The NHS isn’t failing, the previous Government failed the NHS. |

I'm seeing an awful lot of the NHS at the moment. Certainly more than I'd like.
From the minute I walked through the door they've been nothing but superb. |

Totally agree, under-resourced but dedicated people trying their hardest. |

Having experienced the NHS a lot the last 6 months. The service is struggling from lack of money, resources and staff. Can't knock the staff they are pretty much all trying their best in difficult circumstances. Many years of cuts and an aging population, plus difficulties in recruiting and keeping staff, has left the NHS in a perilous state. I had no choice but to go down the private route. |

And effectively making you go private kind of sums up the whole approach to our last incumbent government. Can't make money out of a 'state' industry  |

Plus the last government were ideologically fixed on making it difficult for the NHS to recruit. Lots of the fantastic NHS staff have come from other parts of the world.

Or a humanity enhancing virus from space that will be the eventual saving of the planet.

I’m in a similar position. I can’t praise the care I’m getting from four hospitals I’m currently seeing highly enough. |

How long were you on the waiting list for to " walk through the door " and did they keep you informed Huw many metres you were from the door during that time or even that you were on a list at all ? |

At times unethically recruiting nurses from red listed countries rather than produce our own. |

Isn't this just an example of some of the most wealthy men on earth, who are also involved in space flight, trying to extract more money from us? That Musk and Bezos, from Amazon, fly on behalf of NASA etc, shipping in these spaces viruses seems a sure fire winner. You could have antiviral medication shipped by Amazon Prime, running profits, whilst profiting from journeys to Mars and back. It's probably in conjunction with alien partners, who have licensed special space viruses for use here. |

I wasn't on a waiting list per se.
Struggled to get a Doctors appointment for sure. From then on everything moved real quick, from specialist consultantion and diagnosis to treatment in about 5 weeks.

To be fair, when my back was first recored as "fucked" it took 5 years to get surgery. By then I could barely walk. And due the time it took and the way my surgery was funded, cost 3 times more than it should have done.
My current health condition exactly the opposite. Spot on and excellent. |

The cold and flu variants have laid slain to countless people over the course of history and yet we only have a vaccine for one of those.
Leave this space virus to pulp fiction writers and the odd B-movie witer.
If it were to be probable, wouldn't Arthur C Clark have wrote about it? |

Even worse, the previous government had inherited an NHS made perfect during their predecessors' 13 years of power.

The NHS wasn't perfect when that government took over but it was in a damn sight better state than it is now. The NHS then was probably in the best state it's been for decades. 14 years of austerity has had a terrible toll on the NHS and public services in general. |

I was going to laugh at that. Then, I realised that you probably believe it. That isn't comic, it's tragic.
With half of the electorate barely able to remember Blair, let alone Callaghan and Wilson, it's no wonder that we're about to be ruined by the most dangerous degree of socialism ever to take office here.
Anyway, can't chat - have to join a protest about pensioners' winter fuel benefit... |

Ironically a universal benefit brought in by Tony Blair's government, along with free bus passes for over 60s and free tv licenses for over 75s  plus the minimum wage. |

Yes by Blair introduced at £1000 then 6 years later to £3000 then trebled to £9000 by the conservative government. For the record I am not tony blair's biggest fan but to pretend his government didn't do a lot of good things, especially with regard to the NHS, isn't right. Austerity on the other hand was the real start of the rapid decline of the NHS and public services. A policy that didn't even worm to reduce the national debt. Based as it was on flawed evidence from a report based on a report with an excel spreadsheet mistake. |

Lucky you can still protest. There’s been a lot of moves to try and curtail that by previous governments.
I bet Shirley Bassey, Richard Branson, Paul McCartney and several other wealthy people will personally thank you for fighting to get them an extra few bob next winter.
There’s UK pensioners here in Spain having to get cheaper sun cream or less gin now due to the removal of that “essential” winter help. FFS!
