Yep. I just found the clip on YouTube. It's just over 10 minutes long but it's an interesting viewpoint from the youngsters who will inherit the mess they will be in through no fault of their own. Billions of pounds given to private companies from the public purse.

Should be known as David 'Camel' -ron as he has his head firmly in the sand!!

Did anyone read about the man who worked in Mansfield in the sports shop who was too afraid to have a day off when he felt ill? Then ended up in hospital. It seems they operate a Zero hours and the workforce get 'strikes' against them for being off or late etc, they then stand to lose their jobs.
This is just 'one' on the list Pete has posted - disgraceful that people in the UK are treated in this way

We now also are starting to see the results of the cut backs to home care, elderly people left in hospital because they have no care at home. The next problems will emerge with the cutting back of support to the disabled and vulnerable which Derbyshire are having to do because of cuts backs from the Government!
It will all bounce back and bite them on the butt eventually!

I have been to A&E twice in the last 3 months.
First with my daughter late one Saturday night when she scalded her leg - it was very quiet and we were soon back home.
The second time just before Christmas when I was admitted.
I had about a 3 hour wait before being taken to the EMU - so Chesterfield Royal Hospital didn't do to bad considering the crisis we are having around the country.
