Well, you can Google for it...it hasn't kept massive pace in the last 8 years thanks to Tory austerity. We both have problems with an ageing population and medical science making advances which aren't always cheap, both of which lead to pressures on our healthcare systems...for which we can...

Not a problem for us over here...

I think I know what I am better than you, thanks

No, we raised the poor up and lowered the richest ever so slightly...Which they could more than afford!

I'm not. But I am a finite being and there are more important issues for me than a rather unhealthy at times obsession with sex

Your assertion is as bald as my pate and as naked as a newborn

One word: underfunding. A Conservative government giving tax cuts to the rich funded by welfare cuts to the poor
