^ welcome to England. The leftist wowsers infested most of the higher reaches of the public sector many years ago. After their economic project failed so disastrously, their sights turned to social, cultural and moral questions, pursued through the public sector - esp education- and the media. In this they have succeeded tragically well, and now they are in a great position to relaunch the failed economics (the second phase of their essentially totalitarian agenda) under the guise of Corbynsim.

I gotta feeling that some serious ambulance chasers are going to make a lot of money. patient injured as a result of police chase, then rights violated. The nurse assaulted. No wonder the Mayor apologised. Take the money honey and have a few weeks in the Bahamas. And pay off your mortgage.

The copper should simply be sacked.

There was a very poorly done doco on Four Corners recently showing poor Americans being paid to donate plasma that was then sold to " big pharma" to manufacture what they called pharmaceuticals. It made no statement that the process in Australia is very very different ( much ranting at the TV did I).

So our Blood Service put out a call today for O Neg donors as stock is low due to the impact of the cold and flu season and a whole lot of numpties reply with " well they sell it to America - I saw a documentary" " I'm not donating when they sell it" and FMD can you get these numpties to understand what happens here even when you explain it in very basic language and give them links to factual information - nope!!

Has the wearing of tin foil hats now become fashionable?

Beam me up Scotty :roll: :evil:
So, the ABC produces misleading stuff and a lot of numpties who think they're smart, watch it.

Correct summation? :P
