Drop the Bill

I’ve been making a concerted effort to keep politics off this blog recently. Its been hard I’ve taken to arguing with people on the yahoo comments pages. Not a healthy hobby for someone of my political beliefs as anyone who has waded into it will know, to quote Obi Wan “You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.” I have to make an exception for this though.

The NHS is under attack. The conservatives won votes by categorically promising that they would not touch the NHS. They have, to some people’s great surprise, not even pretended to honour this promise. They make thin insistence that the dismantling of the NHS and the shifting of public funding to private health firms is for the NHS’ own good. While an organisation named “NHS” may well exist after the changes, it will not be National, will have very little to do with health and most likely will not actually be providing service(s).

I would ask anyone reading this that thinks universal free at the point of use health care is a good idea to sign the petition. I would also ask those that don’t to look closely at their view point.

Thanks

The Kat.
