(not satire – it’s the UK today!)
There has been a concerted campaign in the mainstream press over the last few years to smear the NHS.
Here’s a recent example:
Daily Telegraph uses death of baby and outright lies to smear NHS
This is all part of the government’s misinformation campaign to discredit the NHS so it can turn over as much of it as possible to private healthcare companies.
Which is why you probably won’t have seen much in the mainstream press of a recent international survey which has ranked the UK’s NHS number 1 in the world for healthcare – above countries like Sweden, Switzerland, Germany and Norway:
But there’s another shocking recent survey you probably won’t have heard much about either.
The latest NHS staff survey shows over 70% of NHS workers think there are no longer enough staff to enable them to do their jobs properly:

Care to compare survivability rates for chronic illnesses? The UK is way down on that list. Cancer survivability, for example, is much much higher in the US than it is in the UK. Fear not though my British cousins, Obama has done his level best to help even those odds up by destroying our healthcare with his Statist government-centric takeover of everyone’s healthcare. When the government controls your healthcare they control you! No thank you very much!
And yet your healthcare is so much more expensive.
Indeed. Considering the Left/Labour/BBC axis consider the NHS dead dead dead in the hands of the evil toreez – it would appear to not be so, and with a splash of irony it would seem the poster doesn’t exactly grasp that concept either. If I’m wrong then maybe he should ask why the BBC isn’t exactly shouting this from the rafters, after all Saint Danny had dancing Nurses but no dancing dead at the olympics and that was sooo wonderful and glorious sayeth the media arm of the Labour Party
What Left/Labour/BBC axis is this? The BBC is right-wing.
