I don't think an imaginary god will be doing much for them. It's up to the professionals responsible to solve the problems.
How the hell does it cost 200k a year per patient? Do they each have their own personal doctor with them 25/7?!
People taking the piss don't realise how low the bar is set. People get threatened with a 138 for wanting to spend a night in their own car 🤷🏻♂️ World's gone mad.
Maeve cant stay at home with her dad and carers come and visit?
Remind me again how many illegal immigrants the UK houses.
