We also need to remind ourselves why the NHS was created in the first place , to provide free at the point of service medical attention to anyone who requires it .
I'm hardly convinced the privatisation of former state owned services and industries have delivered any advantages to their end users , Branson's train service ran efficiently and was profitable until he got his hands on it .
Carrillion went bust leaving hospitals un-built , other train network's significantly increase prices every year , don't even get me started on utilities .
The electorate were sold a scam in the 80's and early 90's and fell for it hook , line and sinker which is why the tories dare not privatise the NHS in quite the same way , if it was so popular and an election winner they'd have rolled it out already wouldn't they ? .
Better to go down the back door route isn't it and as type this negotiations are going on to tie any new governments into 15 year contracts that are very expensive to exit from with potential private investors , I'll leave you to figure out who that is aimed at .
Not for me .
