This article spells out very clearly the "private sector" issue for Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust. ( Andrew George speaking - a very unusual MP!). http://www.thisisthewestcountry.co.uk/news/cornwall_news/11777577.Government_policy_has_left_Royal_Cornwall_Hospital_Trust____high_and_dry_____...

I'm not sure, but I think I got this file via a link on RichardBlogger's Twitter. Just checked - it's dated 28 January 2011. It's The King's Fund "support" for Lansley's NHS Wrecking Bill (aka Health and Social Care Bill). http://www.kingsfund.org.uk/sites/files/kf/field/field_publication_...

Came across this and couldn't resist. It's the spitting image of one of my Dad's cats .... I used to have to feed him cod in the a.m. and chicken thighs in the p.m. Scandalous, I know, but a habit I had to continue after Dad died or'se I would have been struck down by lightning from my Mam who'd gon...

Paul - (and anyone else interested) On the old forum you'll remember we were doing some work on NHS Property Services Limited. I've since been nibbling away at the Company about the promise it made to load on its web site, in transparent view, the Asset Register. I've had e-mail correspondence and t...

Well, I've got 10 shortcuts for articles at the G provided by FTNers ...... but I've not been there all week and I think, with the continued good links provided to other sources, I may actually have been weaned off it. Wait until tomorrow night though! :| Edited to add: It's not easy to stay away th...

@TobyLatimer - thanks Toby for that news about Windows 10. Agree with others that it is unusual if I can upgrade in due course to 10 for free. Shall wait and see. In the meantime my self-built ancient desktop with XP Pro is sitting in the other room waiting for a new monitor if I decide to buy one!

Do you want to hear something daft? Recently I had a health scare. My immediate and only thought was regret for all the books I'd never get to read.

Some lovely thoughtful posts today Here on the best online site! It's a good day, I'm starting the treatment I need today after a years wait.

The somewhat tense mood on here reflects politics more generally at the moment. Labour loyalists need to accept that many left-leaning people are disappointed with the party - not just for its failings in government, but the fact that the move away from NuLab orthodoxy under Miliband has been more ...

I am now taking the piss - quite literally - to the vets. See you later.

Every Friday night I used to look forward to a two pack of jam and cream doughnuts, shared naturally with my Dad's three cats. It was one for them and one for me!

Is it just me? That BBC article about the debates is almost screaming to me saying - they only really want Ed Miliband there so that they can do their bashing without interruption. There's never going to be a debate between Cameron and EM because Cameron is shit scared and knows he has no intelligen...

Above, To be fair, while this is not a Labour Party supporters forum officially, un-officially it kind of is. Mainly because they are the Stop the Bastards Party.

One of the first things Nik Johnson said when he arrived from work at the #SaveHinchingbrooke meeting had started was that he needed to clarify that he was there and speaking as (1) a member of the Hinchingbrooke Team, and (2) a resident of Huntingdon, and that his comments were personal in spite of...
