Originally posted by Bwana View PostA decade of austerity would do many people in this country a lot of good. And what does 'austerity' really mean - living within your means, driving a car that was designed to get you from A to B, not to impress your equally shallow minded neighbours, wearing clothes that didn't cost a weeks salary for the average income, having one foreign holiday per year instead of two or three, living in a country where the prices have not been inflated to ridiculous levels because people are not able to tollerate it (regardless of whether they want to/are too pathetic to resist).And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

Austerity is more like, having a sensible car, and knowing if it breaks down you will have to give up eating meat to pay for the repairs.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Actually the real trick is to leave tossers like sas 'guru' here in the UK and for everyone else to go somewhere nice.
Sus 'guru' we will leave the light on for you, grow your own veg to eat with the rats etc. OK??

Why would a period of austerity bother a contractor? I only ask for water to be piped to my house, my bins to be collected, street lighting and the police to make an effort around my area. I pay more than enough for that.
A period of austerity is not going to hurt me.Comment

But what are the chances of that? No, it will be swathes of NHS cleaners, nurses, teachers at the bottom level who will go.

However, some parts of the ward were filthy and dangerous. It was not the fault of cleaners but of other patients and nursing staff that didn't give a damn. I fell lucky to get out of there alive.
If the cleaning was done by the NHS then it would be even worse. More people would die of the filth than the original problem.
From my experience, the whole of the NHS need to be replaced with a private scheme.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
