Just got sent this off a mate - last chances to save the NHS



Even Conservative MP and GP Dr Sarah Wollaston described planned NHS reforms as like tossing "a grenade at the NHS", and senior Lib-Dem peer David Owen said NHS reforms are driving the health service into a "train crash". Public protests halted the sale of public woodlands UK-wide, and in Scotland and Wales the Educational Maintenance Allowance has been saved and tuition fees have been halted, but private corporations still stand to make millions from NHS privatisation. The British Medical Association voted to oppose the changes and 99% of nurses voted "No Confidence" in NHS reforms. This is our last chance to save the NHS. There is no guarantee protests will work, but the way to guarantee protests won't work is not to get involved...

The devil is in the detail....

....Andrew Lansley's favourite quote as he tries to tell us we just haven't understood his "vision".

We do understand and we don't like it.

This article in the BMJ shows exactly where pretty much full scale privatisation is hidden in the detail of the bill.

you are a bunch of fucking assholes. I agree with your right to protest but you are complete fucking cunts for invoking that right. You have interfered with common citizen's trying to get home after a day's work. Fuck you and I hope you get cancer.
