Zut Alors!

This is something we can quote back to you in the not too distant future.

You have to give them time boyo. Took two Tory terms or more to grind the NHS down, innit.

Care to do the same for London?

The though of seeing French troops guarding The Palace, must have sent them into photo blackout.

Vive La France!

The excuses begin in earnest. How long will it take then, roughly?

So you don't know then. No explanation, just blind faith. Thanks for confirming.

Well spotted Sherlock.

So it's their fault, but not their fault. righto.

Change to Labour (or anybody else) or stick with more of the same.

Only a fool would want more of the same.

How do you work that out.

It's been a slow gradual deliberate process to get to where we are.

There is no instant reverse

or an aging population and a less healthy, increasingly overweight population places an ever increasing burden on a service.

That isn't sudden.

Its not a new issue

Is becoming overweight and a burden an inevitability of old age?

Do you intend to be overweight and a burden, if and when you reach your silver and golden years?

Is it just a symptom of wider societal issues?


Could our government set in motion the structures and attitudes, to encourage healthier old age as the default, and not the exception?

 

[motorbiking]

That is exactly what the government should be doing.

Encouraging healthier lifestyles means we cost the state far far less. But it's our responsibility not any government.

I'm 15kg heavier than I was when I was racing bicycles at a competitive level (TT and Ultra Enduro MTB). But every once in a while I have a blitz and shed 10kg in a few months. As you get older, you have to manage your fitness in waves, you cannot be tip top fitness 365, like you can in your 20s.

I'll probably have a heart attack at sea or drown on a race. But I intend not to be a burden nor massively overweight. We can all take responsibility for our life choices

Certainly got a lot worse since covid but steadily getting worse since the 90s.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

That is exactly what the government should be doing.

And can plan for

Encouraging healthier lifestyles means we cost the state far far less. But it's our responsibility not any government.

And can encourage, easily

Agree. It's not sudden, it's been happening for ever. Shouldn't be a surprise, and it's not a reason for any excuse
