    It should be perfectly possible to have views which may differ from others. I welcome any attempt to stop the usual reliance on lazy and boring abuse.

    Yes of course it is quite possible to discuss how we are in the current situation, but to say that it is going to go away because a political party might be in power in five or ten years time is nothing more than wishful thinking. I was out yesterday afternoon, and when I read some posts on my return I was not happy with the personal abuse being handed out. There have been some very good insightful posts on the thread, and that should continue, but as those good posts showed we are much better than just sloganising or throwing abuse.

    Trite, baseless rhetoric may continue, though?

    There is a pattern here though.. One poster seeks to antagonise.. No one else does it on here and we have many differing views..... That poster has no interest in the community.. Only in peddling one line.. Which is clearly divisive.. We have tried Frenchie...

    There are millions of respirators being used in the NHS today. Most countries have had a shortage of PPE at some stage.

    If the divisive sloganing is removed then you will see no abuse... I am not a betting man but am sure of that ..

    It is highly offensive, too; particularly when juxtaposed with people like that young lady in the picture you posted, yorkshire. <ok>

    Do you seriously believe the government has cared for our NHS staff?

    There is an attempt by the majority on here to have complete freedom to post certain political views, especially those against the present UK government. This is meant to be a forum, if all that is required is a Soviet style left wing propaganda machine without reply then so be it.

    A forum is a place for people to express their own views, but to simply keep repeating something that has no substance in reality adds nothing. If you have some original thinking it is welcomed by all, but a parrot can be taught to say a few words.

    That is your opinion, clearly you are part of the problem clique.

    are you really a person , or a algorithm designed to counter any post by anyone else ?
    Millions of respirators ? is that your attempt at humour ?
    Shortage of ppe , no , only those who refuse to prepare are found out .......
    Govt was warned four years ago , after an excercise exposed the system as unable to cope , the report was buried , and here we are , unable to cope , the procurement process is clogged , the internal drug market system collapsed , unworkable, , dreamed up by loads of bureaucrats that have no connection with health workers, this is symptomatic of much british corporations..............there false clothes reveal nothing underneath.
