Two Tier Health is Already Here

Posted on August 8, 2022

A chap I know from cricket hurt his back the other week. He went to hospital, and they sent him packing to his GP as being in agony was not urgent. His GP said he would need an MRI scan but that would take three to six months. Pay up or Feel the Pain So, in pain, he bought one for £300.00.

A Right Jubilee Pickle

Posted on June 2, 2022

Miller got caught red handed indulging in mortgage fraud about 15 years ago. She was let off with it by making an apology. ...
