Other: £67billion. Costs more than the police and the army together. ****, that's a lot of sundries. [/QUOTE] Petty cash and expenses innit?
**** off. The NHS is one of those things I (and probably most people) are happy funding from our taxes. How about givingng Wales and Scotland full autonomy, so they have to self fund as well as govern. They're a huge drain on the English Economy.
I'm a bit twitchy about some of the stuff we're paying for (IVF etc) but in general AOL. Heh, quick - cross post to some local groups! One of the most argumentative R2 phone-ins[1] I ever heard was on the subject of Scottish autonomy, that's something that won't be resolved in a hurry.

All I want from the NHS is that they look after those that can't afford to look after themselves and by that I mean kids and pensioners. We're still way ahead of a lot other countries when it comes to health care and I'll never bitch about paying for it.

Any arse-originating assertions would be issuing from your direction, I would contend. When petrol prices change, it's usually that evening. Dodger says that tobacco and fags are the same. What's so special about booze?
