Jeez . You don’t even read the stuff you cut and paste . No wonder you never put a link in. It doesn't say the directive hadn't solved anything only in your mind. The Department has responded to patients’ concerns about being unable to see a doctor in the evening and at weekends by issuing a national directive to extend opening hours using directed enhanced services. |

You will be please to see I found it. 21st century battle of Trafalgar.
Nelson: “Order the signal, Hardy.”
Hardy: “Aye, aye sir.”
Nelson: “Hold on, that’s not what I dictated to the signal officer. What’s the meaning of this?”
Hardy: “Sorry sir?”
Nelson (reading aloud): “England expects every person to do his duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability.”
“What gobbledygook is this?”
Hardy: “Admiralty policy, I’m afraid, sir. We’re an equal opportunities employer now. We had the devil’s own job getting ‘England’ past the censors, lest it be considered racist.”
Nelson: “Gadzooks, Hardy. Hand me my pipe and tobacco.”
Hardy: “Sorry sir. All naval vessels have been designated smoke-free working environments.”
Nelson: “In that case, break open the rum ration. Let us splice the main brace to steel the men before battle.”
Hardy: “The rum ration has been abolished, Admiral. Its part of the Government’s policy on binge drinking.”
Nelson: “Good heavens, Hardy. I suppose we’d better get on with it. Full speed ahead then.”
Hardy: “I think you’ll find that there’s a 4 knot speed limit in this stretch of water.”
Nelson: “Damn it man! We are on the eve of the greatest sea battle in history. We must advance with all dispatch. Report from the crow’s nest please.”
Hardy: “That won’t be possible, sir.”
Nelson: “What?”
Hardy: “Health and safety have closed the crow’s nest, sir. No harness. And they said that rope ladder doesn’t meet regulations. They won’t let anyone up there until proper scaffolding can be erected.”
Nelson: “Then get me the ship’s carpenter without delay, Hardy.”
Hardy: “He’s busy knocking up a wheelchair access to the fo’c’sle Admiral.”
Nelson: “Wheelchair access? I’ve never heard anything so absurd.”
Hardy: “Health and safety again, sir. We have to provide a barrier-free environment for the differently abled.”
Nelson: “Differently abled? I’ve only one arm and one eye and I refuse even to hear mention of the word. I didn’t rise to the rank of admiral by playing the disability card.”
Hardy: “Actually, sir, you did. The Royal Navy is under-represented in the areas of visual impairment and limb deficiency.”
Nelson: “Whatever next? Give me full sail. The salt spray beckons.”
Hardy: “A couple of problems there too, sir. Health and safety won’t let the crew up the rigging without hard hats. And they don’t want anyone breathing in too much salt – haven’t you seen the adverts?”
Nelson: “I’ve never heard such infamy. Break out the cannon and tell the men to stand by to engage the enemy.”
Hardy: “The men are a bit worried about shooting at anyone, Admiral.”
Nelson: “What? This is mutiny.”
Hardy: “It’s not that, sir. It’s just that they’re afraid of being charged with murder if they actually kill anyone. There are a couple of legal-aid lawyers on board, watching everyone like hawks.”
Nelson: “Then how are we to sink the Frenchies and the Spanish?”
Hardy: “Actually, sir, we’re not.”
Nelson: “We’re not?”
Hardy: “No, sir. The Frenchies and the Spanish are our European partners now. According to the Common Fisheries Policy, we shouldn’t even be in this stretch of water. We could get hit with a claim for compensation.”
Nelson: “But you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil.”
Hardy: “I wouldn’t let the ship’s diversity co-ordinator hear you saying that sir. You’ll be up on disciplinary.”
Nelson: “You must consider every man an enemy, who speaks ill of your King.”
Hardy: “Not any more, sir. We must be inclusive in this multicultural age. Now put on your Kevlar vest; it’s the rules. It could save your life”
Nelson: “Don’t tell me – health and safety. Whatever happened to rum, sodomy and the lash?”
Hardy: As I explained, sir, rum is off the menu! And there’s a ban on corporal punishment.”
Nelson: “What about sodomy?”
Hardy: “I believe that is now legal, sir.”
Nelson: “In that case. Kiss me, Hardy”

Look it up, she broke up a family and stole someone else's husband, a right real upstanding role model, a typical double standard hypocritical LEFTY. That neither makes her "woke" nor a "virtue signaller" which was your claim. Hence my assessment that you were talking about the wrong person. NO I am talking about the RIGHT Jess Phillips, take it from me, Well unlike you I generally judge a book by its cover, I don't trust a woman who will run off with someone else husband, but that's just me. |

Woke virtue signaller? Think you have the wrong person there. She's very straight speaking and genuinely cares about the charities that she has volunteered for. You can be free to criticise her politics by all means. Look it up, she broke up a family and stole someone else's husband, a right real upstanding role model, a typical double standard hypocritical LEFTY. Talk about A cabinet typical double standard hypocritical people a high-ranking aide at No 10 Downing Street continued to work in Boris Johnson’s government despite allegations of sexual misconduct against them, according to reports. Two women have given first-hand accounts of what they claim happened to them when one was assaulted and the other groped by political figures, both now in senior roles. A former parliamentary staff member for the Conservative party, who wished to remain anonymous, relayed details of a sexual assault by an MP who is currently a cabinet minister. |

NO I am talking about the RIGHT Jess Phillips, take it from me, Well unlike you I generally judge a book by its cover, I don't trust a woman who will run off with someone else husband, but that's just me. So, just to confirm, you are not repeating your original allegation that she is "woke" or a "virtue signaller", because neither are true? |

Do they both now work for Labour HQ? |

Well there is also the small matter of, Rwanda doesn't have room for hundreds of thousands maybe just a thousand at the outside. And we do I suppose...... The majority of the electorate don't think so, so they need to think something is finally being done about it, meanwhile mass amnesty in the background and show willing to send a few hundred stragglers will do the job, there is only one actual way secure the borders, but nobody ain't going to be doing that. |
