You wouldn't call something that wasn't a banana, a banana. So the same should apply to any product, including meat, burgers, sausage, cheese etc.

We also need to consider the cost. Doing a second degree at £10K per year minimum is probably not sustainable for most. How do we make lifelong learning affordable?

I was once in a meeting where someone genuinely wrote “forward planning” on the whiteboard and got to the first N in planning before realising the phrase wouldn’t fit on one line….

Let’s not listen to the basis on which people are legitimately protesting, let’s just suppress them more so we don’t have to hear their protestations.

What a wonderful world we live in. An ex-president sentenced to prison (www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...), the current US president a convicted felon. Our own prime ministers found guilty of criminal behaviour (not quite on the scale of the above).

Nicolas Sarkozy sentenced to five years in Libya campaign financing case

The former French president was found guilty of criminal conspiracy but cleared of other charges.

Unfettered, unchecked and unaccountable spending will (and possibly already has) bankrupt the UK. Irrespective of being "politically correct", the government simply needs to say no to excessive spending.

Do these doctors still work in the NHS? Were they sanctioned for their poor work? In the commercial world, such incompetence would have resulted in a written warning or dismissal.

How can anyone have faith in the NHS when so many of these stories pervade?

Something is fundamentally wrong with a health practice where six different doctors can turn away a patient implying hypochondria. Surely one of them must have thought something was wrong or being incorrectly diagnosed.

Rather than having a new "rule" in our so-called wonderful NHS, shouldn't we be asking what action was taken against the doctors and the surgery in question?
