W hen did you start taking statins?

That's prolly true, Bob. I'm 67 and have been taking them for 10 years.
Aches and pains is an understatement.



Only a tiny percentage of the population *need* to take statins.

If your cholesterol is a bit raised, then just change your diet. Read the
labels on everything you buy and you will soon see where the saturated
fats are (in all the manufactured food crap). Eat at least one or two tins
of sardines and/or wild salmon every week.

If you are overweight, then do something positive to reduce it. Your LDL
and blood pressure will then correct themselves. Eating oily fish will
boost your HDL.

Once you have passed 70, don't assume that nanny state and other taxpayers
will always be there to provide unlimited 'free' NHS for you. The annual
cost of the NHS is now an eye-watering £115 Billion and rising faster than
money can be garnered in taxation. Since 1948 the NHS has consumed 4% more
*every* year than the previous year. It was created with a massive loan
from the Yanks

Like hell it was.

(someone should tell Ed Milipede
this) and has been funded by DEBT ever since.

All the other government calculations re pensions, debt etc are based on
just 3% annual inflation. See the barclays equity/gilt studies since 1900
for evidence.

QED, the NHS is going to fail,

No it is not. And none of the other equivalents will either.

just like the (Scottish) banks did.

Nothing like the banks in fact.

It's just a matter of time. I predict October 2015.

You'll have egg all over your face very comprehensively indeed.
