The TFF will try and get a few bus loads from Cornwall to go up and use it lambie, they are going to need to using your logic as they won't have a hospital even it they do need to go to one.  It's not on to be closing hospitals without putting in place adequate replacements I agree, but by yours and Chelston's logic nothing 'less important' than hospitals would ever get built! Besides, if the Cornish insist on flogging us their pasties (there isn't a train station in the capital that isn't befouled by the reeking stench of mass-produced oggies) then they shouldn't be surprised when their hospitals are closed in revenge  Bike track or hospital - mm tough choice. |

Not only do they have to cut by £27,000,000 but they have a £37,000,000 loan to repay because they are financially incompetent. These things don't happen by accident. Decades of financial mismanagement, whoever was in government |

I don’t think that’s a very unfair or even accurate thing to say Lambie. Life is all about getting ones priorities right and if you had to choose between keeping open a much needed hospital, or building a cycle race track, there should only be one winner. The possible closer of a Cornish hospital can‘t really be put up against the cycle track that has now been completed for the Olympics’ that track is just something that is a requirement for the Olympics. I suppose the real question is can we really afford in the first place to even be holding the Olympics in this country. I don’t know just what spin off the games will produce, but just who will benefit from its legacy? A slum area of London has been cleared, West Ham will get a new stadium, many people will get new homes in London. People in and around London will have wonderful sporting venues to enjoy for years to come. That won’t mean very much to the Cornish man who has just had a heart attack, or the pregnant lady as they sit in the back of an ambulance on a sixty mile journey to the nearest hospital hoping they will get there in time will it? I’m afraid it has nothing do with nothing else getting built just because important hospitals should be, but when real hardships will happen and lives will be put at risk due to there not being a hospital close by, then people will ask just how important is a new cycle track. |

It was a joke Dave. I was just turning around your suggestion that 'by my logic' busloads of oggy-munching invalids should be sent to the London velodrome for workouts. |
