Starving Society?

The NHS is this country is under assault from the mass hysteria of the media and a misinformed public. Many papers have their front pages splashed with headlines declaring that the NHS is broken, but is it really? And by whom? They will then go on and on about how migrants and foreigners are a burden on the institution, but are they really to blame? All the papers neglect to remind us that the Tories have spent decades de-funding the NHS and have actually caused this "crisis".

People will say that there are more people and less doctors, which is true. But populations will grow regardless of immigration, and the government is meant to plan for this. What we have got instead of  competent people in charge, we have got a bunch of buffoons miss-allocating funds, Maybe instead of funding Trident ( that doesn't work properly!) we give some much needed money to the NHS.

Some hospitals are being used as care homes instead and patients that are ready to be discharged have to prolong their stay because  there is nowhere else for them to go, and instead of kicking them out ( like some countries) our NHS is still about helping people get better....but will it be like that for long?

People have taken it for granted believing it will always be there, but if you take a closer look you'll see, the tories have already chipped away at it by using their latest tool: austerity and by distracting the public by using their fear of the "other".
