I'm sorry but talk of austerity is political mumbo jumbo.
I'm not going over the same old crap again but please put things into a sensible historical perspective before you go on one of your Lefty rants.
The relationship between meat and cancer is not proven as it cannot be tested in a strict scientific environment. It is primarily cured meats that seem to have alarm bells ringing so the sensible course of action would be to cut down on bacon etc and have it as an occasional treat.

Mumbo jumbo? I'm staggered that you can't or refuse to see the impact of austerity on millions of people across the country.

In historical terms life expectancy has stalled and some research shows it going backwards. This is the first time for over 100 years this has happened. It's allowed pension schemes to knock hundreds of millions off their expected liabilities as people are predicted to live less long than previously thought. This is a phenomenon unique to Britain. We're not seeing this in other OECD countries.

The biggest impact is in poorer communities, where people have been driven into fuel poverty, where access to social care has been cut, where people rely on food banks, where NHS services have been cut and A&E wards closed.

On November 16, an article in the British Medical Journal Open concluded that severe public spending cuts in the UK were associated with 120,000 deaths between 2010 and 2017. Just over a third of these occurred between 2012 and 2014 and almost none in 2010 or 2011. The rate of death due to austerity was rising and there was what is called a “dose-response relationship” between cuts and rising mortality. This term, commonly used as part of the evidence needed to establish that a medicine is beneficial, means that as you increase the dose of an intervention the responses to it rise at the same rate. It can also be used to indicate likely causes of harm.

In this case it indicated that the more cuts there have been to public health, social services and benefits – particularly for people in old age – the more earlier deaths there have been in the UK. Cuts that prevent visits by social workers to elderly people reduce their chances of being found after a fall at home. Cuts that make it harder to rehouse someone who is currently in a hospital bed back into the community, result in hospital beds not being available for others.

Diet is also a key factor with a lack of education and a government kowtowing to lobbyists, while providing swingeing cuts to the public bodies responsible for ensuring food safety.

120,000 deaths and counting is just political mumbo jumbo though...

Well it is happening for sure as CE says.

So why do we tolerate it?

If you doubled the NHS budget what would it be, 10 billions?

I wouldn't have people suffering, what perverted logic is that?

Cosset them, look after them, life is hard sometimes especially when you are ill.

Why is a compassionate society a problem, its not actually expensive compared to other barmy projects or servicing debt.

The NHS budget for 2017/8 is projected to be 122 billions according to the gov site.

What sum would fix it I mean properly.

It is a bottomless pit of expenditure which will struggle more year on year to cope with the ridiculous annual growth in population caused by immigration.

The funding gap is estimated at c.£20bn or c.1% of GDP. This would bring our spending in line with other Northern European countries who are not seeing these problems (and also have better diets). Our spending is more like a Southern European nation, who benefit from less severe winters, better diets, and also culturally a lot more care is given in the community and by families and they have different work life balances. We can't be a culturally northern European nation while investing in our NHS like a Southern European one. When you do you get the results we're seeing now of overstretched services and worsening outcomes.

Austerity is not mumbo jumbo. People's lives aren't mumbo jumbo.

I've been chastised for making predictions on this very thread.

I'd argue that it would be better to vote for any party who has a manifesto that promises adequate funding for public services funded by more reasonable levels of taxation.

Currently the only party offering that is Labour.

Labour would also do more in terms of food safety and preventing questionable meat entering or being produced in the UK.
