Yep. I switched over to using Ubuntu Server edition for both of the Pi's. With it being LTS it tends to remain stable for a long time, unless I mess something up.

And you keep talking about funds. Funds aren't the issue, medical treatment is free.

You will not get treated at an A+E for non-emergency, they will refer you to other agencies.

I know how the NHS works, you obviously don't because you keep harping on about insurance and funds.

Yep, I have an old Pi 3 that runs PiHole and Cloudflared. I had to change the OS to Ubuntu Server to keep it stable.

Because we pay for the NHS by taxes

And private health doesn't pay for EMERGENCIES.

You're either not from the UK or don't understand how the UK system works.

Well, then you don't know anything.

1,000 lightweight multirole missiles
1,200 air defence missiles
200,000 artillery shells

Plus 150 million towards US air defense and interceptors

That was a strategic decision, the UK bankrupted itself protecting Europe during two world wars.

We thought the US was a stable partner, in fact, it has been until the last decade even with different political factions.

The UK-US to this day still co-operate scientifically for Nuclear research.

What are you talking about? The UK helped the US build the atomic bomb, then independently created their own warhead after WWII.

It's a shame they weren't so overwhelming against Israel who has killed far more civilians, tortured, raped, killed medics and journalists.

Double standards.

Yes, they had help from the US in the design stage. But, their program contains no US technologies and doesn't use US tracking or targeting information.

That means it is fully independent of the US in every way.

Rutte needs to stop gargling Trumps balls and speak the truth for once.

The French nuclear program is completely independent of the US.

And the UK significantly helped the US with their nuclear program, even though their propaganda says otherwise.
February 12, 2026 at 12:59 PM
As a Brit, I strongly agree. The UK and France have been allies for over a century, we constantly produce scientific papers together, created marvels like the Concorde and have co-operated on many defence projects.

We need a cohesive system, which we then offer to other European nations.
February 12, 2026 at 12:55 PM
Err, this isn't the US. People don't need insurance to get health care. It's free at the point of service.

It happened because there were a record demand due to winter viral surges.

*services not surfaces. No idea how I mistyped that ha
February 12, 2026 at 12:48 PM
Paying private companies to provide surfaces to help with a backlog is far different from privatising the service.

It was the Thatcher government that started outsourcing services, when they weren't busy destroying industries.

Then Major made it worse and it kept going downhill under Blair.

I see many similarities between Russian and US television propagandists.

They live in a fantasy land and constantly spout bullshit
February 12, 2026 at 11:48 AM
Yes, they intercepted the missiles with buildings

You seem to be confusing the Tories with Labour, the Tories massively underfunded the NHS and created many private contracts (some very dubious)

Labour increased the NHS budget, give direct cash injections, waiting list has decreased, pay deals with doctors, more recruitment, etc
