Last Notes npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Sometimes you come across something that fascinates, and you wish you’d written yourself . Here’s one such. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Wouldn’t it be better if the commentariat stopped frothing about Wes Streeting’s desire for the big chair, and looked at how much money he’s taken from the private health sector while he dismantles the NHS? npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons He is out of his mind, isn’t he? npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Starmer: “let’s wait and see how the wind is blowing, while in no way implying the slightest criticism of the gangster. There, I think that covers it.” npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Well according to yet another fascist BBC Scotland were platforming this morning, all this stuff is out of date now. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons The moment a chancellor says “trickle down” we know: npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Unfortunately the English Government has long abandoned the idea of public service. Now private companies are allowed to extract as much profit as they can get away with. Royal Mail wants to be a parcel courier because it’s where the money is, and it seems to be killing letter post as fast as possible. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons A reminder that when Křetinský bought Royal Mail in April, there was a solemn guarantee that current levels of service would be maintained. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons This issue refers specifically to England and Wales, and not to Scotland where water was never privatised. You really should know that if you want to be taken seriously. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Come on Scotland, time we got free of the evil Empire. 🏴 npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Not necessarily, but a pencil can hypnotise a cat. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons not to mention the tax dodgers and money launderers [sorry, the ”reputable” banking sector] in the City of London npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Time to clean up Labour’s overt conflicts of interest. Lord Walney’s fresh ties to the defence industry. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Never Google for this house.🦆🦆Go for us. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons OK. Well, first I looked up what a burrito is. (Not unlike a pitta, fair enough.) Then I watched someone making an absolute pig’s ear of demonstrating the method. Lots of giggling with a bed too wide to reach over. So I cut the video and decided to look at another one later on, while reminding myself that what takes me most time changing a duvet cover is fiddling with the **** buttons. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Do please explain that. You may help solve a lifelong problem in this house. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Remember the US is where the last financial crash originated, npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons I’m so glad that I don’t touch Google npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Excellent news. We can all do this if we tell the oil barons to eff off. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons And just across the road from Hugh Miller’s cottage is a really good pub. Just saying. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Excellent policy push to get rid of this npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons That’s very metropolitan thinking. Try selling the idea in the Highlands. Actually, first of all visit us here and understand our lives. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons We should have a bell to ring every time they come up with that one. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Fair to say, I suggest, that any UK Government these days is primarily concerned with its own wallets, and its collective future life prospects. The interests of the plebeians are secondary. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons UK Government is not Scotland’s friend npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons You forgot the No 1 rule of BBC Scotland. If it can be criticised, get out the megaphone. If it’s good, ignore it. If forced to mention something good, “yes BUT” and “ah, but WHAT IF?” And talk over the answer. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons “NOTE: The NUAR is focused on England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Scotland has already built a similar system via the Scottish Community Apparatus Data Vault (SCADV).” npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Agreed!!! npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons I bought a Jethro Tull the other day, having lost my original. In an antique shop. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Don’t worry Jude, he knows not of what he speaks. Quinag may be big, and brandish its peaks, but it hasn’t the sheer class of Suilven. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons That’s our taste in furniture npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Scotland’s NHS has an IT system on which patient notes are available equally to GP and hospital practitioners. Developed carefully over time. England has a history of going for big bang, and abandoning failing projects after wasting billions. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Seems fair comment npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Breakdown of expectations between England and the other nations is needed. People we know darn sarf have turned to private hospitals for life-saving ops out of desperation, not free choice. npub1p44eqjca2hh9d92qx7mcgf8qg8a6zxnp24uuevn4pq6uej43fmkss5mx4v Ferryoons Grabbing. Plundering. Enslaving. Patting selves on back over it, and singing Rule Britannia.
