So in step the unelected coalition - the government nobody voted for, or wanted. Shorn up by votes/seats from his willing lapdog and political mutt, Clegg, the Cameron-dominated Tory-hybrid parliament occupiers have endeavoured ever since the country couldn't decide, to push on with a continuation of quasi-Thatcherism. They don't call it that of course - not even Cameron and Greasy George are that stupid - reallly! Thatcherism's one brand that has no credibility anywhere, anymore.
However her slash n save policies are still at the core of any market philosophy our new millionaire rulers might have. Thus cutting all public spending is the only lever of austerity they still possess. Cut education, cut defence, sell off everything you possibly can. Keep people thick and undefended - that's okay.
What's not okay is cutting health spending - so league tables, cutting costs, opening up "competitive markets" by turning the public health services into private, quasi-funded, hybrid companies.
So while developed nations such as the USA try to stop dumping unwell people into taxis because they don't have the necessary insurance coverage to received healthcare, Cameron's Britain takes a much un-needed trip the other way: people left to die in corridors, etc.
My own father was recently left alone at 3am in a hospital bathroom by some student nurse fuckwit, shouting for help, whilst being ignored. She was "trained" following a formal complaint. She's lucky I didn't get hold of her first.
So, after turning the best, national health service in the world into some quasi-privatised, bastard Tory-child, the Conservatives have come up with another, equally-stunning strategy. If you've sold off everything you've got, then why not franchise overseas?
Fantastic. So now, "NHS" will be emblazoned over buildings, people and processes everywhere! What a refreshing idea!
I just got my eyes lazered at "NHS Dubai"! My life's now in HD - and the rest beaches are fantastic!
What do you think about it, if anything?

It doesn't matter who we vote for. The millionaires are only interested in their own nest building. They care nothing for the people. The NHS is one more sad symptom of the parliamentary failure to do what is right. Until we can vote for people who prize what is right and just above their own petty dogmas, and useless outdated policies, life will never improve in this country.
