“So why is the health service so inefficient? In large part it’s due to the NHS spending balance. Capital spending, the money used for investments long term, is often raided to pay for day-to-day spending needs. In most cases, this is bailing out trusts in debt or hiring more staff. While this is good for headlines, it is not the best way to improve productivity.”

6. From Michael Schiavo, Traffic Court judge, NYS
… on Quora today:
“In George Martin’s memoir, All You Need Is Ears, he said this about his first meeting with The Beatles:
“I remember George Harrison being the most talkative at that first meeting, and Pete Best not saying a word throughout that whole afternoon. But he did have the advantage of being the handsomest of the group. His drumming, on the other hand, was not good. At the end of the test (the audition), I took Brian (Epstein) to one side and said, ‘I don’t know what you’re going to do with the group as such, but this drumming isn’t good enough for what I want. It isn’t regular enough. It doesn’t give the right kind of sound. If we do make a record, I’d much prefer to have my own drummer — which won’t make any difference to you, because no one will know who’s on the record anyway.’ What I didn’t realize at the time was that the group already wanted Pete Best out and Ringo Starr in, and that my remarks were something in the nature of a last straw.”
The accounts I’ve read describe Best as a drummer of very limited skills who had trouble with basic tasks like keeping a steady beat. It sounds to me like the decision to remove Best was the right thing to do.”
In my own lil ole way, I too was dumped as a drummer as essentially lacking sparkle, vision, though as the keeper of the kit, they had to come to my place for rehearsals. I was 14 at that time. In retrospect, they were quite right to drop me. Our repertoire included Wild Thing, Gloria, Little Red Riding Hood, She Loves You Yeah Yeah Yeah, Wooly Bully. We were called The Other Side.

18. A good read from Rolf
“As last week the PM was absent, leaving the Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) to mind the shop.
Sir Keir was rubbing shoulders with other NATO leaders at the Hague. He took this opportunity to advertise the procurement of a dozen American jets adapted to carry nuclear weapons. Under what circumstances would such weapons be launched from an F-35 fighter? Perhaps the Ukraine’s President Zelensky clarified that when he met Starmer in London ahead of the summit.”
