News on British health and life expectancy

[JohnD]

I think we can agree that ten years of Conservative government have brought the intended result.

I foresee a peerage for Jeremy the Hunt.

It is part of the conservatives green deal, it helps reduce peoples carbon footprint.

Its known as UC (universal culling).

Death cult.

What do we need? Austerity.
When do we want it? Now.

IDS was on GMTV this morning busy saying it was Labours fault that austerity was needed.
And he then said he would not apologise for universal credit as the benefits system was in need of overhaul and tge bew system was much fairer.

Until the media pull the politician up for their lies then nothing will change.

Was on R4 this morning too.

It's like crime rates and global warming - all the evidence supports the fact that government policy is causing the problems, but the government and its supporters refuse to see it.

Some of them Tories should be carrying health warnings.

 

[motorbiking]

drugs, alcohol, mental health, exercise, diet all play a part.
Richer people tend to be aware of that.
Deprived areas have high drug and alcohol abuse. People with mental health issues tend not to be able to hold down a high paid job.

I'd like to see just how many people lived longer as a result of access to private healthcare.

Conservative Austerity seems to have hit the US too:

Looks like a similar pattern almost everywhere

It really is very simple. The things that have steadily improved life expectancy - better housing, better nutrition, better education, stable work, easy access to medicine and doctors - have all been in decline over the last 10 years.
10 years of austerity is making the country poorer, and people sicker and they are dying.

What could the solution be? Ah, yes, more austerity, as that will make the country wealthier ...

I've heard it all now, who is to blame for global warming (or climate change as they prefer to call it now),Tory or Labour government?

 

[transam]

people snuffin it early in the grand scope of things is a good thing

people are living to long .

worst thing the NHS did was to discourage smoking.

people need to think of the greater good for the country and not be selfish

take one for the team

Transam would / will consider the next generation

People with mental health issues tend not to be able to hold down a high paid job.

How much doe Diane Abbott earn ?

Some of the DIYnot stress heads are heading for an early grave for sure.
