2014 TedX talk on the Privatisation of the NHS

[The Baker]

I did not post this in the Red Bus Thread because it would get lost amongst the dross.

The following 18 minute talk makes for depressing listening.

Here we are in 2019 and know first hand just what the Government are quietly doing.

Farage has wanted to privatise the NHS and Brexiteers will have voted for him.

The Torys have always wanted to privatise it, the 2012 reforms were horrendous. They really are an evil bunch.

 

[The Baker]

If enough of the British voters were to send a hand write letter to Mr Farage explaining just how important the NHS is to them and their loved ones,

and point out that although they sympathise with his cause they not voted for the Brexit Party because there is doubt as to what his lot are planning for the NHS.

However, if he could assure you that his intention is to row back the creeping privatisation by this and previous Governments, you will pledge your vote to his Party.

The only legitimate power the electorate wield is their vote.

Nigel Farage: “We’ve already sold off our water, gas and other public utilities, so we might as well sell off the NHS too”

Farage has mentioned privatising the NHS numerous times, he isn't going to change his spots now.

Farage is a single issue politician, people who normally wouldn't touch him with a barge pole support him.
Arch Socialist George Galloway begged Farage to let him stand for the Brexit party in the EU elections but Farage turned him down.
You have people from diametrically opposed political traditions both wanting Brexit but for different reasons ,if Brexit is achieved to the satisfaction of the Brexiteers then the coalition between left and right brexit supporters will fall apart.

 

[SirGalahad]

Lets be clear, anyone who wants the US to get their hands on the NHS are essentially advocates for this.

9/11 First responders are denied healthcare and benefits. So many on this forum push for tough regime when it comes to welfare benefits and healthcare provision because they don't think they they will ever be in the situation of losing their jobs or getting ill and not being able to work.

This is from today.

 

[SirGalahad]

Many will disagree on Brexit but way more will agree on keeping the NHS from being further privatised and rolling back the current privatisation that has taken place. This is not being anti free market but there are some industries and strategic areas that should not be left to the vagaries of the free market.

Its shocking.

What is really shocking is the realisation that there are too many parallels here in the UK: Grenfell, Windrush, ex soldiers homeless, PIP...........

Jon Stewart: top man

Why isnt there somebody of his calibre running for PM. Weve got the morally corrupt Boris.
