Mr Ixer

What actions were possible in Mrs Thatcher's premiership for the UK to 'becoming leaders in renewable energy' ?

And why does the Labour government not simply nationalise the North Sea oil and gas companies and then stop any further extraction work and rely on renewable sources ?

Something close to the latter point is the policy of the Green Party who we are lead to believe are snapping at Labour's heels and I don't understand why Milliband's proposals are 'aggressive and possibly unrealistic in the current economic and world political climate'.

What's it to do with the rest of the world.

Where there's a will there's a way, no ?

And why do you cleverly segue into comment about the NHS.

You must be the only person who thinks it is perfect.

Yet stories of 24 hour or greater A&E waiting times are quite common and even Health Minister Wes Streeting says its annual calls for more funding should be challenged until it can show this will be an investment leading to improved services and not just a bigger payment for what is being delivered now.

And - 'It's surely better than some fragmented insurance system that many may not be able to afford to get adequate health care, let's hope if we were to have a Reform government they won't rip it to pieces and replace it with a US style system that some of Nigel's friends would like to implement and exploit here'- is just diversionary gaslighting and a chance to take a dig at Reform.

Whenever the efficiency of the NHS, from which I have received excellent service, is questioned there are those, you for instance, who wheel out the old cliched argument about 'a US style system' (that is insurance based) 'that many may not be able to afford to get adequate health care'.

It's not that binary which I would have thought you with your IT background would recognise as demonstrated by many EU  health care systems.
