    Is it a coincidence that many views on here, stating with conviction, that the public are brainwashed, are themselves seemingly repeating without amendment, the views of GB News and the mainstream right wing press?

    No idea to be honest I don't follow them. Most of what I see is from the TV companies.

    If you're going to try and take the higher ground just point fingers and name names.

    You repeatedly throw this argument into threads. You're not the only one. Do you really believe your smarter than everyone who has a different view to yourself?

    You might not like some people's views but to be so dismissive of them with the constant pigeon holing is tiresome.


    I'll stand by my previous comments and state with conviction, that anyone who believes throwing large pots of money at the NHS will fix it is brainwashed. It's a political football that wins votes. If that get's Labour in power this time so be it. They won't improve it when they do.

    That's proven by the fact that NHS Scotland and in particular, NHS Wales, are run even worse than NHS England.

    People in Wales go over the border it's that bad.

    I agree

    Tell me this, if GB News reports net migration this year is 504000 and the BBC report the same figure is the " right wing" GB News figure incorrect?

    You're bang right about the funding. Increased funding will just inflate the profits of the multitude of private "run for profit" business that infest our health service under the NHS banner. The flow of wealth to the super rich will just increase.

    We can all argue the toss about funding, overcrowding, selfish workers etc. The bottom line is that the problems in this country are almost solely down to the inequality in how the wealth is apportioned. Improperly funded public services, extortionate house prices, extortionate rents, rampant inflation, low wages, 12 years of austerity, food banks, creaking NHS, filthy rivers, inefficient public services etc. etc. There's a massive wealth grab going off and these are all the symptoms. I've no idea how to fix it, but until it's recognised and discussed (which it still largely isn't) then there's no hope of any change.

    Diverting more wealth to the super-rich (which is what's happening) means they just buy up more assets which just inflates the cost of everything else for the rest of us (which is what's happening). It's not rocket science.

    12 years of this sh1t and still nobody calls out this f uc king government. Unbelievable.
