Points to Ponder

[Hugo]

I just don't get it,  if we go abroad and have to go to a hospital we have to pay for the teatment  ( or our insurance company does ) so why doesn't it apply to the NHS  when foreigners have tyreatment here?       Any cost for translaters could be included in the cost for the treatment received
As regards UK citizens being treated by the NHS  well English is the official language of the UK and didn't Teresa May when she was in office say that any dependants whose English had not improved in the 5 years that they lived in the UK then they would be deported back to their country of origin.
Now her statement was a nonsense remark for a number of reasons but if anyone wants to live in the UK and integrate then they should be encouraged to learn Englise

The question everyone must be asking " is why did they do it? "            A custodial and a compensation order against them may deter  other morons from doing something similar

Don't waste water during hot weather, people urged

Perhaps every property should be fitted with a water meter and paid for the water they used?      Then people may be more careful with their water usage

It’s a very interesting read.  The Tory gov even gave themselves a 10 year contract in 2019,   So reading about them I’ve no doubt a few grubby Tory’s have /are making real money behind this.

It's true,  corruption in the Conservative Party is alive and well.       Jo Johnson who was involved in a PPE  company during the Covid epidemic got a peerage from his brother the PM at the time while Boris's dad Stanley got a knighthood and it's all legal. 
Even the Tory Chancellor of the Exchequer Osborne was a tax avoider and they all get away with it
