Most on here seem to think you can’t leave your home in London without being raped or stabbed by a girl who was born a boy who lives in an open house for asylum seekers. Interesting take from someone who claims to know what others are thinking all the time. Care to elaborate on your quote and who said that? I have never claimed that. Read the social attitudes thread. Some posters have written about how Londoners apparently think versus how everyone else in the country apparently thinks. Then read the London thread. Many (who don’t live in London) have a rather peculiar view of what it is like to live in London. |

I meant you always give that impression. London is great to visit for a weekend, and I’ve worked there more times than I want to remember. But it really shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as the rest of the U.K. |

But it really shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as the rest of the U.K. London is a key part of the country, but so are many other of our cities and London gets far more than it should because it has been so successful. We need to invest in other cities to make them as successful. I am not a leftie. Never have been. I am generally a centrist but at this time of chaos following a ruinous Tory regime, I think some left wing economic policies are needed (taxing multi millionaires on their wealth) to help level up society a bit. I actually think most would agree with that as a policy. Tax everyone with £10m plus of assets 1% of global wealth. This government seems to want to give those people more money and lower taxes because they lie and say the wealth trickles down. |

Classic case of a politician feathering either their own or their mates nests. Which pretty much every politician does on every side tbh. The political system in this country is stained with corruption |

Let's do it! You seem to be under the impression that because you don't hold the party you support to any standards or accountability that the rest of us don't either. I don't think anyone is excusing Tony Blair of anything here and would likely agree with alot of what you say. The difference is more your refusal to hold our current government to any form of criticism, regularly deflecting and distracting from the shit show we are all living in. |

For all those on here who think/say "they're all the same", there is an amusing disconnect between thinking that and what they choose to post about! |

Murdoch, Rothermere, Desmond, Barclays....all either foreign or British with non-dom tax status. Patriots, the lot of them, of course, just don't feel like contributing personally. |

Choose the side who you want to support and then stick by them no matter what happens, my side is good and your side is bad. Simples. |

Just for a bit of balance like. I’ve had 5 CT scans in last 4 years and booked in for my final remission scan in May next year. These are scans to ensure cancer, removed by surgery in 2019, has not returned to my intestines. I guess that doesn’t make good reading for you Grauniad readers. |

Hope you're recovering well mate and get a final clean scan for remission:) I think the guardian article is based on official stats from the health service rather than just opinions. Very much a postcode lottery these days with GPs. Alot of the big issues in my experience are those not yet diagnosed with an illness trying to get scans and appointments. |

Delighted to hear that your cancer has not returned. However, one person's experience doesn't really take anything away from the 50% rise in people waiting for diagnostic tests since 2019, itself different from the 7.7m currently waiting for treatment. So, while happy news in your case, and long may it continue, not really balance at all, whether you're a Grauniad reader or not. |

www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-66917025This is what you get giving contracts to the lowest bid and starving the NHS of funds Checks and measures need to be in place but that costs money something this government won't do as they want to fully privatise the NHS The NHS is not safe in there hands
