There’s none so blind as those who don’t want to see.

In 1997, a district nurse came to my house every day to change my dressing. She arrived the day Labour won, and said how relieved she was because the NHS could be saved.
I‘m not exactly enamoured of the PFIs Tony Blair introduced either.

As I have explained previously, devious politicians don’t change things quickly. Step by step, such as telling GP practises, they can only employ Physician Associates instead of qualified GPs, or have their funding withheld does not sit right with me.
I’m under various departments at the hospital, and now feel I’m going to have to question every medical person as to their qualifications.

Remember, the Tories only favour something if it profits them. Follow the money.
Saved? Jeez. Language like that is why we are in the mess we are in, can't have a sensible discussion about what needs to be done to fix the healthcare in this country.

It's still going today (badly run and a mess) but it's still the NHS, still in the same System.

We've got an outdated system, that is badly run (not just by politicians) it needs to be tweaked/reformed, just like most other things in life at some point or another.

Of course the NHS requires reform, that is one thing that sensible, realistic voices from both Labour and the Tories agree on. Wes Streeting and Sir Keir have been banging on about this for some time. The fact that politicians of all parties have been too scared for too long to do anything about it is because the NHS has been worshipped as the holy grail and the BMA is the most powerful trade union in the country.
Wes has vowed to take on ‘vested interests’ to reform the NHS. I wish him luck, he will need it.

Wes Streeting comes over really well, he put a list of things he would like to do as a starting point to changing the NHS, BMA said nah within a day.

Yet here we are with the same system of health care




Those contracts are not privatising how the NHS works, free on the point of treatment/not insurance based.

Which was the original photo I was replying to

Tories have had 14 years to bring this in (plus previous long periods of power) and have had an 80 seat majority for a period of time, if they truly wanted to go down the US model, we would be doing it now.

Labour in this run up have made more noises about much needed reform in the NHS than the Tories, Labour are best set to do so as they will have less people screaming about us following a US model if it's in their hands

Shit deals like you mention is the reason the NHS shouldn't be anywhere near politicians hands.


How much was wasted here on IT and NHS (I'm not suggesting they were dodgy deals) there is no cross party/long term thinking.

What you say here I largely agree with, but I am less confident that there is no interest in removing socialised health care by many Tories, and a good number of their donors. Perhaps Farage is after those donors.

A Spurs fan on a football forum or a district nurse?

I know who I believe.

Putin is a wrongun, people are also misrepresenting Farage.

I'm voting Reform, I cant find anyone who is going to vote Tory, usually it would be about 80% of people i know.

That's a bit out of order calling people thicko's.
It's anyones right to vote for whoever they want too. Because you don't agree with their choice of vote gives you no right to call them thick.
The problem is, Farage is on record as saying he doesn’t want people doing arts degrees. No History or Politics degrees means no teachers of those subjects = no one to challenge him on history & politics.

His whole policy is to create a nation of thickos.

Nige has been a long time lover of Vlad, he's merely representing himself.

Cut energy taxes to boost standards of living, all their immigration policies, tax relief on private medicine as well as private providers boosts capacity and having a hybrid system functions better. energy reform and scrap net Zero, Ban Gender theory and CRT in schools and in brief undo all Blair reforms that have handicapped Government by devolving power to NGOs etc.

You asked politely and that is my briefish response. i will not get dragged by a dozen crazies from page to page posting points in bad faith and scroll bombs.

Who's side you are on?

You can critique NATO policy and the US Military Industrial complex without being a Putin fanboy. Ease up on the binary thinking its not healthy.

who is misrepresenting Farage? he said Russia invading Ukraine is NATO's fault, it's a simple statement from him.
as a confessed Reform voter, do you agree?

Well of course you won’t enter into a discussion or debate. Nobody with your views ever does.

You just post a load of very dubious claims , pass them off as valid opinion and shut down any conversation by calling anyone that dares to ask for detail, crazy.

Even the dumbest political figure at least attempts to defend their claims.

You just shout and run away.
