Is the NHS working? My daughter went in with acute abdominal pain of unexplained origin last night.
All ambulances tied up outside. A&E packed.
Staff stressed but ultimately making excuses for the 2-3 day wait that the numbers suggested it might be to see someone.
No doctor ever came. Had to come home. Daughter may or may not be OK.
It's not that it *could* be you, with something more serious. It's that, sooner or later, it *will* be you.
Do something positive. Vote the #toriesout
The problem is who to vote for!
The Labour party under Starmer are resolutely pro Brexit (don't ask me why!) and have absolutely ruled out rejoining the EU or even restoring freedom of movement which is about the only thing that could possibly help the NHS along with farmers and many other industries that used to rely on EU workers!
Starmer's going to destroy the country completely just to appease a few bigoted fuckwits in the red-wall constituencies - the man's a fückin moron!
@JanPV @Paulos_the_fog whilst… yes… Labour would still be better. A tiny percent better is still better.
@Wifiwits Yes, I get it. The worry is that Starmer has too much to cope with in undoing the Tories' damage, and that he is anyway more incline to the right than the left. I think the post-Starmer period may well be uglier than we've seen over the past few years.
@JanPV it really is such a terrible mess isn’t it.
@Wifiwits It is. I often think its the last spluttering moments of the post-WW2 settlement that stopped working a long time ago. The problem is that the solution is seen to be lurching to the right, which will only harm the population even more. Probably much more.
@Paulos_the_fog I regrettably have to agree. In Wales, we do have Plaid Cymru. But I guess in England, you have Lib Dems and in Scotland, the SNP.
Even if Starmer tries to fix things, he seems to be approaching it from a very strange angle, is accepting big business interest cash and will almost certainly fail to make any real change. This will open the door to a revitalised, eye-swivelling Tory party recapturing the country later on.
