and if people think I'm talking crap, just look around your local area and see the separate 'communities' that have sprung up, each with a wary and suspicious eye on each other.

No I'm not racist, I'm realist :p:

Quite right.

The multicultural idea only works where there is a low number of people in those other cultures. The low numbers force them to mingle a lot more. It's when the numbers increase it becomes viable to separate and close off and have their own community centres etc. The "community" becomes one defined by race/religion, rather than simply people living in a particular area. Just look at the number of race/religion specific "communty" centres that are around you. It's gone from having centres for people living in area X, to ones of people of race/religion Y. How is not racist by having those race/religion specific centres?

I just said I'm not racist, I've got no idea how they think . . but if people isolate themselves there's probably a reason for it

The Conservatives say they will deliver 6,000 more GPs in England by 2024-25 to increase appointments for patients, if they win the election.

They claim they will reach that target by training 3,000 new GPs and finding another 3,000 through international recruitment and better retention.

However, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said a previous Tory pledge to recruit 5,000 GPs by 2020 had not been met.

What do I need to do to become a general practitioner?

You can get into this job through a university course.

You'll need to complete:

a 5-year degree in medicine, recognised by the General Medical Council
a 2-year foundation course of general training
a 3-year specialist training course in general practice
If you already have a degree in a science subject (minimum upper second), you could take an accelerated 4-year graduate entry programme.

You may be able to join a 6-year degree course in medicine if you have no science qualifications. This includes a one-year pre-medical or foundation year.
3,000 more trained GPs in 5 years, but it takes either 9, 10, or 11 years to be a fully trained GP (depending which route you take - either a 4/5/6 year medical degree, then 5 more years of specialist training).

Update - just realised that in fact they would need to be trained in 4 years, as the next intake will be in September 2020 for the 20/21 Academic year.

It’s almost as if they’re making it up.

Jeremy Corbyn's dirty dozen: The 12 would-be Labour MPs who have ALL been mired in controversy in just 24 hours - from calling a Jewish councillor a 'Shylock' to threatening to 'put a gun to Theresa May's head'

It makes interesting reading.

Just to prove how much the Conservatives hate the poor, first we have Jacob "Too Clever to Die in a Fire" Rees-Mogg now the flooding in Yorkshire "isn't a national emergency" according to the Prime Minister.

Charming really.

I'm sorry to say that you're getting to be rather annoying with you half-truths.

By all means call JRM "insensitive" or "detached from reality" but to ascribe to him and every Conservative (including me) as "hating the poor" is going too far.

On your second point, is Yorkshire national or local/regional? You're seriously bending your credibility. A pity because I sometimes enjoy your writings.

We both know “national emergency” relates to the movement or utilisation of Government resources to respond to an event. The National is the level of the response, not the geography affected. With serious risk to life and property across English regions, I’m not sure we should hold back mobilising until it reaches the South East.

I’m sure flooding in the South East would be classified as a “national emergency”.

"Regional civil emergency" would be the correct term.

By jumping it up to "National Emergency" and then deriding the PM for this distinction you become less credible. I am disappointed.

I'm not even certain Boris considers the event that serious. A bit of rain outside the M25.
