What a bunch of fools are those who heap scorn on the NHS.
Tory MEP Hannan especially.
The Tories have always tried to destroy it through under-funding, and Labour are now too timid to raise taxes to pay for it properly, so a wonderful idea has been bodged up… by politicians.
Those of us who have had cause to use it will admit that there are some minor faults caused by under-funding and an over-dependence on immigrant labour to staff it (the fault of our own morally bankrupt society, and poor educational standards in schools where every child wants to be a pop star, overpaid footballer or hairdresser rather than a nurse or doctor…).
But when it comes to saving lives – for that is what the NHS does, every minute of every day of every year – our National Health Service is a shining gem in the flawed setting we call modern Britain.
The Citizen has reason to be grateful for the wonderful care provided by the NHS and its poorly-treated staff.
The British taxpayer has paid for the NHS over many years and now we’re in danger of letting every idle immigrant, asylum-seeker and freeloader milk it dry at our expense. Sit in the waiting room of an NHS doctor’s surgery or hospital and you’ll see the flock of foreigners queueing up to have their free medical care, operations and drugs… at our expense.
Don’t let these fools and redneck American Republicans (Sarah Palin, for one…) criticise a British institution that most countries would dearly love to have as their own.
