News on British health and life expectancy

[EddieM]

Yep - its really expensive for me to not smoke, not take drugs, drink and eat in moderation and take regular exercise. My work is also completely stress free, I have no deadlines, I get paid win or lose and I have no competitors. Life is peachy in the Unicorn breeding business.

how's the data gathering coming along?

Try having no job, no hope, no future, you'll be eating badly and quite possibly smoking or worse pretty soon.

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

I foresee a peerage for Jeremy the Hunt.

Complete and utter garbage. Examine the facts educate yourself. Other countries are having the same results that have not had economic pruning.
Typical leftie nonsense as usual.

not backed up with any evidence

perhaps you should take some advice, oh here is some:

Examine the facts educate yourself.

In Post #10 I showed the data for other countries and its very much in-line.

Its right to pull people up for posting views as fact without any evidence. However, if the OP offers nothing, he or she cannot very well be critical of those who post info that is contradictory, even if less clear cut.

even if less clear cut

certainly it seems life expectancy rates cant be used very usefully to show austerity as a factor.

it seems most European countries have a sharp fall in 2015.

Especially if it's not a factor.

You are very unlikely to achieve the life expectation figure when you were born, if you die before that age.

Was on the radio today a professor of virology saying that 40 -70% of the uk population will be smited down with covid-19.

 

[EFLImpudence]

Just the UK?

Doesn't seem fair.

Sure it wasn't urology ...taking the P.?

 

[Ryler]

It was definitely an "ology".

Surely the rich need the underclass to support their lives otherwise they may have to actually do something. Let's bring in the purge.. baggys a sniper rifle and handgun for when things get close up sticky.
