PM's Question Time worthwhile? Hmmmm, not sure....

Today’s Prime Minister’s Question Time once and for all showed that MPs have no idea what causes the NHS problems. According to many Conservatives there are no problems except the waiting lists and that is because of the Pandemic of two years ago. According to Labour MPs it is just the government’s inability to stump up more cash and satisfy the wage demands of the public workforce. The government’s or rather the Prime Minister, keeps mentioning 5,000 new nurses and loads more doctors. Yet it seems not to make any difference. Perhaps the PM ought to also look at how many nurses and doctors have left the NHS? I am certain that the number is quite high. The other thing never highlighted is the health situation of the population at large. It is quite obvious to anyone just walking the street that far too many are obese and way out of condition. This is also shown by the numbers now contracting Type 2 diabetes and other conditions such as cancers, heart disease and strokes. These are serious conditions and incredibly time consuming and costly to treat besides the costs of the equipment. I have said many times before, the NHS is a money guzzling entity. Not surprising but with the medication, the equipment and upkeep of the hospitals plus the newer and improved methods of care it is not strange to know that throwing billions at such a service will never be enough. The question also asked of the PM was about one of the problems with obtaining GP appointments as well as dental services where the books have closed to new patients. Again, what has changed? It is true even where I attend, the dentists are not accepting new patients. There are two points, firstly the demands put upon the service by fashionable ideas like teeth whitening amongst others. No longer is it just to look at decay and filling cavities. Secondly, it is the noticeable increase of the general population in numbers. In my area we have doubled if not tripled the numbers, since the Sixties.

In Wales there have been a number of years of haphazard housing development which has attracted people from England to buy the cheaper homes. One area where I live, there are more people now from Western England, Bristol etc than original Welsh born persons. This will give more problems which I will not mention now but one of them is losing the oldest language in Europe. Watching PM’s Question Time one is always hoping for concrete answers to today’s problems but it never does. It is basically platitude time. In one way funny to watch the spat between the PM and the Leader of the Opposition but it does not answer the needs of the nation. Just a spectacle for the masses who will promptly forget everything that was said and go back on the phone to try to get a doctor’s appointment.This is also one of the reasons A&E are incredibly busy. People just go to A&E rather than the local GP. Well, I have no easy answers. I just want to point to the probable reasons. Hoping that people including our local MP, will see more clearly the reasons behind the problem. Through that make decisions that will really help! Now that would make a change!

Where are the aliens?

  The question and Answer software called ‘Quora’ had some quite interesting debate about aliens. I am bowled over by how many, and some are quite educated, believe in aliens. Particularly that they have been here and not just that, are still here and doing great intelligent things like making crop circles. I have to be honest here and say that yes there are aliens except we will never see or hear them. As probability will tell you that with trillions of galaxies, having billions of stars the likelihood of other life is near to 100%. The problem is that life such as ours on Earth needs to move but in such a way as is possible on Earth. That is to say, a gravity of 1, oxygen to breathe and food of a kind that is digestible. The next thing to consider is movement, meaning star travel. It is pretty clear that life such as on Earth is not really around in our solar system. We might find some microbes but that’s about it . The distances between the star systems even

Is there such a thing as mind-control?

One of my favourite author’s Scott Mariani. Writing explosive stories with the great character he created, Benedict Hope. The latest gung-ho story called The Moscow Cipher actually highlights one of the things that has bothered a lot of people. That of mind-control. I’ve wondered about that as well since even in this country that is a process carried out. It is not a bloody affair as depicted in the book but nevertheless computers, the power of the chip has made it so much easier to influence the minds of the general public. Fake news, little bits of untruths here and there. No hesitation in deluding the general public. Just read, listen and make your mind up. All done in the name of “the truth would harm us all”. But will it? . We have smart phones. With chips that know where we are, what we do and what we say. And yes, it is logged somewhere. We have been rail-roaded into using Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp. Google knows more about you than the taxman or even your partner and that

Is humanity performing euthanasia on itself?

Looking at the happenings in the Middle East I wonder how suddenly Hamas, i.e the de-facto army of the so-called Palestinian state, took it upon themselves to invade Israel. It cannot be a coincidence that Russia needed some pressures, not in Ukraine but somewhere else to take away the limelight on them. W here better than the Middle East. I am virtually certain that one way or another there are political shenanigans afoot. What IS Palestine exactly? I know about Bedouins, Arabs and Jews, are these not all one and the same? Sure, there are different religions but if you look very closely there are great similarities. It is stupid of most of us not to notice but three of the most followed religions are all based on the same precedents. So w here does the term Palestine come from, I might ask. There was the Ottoman empire, and prior to that the Roman. Prior to that Alexander rampaged through the area. Prior to that we had Egyptians, Hittites and God knows what else. Even monkeys held sw
