

posted on 15/4/20

Your saying do some research but I struggle to see why it's relevant really regarding them accepting information that concerns the safety of the nations they are designed to help protect. I know their situation but it in no way means WHO had any merit in ignoring what they said.
-----
They didn't ignore anything. I've already explained they have to follow the rules and act within their powers.

Yep you did what I expected you to do and didn't bother to answer the questions.

Keep up the daily rants Robbing as I always look forward to them.

Remember to leave the context out and remember to call all non socialists cvnts as you always do.

That slider was brilliant it showed every country reducing their bed capacities,very educational I'll now look to find the French ja606 and find a Le Robbing to chew the fat over with.

Another good point.

As Britain and the USA withdraw to look after themselves, they are vacating space which China is gleefully taking up.

We all know what China is about. Allowing them to take over like this makes me think of how Hitler was allowed to rise.

Nations think they will be safe but when the sheet hits the fan the whole world suffers equally regardless. Whether its a pandemic or a financial crisis. Better to stay in the international circles where we can influence things and mitigate disasters, instead of withdrawing and weakening.

I love seeing the Hoody rant on the NHS.

Totally oblivious to the fact that his own political party have always been poor on the NHS in his lifetime let alone the Tories.

It is one of the many things both parties fail to consistently deliver on.

posted on 15/4/20

I dont have a political party but whichever way you slice it trying to spin the longest waiting lists in recorded history as doing a good job is pretty funny to watch.

posted on 15/4/20

Never ever said anyone is doing a good job on the NHS.

Exactly.

I realise that our politicians can't resist an open goal by playing up the isolationist rhetoric. But we're ceding more and more influence and soft power to China every single time we do this.

We've practically handed them Africa, Australia and most of Asia over the past decade.

Nationalism has taken over the west to some extent. China is having a field day but what gets me is that as China is left to it's devices, whatever scourge that comes out of that will still decimate the west. It won't care they were not involved etc.

The world is a village now. Nationalism of this kind is allowing your neighbour to keep a wild tiger. One day it will inevitably break loose, and you're burying your head in the sand and hoping when that happens it will just eat you're neighbour and go away when the truth is you will be next on the menu.

You will suffer a similar fate, even though you never kept a tiger.

I know but it is just whataboutery. Having worked in the Labour run NHS I'd agree to an extent. The problem then was mass wastage though really and daft deals. I didnt see any 'save the NHS' demonstrations. Even anecdotally at all levels is obvious that the Tories have left the NHS woefully under prepared for all this and I dont really see how anyone can say otherwise.
