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.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
