Maybe, just maybe, its something to do with staff shortages? Or maybe, perhaps, to having the NHS overstretched by the current pandemic so that staff are already at breaking poiint?

Typical, I guess. Speeding is everyone's business. Speed kills and excess speed kills.

Today at 1800 there were about 6500 aircraft in the air. Normally there would be 16000. WHo says so? Flight Radar - check it out

Well, so you cannot provide the evidence. At least that would appear to be the case given your silence not only here but on a previous blog that, when challenged, you abandoned and ignored. I wonder if you have seen the recent news about flooding in Yorkshire which many people are suggesting is the consequence of climate warming. That is the very heavy rain. Or the very extensive flooding in ...

You should be banned for your total insensitivity towards people. You insult the injured. This is disgraceful

Yes indeed. The increase in funding that has been promised merely moves the budget a little back to the funding lvels of 2015 and does very little to address the shortage of money in schools.

No, not simple. presumably if it was simple then we would not be having this discussion at all. We are having this debate because the material is showing some people how serious is teh current situation I had hoped you might take the trouble to read a few of the entries in the website above. They might, perhaps, enable you to see what scientists have been saying for many years. Or, put another ...

Yup you are right. Ice is ice. No problem. Maybe go tell that to the Titanic.

Paul, like Boris, is being almost totally delusional much of the time as well as being positively unclear about what he means and understands. EU is a communistic organisation? Please define communist, or at least what you mean by the word. A trade deal with the UK will benefit both? How? Please explain Trump a Great Man? Explain Great and how it applies to Trump.

Burnside needs to understand the political process. You win some, you lose some; its the nature of debate and reaching decisions. However, I note that once again, maybe its always, he fails to provide any substance or evidence for his claims. Its just a throw away line of invective with no substance. Maybe you need to read something. SInce you mention Wiki maybe you would see that he was a great ...

...and another. What is it about car drivers inability to read and understand?

Deedoodle once again lowers the tone of the debate. But, to stick to facts; Conservatives needed about 43,000 votes for its 318 seats Labour about 49,000 votes per seat for its 262 seats The Liberals 198,000 votes per seat for its 12 seats The SNP about 28,000 votes per seat 35 seats The DUP about 29,000 votes per seat for its 10 seats Sinn Fein about 34,000 votes for its 7 seats The Greens about ...

No, they are peoples homes. They live there. Breath. Enjoy life. Raise children.

Vehicle Excise Duty: This statement is to be found on Wiki and clearly indicates the logic of charges; Thus before 2017 it was as follows: The pre-2017 VED structure based on CO 2 bands was introduced in 2001 when average UK new car emissions ratings were 178 gCO 2 /km. The Band A threshold of 100 gCO 2 /km below which cars pay no VED was introduced in 2003 when average new car emissions ratings ...

So, you buy online. OK. Who maintaines it or fixes it? Online again? Or you need advice on something that is not quite right? Online again? Well, it won't be Bob will it as he will not be open!

Maybe some of the contributors above might just check to see what sort of democracy we have. Its called Representative Democracy. That means we elect people to represent us. They do that  by making decisions. They do not have to consult anyone. Margaret Swift is wrong in the following assertions: " Remember, they have no qualifications for the job and are there to do what we want!" They do have ...

@Margaret Swift : you say that "cyclists have no clear idea of where they can and cannot cycle". actually most do. they can cycle on cycle paths and the can cycle on all roads except motorways and any other (very few) where they are ban ned eg in some tunnels. I would also point out that JD2017 referred to cyclists preparing for races: eg they are riding not racing.  I think we should all adopt a ...

I think you are on ypour own there.

John Clatworthy says that the Tories have made "no reduction in the Education Budget". Correct. They have not. But this is mis-information . All children receive a set amount to attend their school and it is this which pays for their education. It has not increased. But costs have increased: eg NI costs, pension costs, energy, books and materials, salaries and so on. Thus the budget now buys ...

Wonder what you like, but you will be wrong. Again attempting to reach conclusions with virtually no evidence to support them. Again, what properties do I have that look like another character? I note that I am, still waiting for your responses to my questions. I guess that since evidence for your claims is non-existent you cannot answer the questions.
