...so drug companies are overcharging for drugs then?
As I said.
Whoever owns the patent, and sells the drug - they're still a drug company - I never mentioned drug developers.

But why bother reading what anyone else says (apart from to correct their grammar) when you are (in reality) just having a conversation with yourself in the mode of 'educating' everyone else! ('cos apparently no-one else can Google). :-S

I see George Osborne has spat out his dummy and said publicly that TM is a dead woman walking. Sour grapes, certainly, self-first and childish. Corbyn supporter really? He feels what he feels but I would have thought that someone who calls himself a Conservative would not have voiced out loud those sentiments at this time, certainly not a man who was not a brilliant Chancellor and, in my opinion, got that post because of his friendship with DC.

Anna Soubry has had something to say too.

What is wrong with these people? With Brexit negotiations on the horizon I would have expected no public outburst against their party leader. It's time they were supporting her, not doing her down.

Give her a go, for gawd's sake!

Trouble is with all parties they're all out for personal glory...not the good of the country.

I post 'piffle'???
I can Google just as well as you can.

In fact, as you've resorted to your inevitable childish behaviour - I can only assume I do it better :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

As I wrote on 9 June, 18:37, Rollo, country first, but I am not at all sure that some MPs have a mature-enough outlook to do so.

I am not at all sure what you mean about Brexit being a dead duck because in my book it has to happen regardless of how soft or hard it is. That's the way the vote went. It did not go my way but I am not one for childish tantrums and stamping of feet when my way doesn't prevail.

In the same way, although TM did not reach the magical 326 figure, neither did JC and he was far behind her.

Time to dig for Britain, I think, instead of bleating on as some have been doing.

Rollo.

If you think so little of the UK why don't you move out and go to the EU and live there,seeing as you are so fond of running the Country and Government down.

I have to agree with Sue's comment.

We live in the UK so have to get on with whatever problems arise.

It is absolutely of no benefit to keep banging on about Brexit and how catastrophic it will be for the UK, only in the fullness of time will the true outcome be revealed.

I have the option of moving abroad, that will only come to pass if Labour ever get into power.

Supercrutch,


Yes I have the same option of moving countries if Labour get in which will be my last option.

Why do people think she should be given a go? she screwed up what SHOULD have been the easiest win ever following in the wake of the referendum.

I don't think disapproving of the direction the country is going in ( my perception admittedly, and that's really irrespective of which party I support) is actually not liking or even loving this country...if you don't care about a place it doesn't matter to you what happens to it does it?

And we're back to with those in charge all band together for the good of the country?
Looking at the last few days I'd say no too many ego's too much party politics...election is done get over it do the best of a bad situation.

Why shouldn't Ms May be allowed to 'give it a go'? The Tory party won the most seats, agreed not an overall working majority but far more than Labour.

How is Corbyn going to fund his minimum wage? SMEs will be choking and so will their businesses. Where is the money going to appear from to scrap University fees? Do students still grasp that they will have high living costs? Anyway devolved Governments may well have different policies (Wales do). Am I in favour of the tax payer funding 'the study of the evolution of the Dandy comic? Errr answers on a postcode. Give bursaries to those studying Math, Science and Teaching (repayable if they give up on the course). Don't put all students into the 'useful' bracket because some of them certainly aren't.

Where will the money appear from to build the promised 100,000 plus new houses per annum? Borrow, borrow, borrow........let's leave huge debts for our children/grandkids to repay through taxes in a decade or so.

Today I have been watching really nasty remarks spouted by the two main parties to score personal points, that's both sickening and very unhelpful.

Every public service has problems with funding, since when that has been an historic subject of discussion? Let me think? at least 40 years to my knowledge.

Because she is weak ( and weakened) Supercrutch, you will note I did NOT say that the Conservatives as a whole shouldn't be "given a go", as they keep reminding everyone they got the most votes, but I do not believe she is strong enough to deal with Brexit.

If she hasn't even the wit to consult her own party before announcing a manifesto that was cobbled together without general cabinet approval ( apparently) and seemingly designed to lose a good section of her own party's core of voters along the way, then how is she going to negotiate with a much tougher crowd ?

Genuinely, whatever party she represented I don't think she has the qualities to hack the job, certainly not in a time of economic and social change. To be fair I think it would be one hell of an uphill struggle for anyone.

Edit PS

" Am I in favour of the tax payer funding 'the study of the evolution of the Dandy comic? Errr answers on a postcode. Give bursaries to those studying Math, Science and Teaching (repayable if they give up on the course)."

I notice you didn't include Politics :-D But yes that would seem fair, except that I would say any subject that broadens the mind and increases intellectual capacities is not wasted.

Workable,,,,


yes workable.

if you have a problem with that then suffer it. rolly.

Ruth Davidson for PM?

Pretty sure; and can't be bothered to waste time and check; you said before all this hit the fan that you'd be ready to jump over to France first chance you got Rollo...hardly sticking it out with the plebs is it.

Didn't I read somewhere that dear old JC is going to try and stop the Queens speech getting past so he can form a Government....up to at least yesterday he was saying quite clearly he can form a Government still the people have backed him to do so!!

Oh, so I'm silly now. I have been called worse.

I'm sure you have bob :-D :-D

As nothing is final it'll be interesting to see how the next few days go won't it.....

Not only that he wants another general election!!!

How much does it cost to run an election these days?

Well one thing about our Pm she wont have to meet MR Trump now. Oh dear he isn't coming to the UK until he feels people will welcome him :-D ;-) are you all upset now :-( He could have come to Scotland & had Dinner with M/s Sturgeon :-D
