More reality

Another survey has found that GPs aren’t distributed equally round the country. Mainly because they are allowed to choose where they want to be and some areas, like the ones where the patients think it’s okay to get violent, are not that attractive.

Oh, really?

Are we really supposed to be impressed by someone in government service realizing that working at home increases carbon footprints if empty offices are still being heated and lit because the health & safety rules say they have to be? Which puts the spotlight back on the validity of worrying about carbon footprints if ours are as nothing compared to what’s happening in China, India, etc., in the way of carbon dioxide production.

Human Nature

Should we be surprised that some areas of the country have twice as many GPs as others? Not if we recognize that GPs are people who have preferences for where they live and they’re not mindless grey blobs, which are distributed randomly and equally everywhere. And they’re especially not going to want to be in areas where the customers get violent.

The ME! Syndrome

“Are Tory plotters so vain that they would risk catastrophe for Britain?” we were asked. Well, yes. They think they can get something for themselves out of the plotting and that’s all that matters.

No sugar, Shirley

The boss of the supermarket Sainsbury’s has seen fit to warn us that the costa living crisis will get worse before it get better.
    Doesn’t he think we know that? Or does he think we live in some parallel universe where things are different?

‘Dumper’ Heard dumped on, the Wagatha Saga over – the legal trade must be in deep mourning until the next spat comes along.

Not very generous

“The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away”, we heard at the start of an episode of Murder, She Wrote, which makes the Lord an Indian giver, which is a Bad Thing. Or was before all references to Injuns were banned.
