Not to say, of course, that Rob might have first hand experience of the NHSs unwillingness to address Type 1 diabetes... or rather the consequences of such.

Nail on the head

you would buy the £20 ones instead of the £22. Any of us would,

Rather a wild generalisation. personally speaking, if it was a choice between safety or saving a few bob, safety would be at the forefront

The core was clearly as much on fire as the outside... Be surprised if the final tally isn't well over 150...

It ain't right and it sure ain't fair. But life's like that sometimes.

I wonder if your sentiments would be the same if it were your friends or family members

 Under current building regulations (2006) only the surface of the cladding has to be fire-proofed to class 0, which is about surface spread. The crap behind, more often than not foam insulation or polyethylene (PE) doesn`t.
In the States these types of cladding panels (most notably PE) are banned from being used on properties exceeding 40 feet in height.
Says it all really

Type 2 diabetes is, in the vast majority of cases, self-inflicted. Got no time for them. The powers that be should devote as much energy, finance, etc to type 1 IDD`s.

Benefit claimants are to be killed and eaten.

Only those

My reply may have seemed flippant, Rob, but the truth is that there's no point going over it now. People have voted and we get what the majority wants.

............and it won`t be the ordinary person`s nest being feathered whoever takes #10 Steve

•Spend at least two per cent of GDP on defence and increase the budget by at least 0.5% above inflation in every year of the new parliament.

I thought the responce this time was pretty good

Only because it was central London and the powers that be decreed that security was beefed up along with "resident" SAS and armed response units. Wonder if 8 minutes would have been achieved in another area of the country

It doesn't matter anyway. Doctors surgeries are clogged up with the unemployed and elderly and immigrants and they'd get it for free. Along with expectant mothers and mothers with babies, anyone under 18 and people with existing medical conditions.
Doesn't leave many to pay, does it?
