It’s not like you didn’t see it coming. Socialized medicine doesn’t work.
The majority of universal healthcare systems work just fine as long as they’re funded properly. The NHS has problems because we have a government that consistently cuts the healthcare budget, not because the healthcare system is “socialised” (it’s not, in fact it’s being privatised increasingly and that is where a significant amount of the underfunding and overwork issues are coming from).
Also, the Daily Mail is a borderline far right tabloid and should only ever be taken with the largest pinch of salt.
Capitalist countries love to undercut any and all forms of socialism -domestic or abroad- and then point to the crises they create like “This is why socialism doesn’t work” while capitalism slowly fails around us
They most def found the taxpayer money to fund the wedding…
The daily mail is a right wing shit rag. The NHS in England & Wales is being crippled deliberately by the fascist tory party so they can speed up the privatisation process. This means people are left to die, the NHS is on the brink of an engineered collapse. Fortunately in Scotland the SNP controlled Scottish government has retained most control over the Scottish NHS, which is properly funded and flourishing! The English insist on voting for fascists though…

I asked my boyfriend in Canada once, how he deals with polar bears because I was curious about what to do and he was like, just be calm, let them know you’re there, and give them space and they’ll usually just go away.
did I ever tell you guys how I lost the most overtly religious friend I’ve ever had because she insisted I was hellbound over a pair of jeans
apparently not by your reactions SO let’s talk about emily
emily was catholic and found it really, really important that you knew that
she was discrete for the most part (sign of the cross before meals and blushing when the lord’s name was said in vain sorts of things) but she had a habit of berating people for politely declining her invitations to her church services and was sort of a pain in the ass about it at times but that’s beside the point
we were friends for about two and a half years
and then she borrowed a pair of my jeans.
now these jeans
were not just any pair of jeans
they were lucky brand jeans and the nicest jeans I owned at the time, but I was always cool with letting people borrow things when they really needed them
so this fateful day rolls around and emily is freaking out because she tore her skirt (as in straight up the back, mortifyingly torn) while we were out for coffee waiting for her other friend to pick her up because she was going on a weekend trip with this other friend’s (even more religious) family and her only other option was a pair of starchy pants that would absolutely suck to sit comfortably in for a five hour drive
so I do what any good friend would do and give her the extra pair of jeans I have in my car
which are my luckys
now I didn’t think anything of it and just assumed I’d done a great service here right
but flash forward three days
and she comes back
and doesn’t say
anything
just hands me the jeans
pivots
and walks away
so naturally I’m like??????????
so she proceeds to send me a text the next day saying that I made her look horrible to her friend’s mom because she nicely offered to wash the jeans before returning them and that’s right around the time I remember that Lucky brand jeans have a lovely little note on the fly
they look like this
and then you unzip them and
so that’s the story of how my catholic friend stopped talking to me because I accidentally tainted her social life with my subtle sexual vicious trollop jeans
That is both terrible, and absolutely fucking hilarious
This salamander is the sole known example of a vertebrate
playing host to a symbiotic microorganism of any kind, photosynthetic
or no. And needless to say, something very interesting – no one is yet
sure exactly what – is going on between the two.
