| The caring NHS? |
The NHS is no different to any other industry, it has good points and bad.
The NHS is no different to the bailed out banks, our tax cash pays for it.
The NHS is no different to insurance companies, if I crash my car, or my house floods, repairs are 'free at the point of delivery'.
So why oh why when needless deaths in the NHS are exposed do the zombies, like their comrades in North Korea, start screaming about how wonderful the NHS is and how it must be defended?
To me nationalised healthcare means politicians are in charge. To me politicians are stinking hypocrites out for numero uno. Why then, do people who spend 12 hours a day attacking politicians spend the other 12 drooling about the NHS? I can only think , unlike millions of us, that they haven't experienced the appalling service provided by so many hospitals.
Oh, and for the seriously NHS brainwashed please stop getting paranoid about the Tories privatising the NHS, it's terribly tedious. Cameron hasn't got the balls.

A great question - so many people state a well-founded mistrust of the political class, but then support measures that mean increasing its power, be it increasing the size of the state through higher taxes, curtailing individual liberty or the hysterical level of support for re-introducing the death penalty.
Too many people cling onto the misplaced notion that one day, an honest politiician will emerge and be able to handle all of that power without abusing it. The only rational conclusion is that such a politician does not, and will never exist, as it is an inherantly dirty game.
That's why checks and balances on the state, its size and activity, will always be necessary.
