| Most the NHS dentists stuff is now charged in an attempt to fund better salaries to attract dentists back to the NHS. So a basic checkover costs about £25 or something, fillings, etc cost £50 and root canals, etc about £125 and anything more you get referred to hospital. The NHS Dentist I saw offere... |

| Oh no its a very recent crisis! We have had free dental care since the advent of the NHS! For example I had my wisdom teeth out last week at a nice brand spanking new NHS treatment center for free! Yipee! Anyway more and more NHS dentists have opted to go private, thus the number of NHS dentists per... |

| Yes, I am sure it will be used for people jay-walking. They need this since the British Police were unarmed by the stupid frickin anti-gun morons. 1. We don't have a stupid and pointless offence called "jaywalking" in the UK because we can cross the roads on our own without supervision or... |

| Interesting. I sincerely appreciate your insight, and personal experiences with this. I still find it troubling, but that's me. At any rate, don't mind my condescending tone with the previous post. You responded to my post in such a manner that I didn't expect (since you were shooting me down on th... |

| The U.S. gave nuclear knowhow to Britain. Incorrect. British scientists worked on the Manhattan project and the UK detonated its own atom and hydrogen bombs under it's own steam (the US had cut back support in an attempt to shoe horn the UK into a role as a minor power). Polaris and Trident were so... |

| Interesting. I sincerely appreciate your insight, and personal experiences with this. I still find it troubling, but that's me. The only disturbing things you see from CCTV is the footage you see on TV of a single bloke being beaten up by a gang of drunken thugs on a Friday night or that of a girl ... |

| The BBC prides itself on being 'impartial'. However someone must have forgotten to tell them that they lost that 'impartiality' about 25 years ago. Most of the stuff that comes out of the BBC's mouth is too rubbish to be considered right or left wing. They get stick from all across the political spe... |

| Why? Well let's see... In a nutshell, the north moves into the South, promting the US and UN to move in, pushing them back to the border. They then make the foolish mistake of driving further North until China gets involved, and kicks the shit out of the AU/UN forces, pushing them back. Ultimately,... |

| The problem here though, is that who are we to decide whether N. Korea wants the US to bomb them back to the stone ages - in the name of "freedom". The use of military means in order to bring about regime change or impose our own sense of morality or ideals doesn't make sense. Clearly in ... |

| So basicly, some Liberal in Ontario( whose forefathers were probably 'british loyalists that prefered Britain's concept of big taxes and big government over the USA's ideals of personal liberties - jj/k) writes an article about the US. Instead of writing about the injustices that these countries ar... |

| If you really want to see poor foresight in preparing for tomorrows crisies spare a thought for the average National Serviceman of the British contingent of the Commonwealth division in Korea. Some were wearing 1940 or 1939 pattern battle dress while some were still decked out in 1914 pattern battle... |
