Grandpa goes to Buckingham Palace last night to tell President Trump to leave the NHS alone, and isn't allowed anywhere near him!

Corbyn is a joke. Labour were giving it large yesterday about how he would corner Trump and give him a dressing down... and what happened? <laugh> non entity.

meanwhile in today's news....
Apparently that leaked information (400 pages NHS) that Comrade Corbyn was waving waving around came from...
Wait for it....
Russia.
Well done Jezza. <laugh>

Labour has put all it's eggs in the Trump basket hoping he may say something where us voters will suddenly change our minds and vote for Corbyn?
Someone should tell Jezza that if Trump calls him "an insignificant @@@@" we will agree. <laugh>

It seems those eco freaks have glued themselves to the Limps tour bus and gave Swinson a hard time.
The funniest comment was at the end when the limp spokesman said “ just to confirm that the bus is electric”. <laugh>

Brits returning after Brexit could cripple the NHS with extra demand.
However, 200,000+ immigrants entering the UK every year has absolutely no effect whatsoever.
Only racists say so.

      • Health boards in Tayside and Fife are preparing for a post-Brexit surge in ex-pats seeking to register with GPs – and possible shortages of medicine, food and even laundry detergent.
        Planning documents suggest the number of British nationals who return to the UK after the country’s departure from the EU could put strain on already stretched practices.
        And health boards also say shortages of some medicines could occur six weeks after leaving the EU.
        There are also fears there could be disruption in the supply of radiopharmaceuticals and radioisotopes, which “may impact on patient care”.
        These are normally used to carry out tests but radioisotopes can also be used to treat some cancers
        A Freedom of Information response issued by NHS Tayside also warns food shortages could limit hospital menus and an “inability to provide laundry detergents for high soiled items in the long term may lead to a reduced service”.

        It also warns of a reduction in the available workforce while “there may be a number of UK residents who return to the UK seeking healthcare”.
        NHS Tayside has established an EU Exit Readiness Group to plan for the leaving the EU.
        Its work is based on the UK Government’s National Planning Assumptions, which have been modified by the Scottish Government where there are variances in Scottish policy.
        A spokesperson for NHS Tayside said: “NHS Tayside has well developed EU Exit plans which have been evolving since 2018 in preparation for possible EU Exits in March 2019 and then October 2019.
        “Planning continues and involves NHS Tayside staff, Health and Social Care Partnership staff and Resilience Planning Partners.
        “The issue of possible increased pressure on GP services has been considered within the Impact and Risk Assessments developed by the three Health and Social Care Partnerships.
        “Planning is being taken forward as part of their Business Continuity arrangements and GP practices also have processes in place for managing new patients. Although it is unknown, it is not anticipated to be a big risk as new patients would be likely to be spread across Tayside.”
        NHS Fife is also preparing for Brexit.
        Director of public health and chair of NHS Fife Brexit Assurance Group Dona Milne said: “NHS Fife has established a Brexit Assurance Group and is doing all it can to plan and mitigate against as many of the significant uncertainties that exist around leaving the EU.
        “The group is working to ensure the board’s readiness in case of a no-deal scenario, based on Scottish Government planning assumptions.”

If you are so confident about the election (and likely with good reason), could we cut the bull **** propaganda? You go ahead and stand with the lying tw*t if you like.

Bloody hell Trump is in town! <doh>
Just seen sky devoting all their news to mock him. I bet all the usual freaks will be out in London (fresh from their Brexit, anti-capitalist and Extinction demonstrations). <doh>

They were yesterday, swamped a paltry NHS anti-Trump protest with the usual assortment of Momentum scruffbags. Traffic totally f*cked in town all week because of them...

Yeah we need a load of bronzed geriatrics skilled in robbing banks. That’s comparable to working age fit Europeans.
