So for them, the pharma industry has worked quite well. Much better than if it wasn't in place.







Why did you only answer one of seven questions in that paragraph?







Of course I would go to my GP for a prescription. I can't believe you really thought that was a question worth asking.







In an earlier post you were stressing how we should trust a doctor to prescribe us medicine. Now you want to stress that they're corruptible to the point that they prescribe drugs that didn’t best treat that patients symptoms, wasn’t cleared to be used for those symptoms, and was cleared for use for the symptoms it was used for using incomplete and cherry picked Data and people have died because of their willingness to accept (presumably illegal, bribery does tend to be illegal) payment from companies simply to earn more money. I wouldn't do that with IT infrastructure so I am disturbed to find doctors are so corruptable.

Perhaps I'll seek another alternative to a GP or a sales rep.

UKIP will probably take votes of all parties. To say they will only take votes from the Tories is simplistic.







To dismiss peoples genuine concerns about Europe / Immigration as nonsense is a very wrong.

It's looking like a worryingly comfortable Tory majority to me. UKIP are doing well in the opinion polls but come the general election most of those people will vote Tory, especially as the Tory party will continue to talk tough on Europe. They've managed to get away with pretending to be anti-Europe for 30 years despite being pro-Europe. They'll do so again. As I have said umpteen times and someone has just said above, Labour's leadership will make them unelectable.

As I said on another thread, Osborne today started the PR machine rolling with his covert attack on Cable and his overt attack on Labour and despite spinning the last five years of depressed world economies so that it appears to be all Gordon Browns fault, he got away with it and had his soundbites all repeated verbatim.



After twelve more months he'll be able to sell horsemeat as prime beef and none of us will notice the difference.

What about the Lib Dem vote? I can't believe anyone will fall for whatever they say again and I don't see antone who voted Lib Dem last time but not in 2015 as defecting to the Tories.



Where I live in a marginal seat , two way fight (UKIP is nowhere) the Lib Dems should be toast whereas last time IIRC they affected the result letting the Tory in.

They will take hugely from the Tories compared to everyone else. Massively. There are very few who voted for Gordon Brown in 2010 whose concerns about Cameron are now solved by UKIP. There aren’t many who voted for Nick Clegg in 2010 who wont vote for them again because the Lib Dems haven’t gone far enough to the right.



I don’t dismiss peoples genuine concerns about Europe and Immigration. Lynton Crosbys dog-whistle isn’t however a representation of genuine concerns.
