Re: Is the situation in the UK really that bad?
Imagine if every problem within the UK was excused by saying, "Well it happens in Australia/USA or wherever."
Talk about the UK, it's a UK forum, discussing UK problems, UK benefits, UK living. To keep running back to the old mantra, "Oh it happens in ******" is a cop out.
Because it happens somewhere else doesn't make it acceptable in the UK.
If that was the case......... well the place really would in dire straits.

I have been talking about the UK and it's health service.....but you can't accept that because it is all a bit too positive for you?
I give positive examples and you simply fall back on the "well it is not like that elsewhere in the UK"....and then come up with another negative story you have trawled off the internet

I became ill on a trip home last year. I ended up having to go to an ER in Wales. I spent five days in hospital. The care I received was excellent.

Re: Is the situation in the UK really that bad?
On a lighter, more flippant note......
“ Some bombs gone of in London”
“ Don’t worry about it. Happens in Bagdad every day”
“Phew!! That’s alright then. “
*****
“There’s families having to use food banks in the UK”
“Not worth talking about, unless Bob Geldof gets involved”
*****
“What about the influx of immigrants, good or bad thing?’
“Tsk!! Ignore it. You should see the countries bordering Syria.”
*****
“ Peoples wages have gone down, in real terms, by 13%’
“That’s nothing mate. In America they employed people for years and years without giving them a paycheck.”
*****
‘What about all the guns, they seem to be everywhere these days”
“Not compared to WW2”
******
“ OK, can we discuss the UK economy?”
“Only if we can compare it to Zimbabwe.”
Goodnight y'all

This is the review of the GP surgery I was at - not good but it is only one surgery - http://www.nhs.uk/Services/GP/Review....aspx?id=44382
I would assume though that this website could be used to see the feedback for any GP surgery, and may help those that have more than one in their area to make a choice
