Project 2025 in a nutshell if you vote for Trump. 

Only if he wins, which I hope he does, but don't think will.

Off topic, but yes, Trump likely agrees with most of it, as do I, and I hope it comes to fruition. 

 

 

 

Maybe in 4 1/2 years you might have a shot at it

No, unfortunately I think the left has succeeded in taking over virtually everything, education, media, big pharma, press, the administrative state, the military industrial complex, finance, corporate America and the military, so I do not see it turning around, certainly not in my lifetime, likely not in my kid's.

Agree 100% about the NHS being the best thing about the UK.

 

My final comment for now is that I worked in the NHS after you left and when I started at the hospital there were no Philippine nurses- lots of Australian agency nurses. They got rid of most agency nurses and employed mainly Africans and also some Philippine nurses.

 

I worked at many London hospitals as an agency nurse on weekends and most were awful. I had my op in a hospital that was still using Victorian buildings, and it was filthy. I had a follow up op in another London Hospital and it was filthy as well. At least the hospitals I worked at in NZ were immaculate, and we nurses did a lot of cleaning as well as permanent cleaning staff on the ward, unlike the NHS ward where the nurses did no cleaning. The NHS was using agency cleaners and they were useless.

 
That does sound like it's gone down an awful lot. It needs more money but it's a bottomless pit.

As you well know, he disavowed it. It's going to be tight, I have to admit, but I think the Democrats have pulled a conjuring trick with this Biden thing and no nomination process for KH.

Ok got it. It's also an acronym for the Sydney Morning Herald, owned by Murdoch. A great friend to his shareholders. Fox just cost them $767 in the Dominion out of court settlement.

 

You're not worried it might fall off?

I taught at a German university in the late 1980s. One of my students was an about to be middle aged woman, an English physician who had been in charge of a London hospital. I thought she was extremely nice and intelligent. Followed her husband to Germany and quickly became fluent in the language. Was back in school partly because not only did the Germans refuse to hire her as hospital staff, they wouldn't even let her practice. Both Germany and the UK I suppose are very different places these days. But back then at least the Germans were the biggest sticklers you could find for access to professional positions. The latter in particular may have changed. An old colleague some years ago told German universities were trying to reform the Habilitation, making professorships easier to acquire.

We'll see in November, won't we. I'm stocking up on popcorn to enjoy U Tube VDOs of the snowflakes melting again.

Yes, but he's never heard of it........doesn't know the first thing about......although he does disagree with parts of it?????

I'm not familiar with it at all- I assume it's some right wing wet dream about taking over the country.

While I doubt it could happen, IMO if it did, the left would be to blame for trying to make the country woke and the backlash destroyed them.

Poporn may be easier for you to swallow than the result of the election! 🤣
