To answer you, I don't have any faith in the current crop of politicians to do anything properly. However, my argument was really that the NHS isn't a black hole (I've heard that before) it can be improved and needs investment. And it did improve under Blair/Brown, at least some parts of it.Comment

Originally posted by Whorty View PostYou mean like the Tories/Brexit Party have been doing with the EU?
Likewise though, the only 'statesman-like' leader in british politics at the moment is wee Jimmy. You might not like her policies, but she at least acts like a credible leader.
It's easy to sit there and attribute all your failings to Westminister. Scotland is in a poor state right now and she is their leader.Comment

Originally posted by vwdan View PostWe also have fewer beds than any time in the last 20 or 30 years, which also seems to be quite a key point.
Originally posted by woohoo View PostI think we all know the NHS is a in a bit of mess, I wish the labour party was credible alternative but I'm not voting for Corbyn. Anyway I can't vote because my MP is the new speaker.
The big issue with the country at the moment is that it’s the current crop of Conservatives, the ones that have been running the country for the past few years, that have royally ****ed it up for nearly everyone in the country.
A vote for the current tulipshow in blue rosettes is a vote to continue this:

Bed blocking is endemic, many in the cancer ward were palliative care only so really needed to go to a hospice to watch the roses grow until they passed on. A situation that would have made everyone happier seeing their loved ones enjoy living not waiting to die. Instead they lay in a bed wasting away.
Plenty on other wards were too old to care for themselves but there were no care home spaces free.
Every time anything changes it takes them a week to respond or do tests.
The reason so many workers are foreign born is because we are too cheap to train our own so we steal other countries Doctors & Nurses.
8 million more people in the UK since 1997 have you seen 3-4 million more houses or 7 more hospitals the size of St Georges or 800 new GP surgeries??
The big problem is the extra population was neither discussed with the current population or planned for by the government. If you want to defend that then go ahead & try!Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
