I just don't see how another pm will get a majority for anything. Whatever they promise to re negotiate depends on the eu being prepared to re negotiate. Though there may be a change in stance if a lot of the fascist parties get seats. The majority of mps don't want a "no deal". As for no parliament, what's the alternative, mob rule? Mps filter the thoughts of the baying mob, often stirred up by little men seeking power. Look what happens when they don't, chaos ensues.

Boris will get in, and given the fact he doesn't give a shit about anything, we will just drift into a Brexit. No deal, no money involved. Feck the eu. Come Sunday we will see mission creep from the far right into EU seats, and that will create havoc.

If Johnson does get in will it be the first time that a UK prime minister has been known to most people by their first name?
I can't think of any other PM who has not been known by their surname.

Treeza the Appeaser?Β Maggie? I think most people would describe the era of Margaret thatcher as "the thatcher years" not the Margaret or Maggie years. Same with May, Cameron (despite his Dave thing), Brown,Blair,Major and all the others. Nobody else has managed to get the plebs to call them by their first name in general conversation . Its a familiarity thing. Clever bit of marketing. Hopefully someone will come along and scupper him because he is bad news.

Politics as we know it is obsolete. We all have a limitless amount of data at our fingertips, which has never happened anywhere in the world at any time before the 21st century. Same goes for doctors to an extent. When I had pneumonia very badly a few years ago due to not being someone who visits doctors I did the research and ended up coming to the conclusion I had CAP (community acquired pneumonia) which is a bacterial type and could kill me if I did not take medicine. So I went to the doctor. He opened up his search engine and suggested I may have CAP and need penicillin. The only function the doctor had was to authorise the chemist to give me the medicine. The CAP was caused by a dentist bodging an extraction causing major blood loss. Dentists are something else I avoid if possible ! I refer you to Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari. One of his conclusions is that highly qualified technicians and professionals will be the first ones to become unemployed as the data revolution takes hold. Particularly the average doctor and all the financial whizz kids in the city who have come to rely on internet data that can be analysed much more efficiently by an electronic brain, and conclusions and decisions made in milliseconds. SWMBO was with the GP the other day claiming that she had developed shingles, having checked out her symptoms on the web and found they matched perfectly. The quack said it was impossible because she had never had chicken pox. When the missus insisted the doc went on the web and after a few minutes research she agreed that it was possible after all.

There are always horror stories ref NHS apathy and Drs who do not listen to their clients. My neighbours brother in law went with weight loss and poor appetite/breathless ..diagnosed with depression without any investigations Daughter took him to another GPs where chest X-ray revealed a sinister cause for his symptoms. With weight loss of 4 stone the first GP should really have looked a bit deeper We do need advanced technology to assist with diagnosis..I for one would see that as beneficial.

Very true that NHS horror stories are common place, last year (long story short) Chris had an issue with one of her cocktail of drugs and despite telling the doc that she was tired and sleeping all the time with no energy he insisted she maintain the recently changed dose. One night she asked me if I was still in the room because she couldn't see me, her sight had gone, this alarmed me and I checked her BP which was 65/50 and her O2 sats were only 65%. I immediately put her on oxygen and dialled 999. She was blue lighted to Addenbrookes where it proved the drugs had stripped her body of potassium which is essential for muscles to work, and the heart is just a big muscle. The result was another stay in hospital and an investigation at our surgery, all because her concerns were ignored. It was lucky I have O2 for her COPD likewise a oxymeter both bought by me to aid her breathing. Lucky I did not just let her sleep because she would not have woken, her body was just shutting down.

And did you report the doctor for insisting she just carry on - why did he not think of the potassium issue? I wonder how many doctors are really qualified. The General Medical Council seems to be a somewhat toothless watchdog. GMC cover image. "So the GMC designed an entirely bureaucratic system (called βrevalidationβ) which was guaranteed to increase its own power and income and which ignored the fact that if Shipman were still alive and practising he would sail through with flying colours." www.spectator.co.uk/2014/10/get-rid-of-the-gmc/"There is little or no point in the GMC admonishing doctors for breaches of medical etiquette when the environment in which they work is dangerously and criminally inadequate." www.vernoncoleman.com/useless.html
