Hate is too weak a word for what I feel towards the NHS. I'd tear it down and salt the earth upon which it stood.

What a complete and utter disaster that would be. The man is a complete idiot.

He will have no constructive alternative to offer, just some waffle about immigrants and spongers.

I am sure he has some buddy just waiting to sell private insurance for a premium to those that can afford it - everyone else? Thoughts & prayers, I guess.

Yes they do. Privatization, probably selling it to US health firms. The rich will think that is great.

[-] baggins@beehaw.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

As I said, no constructive plan.

So does Farage, he just doesn't say it out loud

[-] jabjoe@feddit.uk 6 points 2 weeks ago

He has said it out loud in the past, but he just couldn't make the view not drive away people, so he's quiet about it for now.

That makes sense. The NHS got kinda bloated after brexit. I heard they started taking in 350mio more per week, and still no improvements

Oh yeah, I remember when they started building a new hospital every week. It was just too many hospitals!

Lex Luther was a genius. He might be a villain, but he wasn't dumb.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
