    They’ve been hollowing it out and privatising it for years. It doesn’t work on the railway which is why we’re looking at nationalising failing services, but for some reason when it comes to the NHS, the answer is more privatisation? If you privatise, it doesn’t matter how much funding is thrown in because there are always people skimming off the top.

    IMO all private interests need to be kicked the fuck out, and their businesses nationalised. Forcefully if required.

      Yuh I wasn’t saying more privatisation, I was saying how in some ways there’s already so much privatisation.
