It's all your fault too.

Well, your beloved Labour government accelerated the privatisation of the NHS to the extent it's now reached the point where it's irreversible. All you who voted for them are compliant in it right up to your necks.

Untrue

The usual lie. While it is true that the New Labour (Tory Lite) govt followed tory policies like pfi and private contracting, in no way did they leave the full-scale dismantling and privatisation of the NHS inevitable. It is still one of the best value and clinically effective health providers out there.
It is effective, it is affordable, and it is still saveable.

To say otherwise is either defeatist, or just right wing propaganda.
