Why has my blood donation never been used in the city I live in?

Not long after we give blood in the UK we get a message of where it was issued

I have always given blood in Sheffield but for example last time it was issued in Manchester (about 90 minutes away) not once has my donation been issued in Sheffield

Logistically why is is the case? I am o- is this not needed in Sheffield at all? No hospital close by needs it?. Especially the fact that Manchester has far more people with donors there it’s not a small town that needs it.

Is it me or did Will Bailey prove nothing with the California 47th election?

It’s established at the time in this world that the 47th is heavily right leaning and democrats don’t stand a chance running in this district.

To prove the fact that every race matters Will heads up a congressional campaign for an old man who has had 3 heart attacks.

Subsequently this man dies and the campaign continues. The campaign receives national media attention not because it’s a “campaign of ideas” but due to the nature of the fact they are still heavily campaigning for a dead candidate and it’s a bit of a joke.

The dems win and we can more or less determine this due to low republican turnout and bad weather. In the special election they run Sam a young well educated man who grew up in that very area and is also a key part in a very popular administration that has just won reelection in a landslide.

Will Bailey decides not to run this campaign at all and leaves it to more prominent DNC people who then half ass it.

But still Sam was young very intelligent and a skilled debater and had a popular president make an appearance for him and got absolutely destroyed by a very right wing openly corrupt congressman who has “challenged other members to fist fights on the house floor”

So in an effort to prove every race matters he has shown that with even quite good candidates with presidential support they can still lose and lose massively. If anything he just proved that they should only focus on races they can win and continue to run sacrificial lambs in republican majority areas.
