    It isn’t true.
    It isn’t true.
    In the last year there has been a significant change in the relative price of diesel. This solely due to shift in the supply / demand equation for diesel. Europe is structurally in deficit of diesel but long gasoline. This gap in supply has been filled with imported Russian diesel. Since the Ukraine war started the market has shunned Russian diesel causing a marked shift in diesel prices.

    I am not against a conversation against about changing the system.   Whatever system we have we will need to invest in and pay for.

    I don’t believe the German system woulf be as good with UK spending per capita. 

    It is dishonest to say that nothing could be imrpoved with within the NHS model or that other models wouldn’t work.  It is also dishonest to say that spending less than other comparable countries will deliver their health care outcomes if we adopt their model.

    Maybe not, but I don’t think you can ignore it.

    From this thread it would appear that our Trump, Johnson and Brexit loving PBU has disappeared again for thinly veiled racist comments

    Are there any?

    Not that I support the harassing of the OP who makes contributions on cycling matters far more than politics.
