A young doctor friend of mine said that the starving of the NHS is a deliberate policy to enable privatization
He worked in the very ward where Boris Johnson was in hospital with Covid
Disgraceful betrayal of the very best in our society

@GreenPartyMolly This is the thin end of the wedge. Private hospitals are, by definition, parasitic. Relying on the NHS to train their staff, public funds to boost their income, and a Government which understands the level of public support for the NHS and therefore practices privatisation by stealth. Rather than subsidise private hospitals, we should nationalise them...
@GreenPartyMolly Quite a few people have been saying this since Thatcher. The typical modus operandi of the Conservatives is to deliberately starve a service and then claim it is not working, and that only private services can do the job. The public keeps falling for it.
