Are we really going to sit by while they destroy the NHS?


Anything else you would like to be not quite correct on? :D
Oh, sorry, I didn't realise we were talking about randoms on Facebook. (Not that i can view the stuff in there so I'll have to take your word for it.)

You do know that random groups on Facebook supporting whatever is kind of up there with 'hundreds of PMs of support', right? 🤣

I just love the way that you have been proven wrong, but still insist you are right. :D

An SNP supporter per chance? That is their view also on:

Ferries
Hospitals
Smelters
Investment Bank
State Power Company
Airports
Loans to defunct turbine company

etc...

What is? That the white race is supreme? I didn’t realise that was what was stopping them giving Orkney RET fares, fucking hell
 
There is a slight fly in the ointment with the views expressed above. Here in the semi-Marxist paradise of Scotland, the NHS (a fully devolved entity) is in just as much a state of utter chaos as in England.
This hasn't been my experience of NHS Scotland; I read threads like this in horror about waiting times, not being able to access GPs, timely hospital treatment and am always thankful I'm up here.
 
So, how do you square that with the views expressed that the Conservatives are deliberately sabotaging the NHS? Are the SNP doing the same?

I said I think it's far from solely Tory or just an under-funding issue, although I under-funding is a part of the problem and one that NHS Scotland hasn't completely escaped either.

Nope. Think you'll find it's 'not proven' given I can't actually see the content of that group. 🤷‍♀️

I find you really funny tbh. A perfectly-judged, comedic character. Bravo sir! :thumbs:
 
What did you mean by ‘damndest to destroy community’ then? I’m confused. Tell me your point again?
Maybe go back and reread my post. There are interest groups and institutions which cross class and sex boundaries and bind society together, and there's been a concerted effort by successive governments to defund and destroy groups and bodies which bind people together. I've mentioned council housing. But there's also education, which is now so much to the test. There were various services formerly widespread eg youth clubs. Playing fields. Libraries have been a favourite target over many years. There's been a change in attitudes which sees competition as better than cooperation. And now as I say the three institutions which attract imo the most support in this country are the armed forces, the monarchy and the NHS. And support for the first and last has increased while those institutions have been cut and cut and cut.

Howden Health Centre is two weeks wait for a telephone consultation at the moment. (And that's after the 97 calls to get through in the first place.)

I don't doubt though, that other places are in a better position. Livingston has doubled in size pretty much, in thirty years, GP services haven't changed. It was getting tough for appointments pre-pandemic. I have a friend who lives down in the Borders who can still get a 'same day' appointment.

You’re making the same point I did but with examples 👍🏻
 
This is worth a read:


That is a little bit ‘fake news’ given the exact same story was circulated a number of years ago, pre-pandemic, so the reference to masks in the preamble is putting it a bit out of context. It was a pre-election visit which fits with the text. Not that I doubt the account at all.
 
If you want to use the NHS in England then your vote should be compulsorily attached to an approved socialist party by default. That would sort the wheat from the chaff - see how many Tory voters are left after that!
 
Ah, the Bob Gill who declared Baba-Garba having her striking off overturned as ‘a victory for the Nhs’.

All round charming bloke

 
I did not know this but seriously? Is that all you are going to bring to the thread? It does not make him wrong in the tweet that I posted. Try actually posting something relevant to the thread title.

He seems to hate healthcare staff.

Do you even know who jack adcock was?

I don’t think that defending doctors who kill disabled kids (of defending antisemites) is a good strategy for keeping the private sector away from healthcare myself

Bawa-Garba did not kill Jack Adcock. The NHS did. That’s an important distinction.
