I don’t know his entire history but part of his education is from Eton College and Balliol College at Oxford Uni. I would say that those stats would make him better educated than average, but I recently learned that Fuckwit Abbott read history at Cambridge.

A large proportion of UK pms went to Eton.

Very few didn't attend a top university.

Absolutely. Worked with a few Ph D people.

Looks like the fight is on for the soul of what remains of the Labour Party.
Much as I'd like it to implode and disappear up it's own backside, no government should operate in a vacuum. We need an effective opposition and I'd rather it wasn't the Lib Dems. They couldn't win an argument with a deaf mute.... and if that delusional little pigmy north of the border thinks she's the new opposition then she's in for a rude awakening.

when it comes to doctoring, paying will help stop the tourism patients coming from abroad leeching off the NHS.

Good point, I forgot about the health tourists. Indeed, they’re supposed to pay anyway but the bastards abscond without coughing up.

Something @derek kelly has a mild view on, too

The British Medical Association recently stated that they don't think that charging tourists should be done because it "only" amounts to £100-£300 million a year.
Meanwhile, my other half works alongside various doctors and consultants in the hospital's Histology & Pathology labs where the lowest paid doctor in those departments is on £70k....good to know that BMA members have a grounded, real world understanding of value for money to the British tax payer.

The simple answer to this is no pay no treatment, surely that's not too much for boris & his cronies to grasp

No need to thank me just vote for me in the next round of elections

Spend any time on a hospital ward and I guarantee you'll see a gaggle of nurses stood around gabbing about the X-Factor, I'm a Celebrity, Strictly, etc. while others do their work.
One of the reasons my other half moved into an admin role from physio was because she was hacked off with doing their work before she could get on with the business of providing physio treatment to patients.

This whole "nurses must have a degree" crap now churns out staff who think they're above doing the more mundane and unpleasant duties that nurses used to do.

They were known as 'too posh to wash' when my missus was in nursing.
