    They’ve been hollowing it out and privatising it for years. It doesn’t work on the railway which is why we’re looking at nationalising failing services, but for some reason when it comes to the NHS, the answer is more privatisation? If you privatise, it doesn’t matter how much funding is thrown in because there are always people skimming off the top.

    IMO all private interests need to be kicked the fuck out, and their businesses nationalised. Forcefully if required.

      Yuh I wasn’t saying more privatisation, I was saying how in some ways there’s already so much privatisation.

    FYI the NHS offer you a free flu jab if you’re over a certain age or if you have health issues, but everyone else has to pay about £30 which is not ideal but could be worse. I reckon most people don’t even know they can get a private flu jab.

      Also depends where you go. We paid £13 at Asda. Pays to shop around.
