One of my carers works with young girls who are often put into that
group. She tells me she has never met a girl who got pregnant to get a
flat. She says most young girls who get pregnant intentionally really
want to have baby! That's certainly true in my family.

I would also remove, by whatever means is easiest, any
wind turbine to which anybody has any objection, for any reason.

The first large ship that breaks down in a storm near an off shore
wind farm will remove several wind turbines. If one hits a Siemens
transformer/junction box in the German Bight, the lights could go out
in North Germany. ATM the risk to the latter is slight mainly because
Siemens have technical problems with their implementation.

Crazy thing is wind turbines actually use power when the wind isn't
blowing, and cost more to build and maintain than they produce.

We used to be world leaders in nuclear power, now whilst pretending
we don't want it Southern England has become dependent on
French nuclear stations.

After Scottish independence, SE can draw power from the former Faslane
nuclear submarine base located on the Thames. :¬)


Scotland will have to subsidise its own wind turbines, and buy our
nuclear generated power at a realistic price when the wind doesn't
blow.

I've known two people who agree: a mid-brown Trinidadian man, amateur
historian (and drinking mate) who said that Enoch's speech was right - if
anyone bothered to listen to it properly and then an ex-girlfriend who was
from Cameroon.
Bothe came here with useful qualifications, gained more and worked.

Well I don't know, because the Blair government did seem to pump a lot
of money in.

But they spent it in the wrong places and did even more damage than Tory
"cuts" (ie increases which aren't as much as asked for). AFAICT they
don't see it as a health service so much as an unemployment figure
fudging service by creating non-jobs. This has considerably worse
consequences than merely wasting money on their wages, because to make
them look busy and justified they have to do all sorts of crap which
interferes with the process of doctors and nurses actually getting on
with treating and caring for the patients.

And have you been to the dentist much since 1997?

Do they really want to earn the money to pay for their child's upbringing?

I really want a better house and a newer car. Can I expect the nation to pay
for these things just because I really want them?

Maybe not intentionally but i know of girls who were happy being
pregnant knowing it put them at the top of the housing association ladder

It's odd that dental care has always been partly outside the NHS.
However, accepting that it is the charges don't seem unreasonable.
There's the cost of the spanking new building, and of course that surly
teenager behind the desk has to be paid, even though she regards
patients as an unwelcome interruption to her social networking.
