He's calling for those who can afford it to use private leaving the NHS free to treat those who can't afford private. If I had the money I'd go private every time.
So would I, I would also pay for Dr's appointments, as the Swedes do.
Their prescription charges are about a third of ours though....swings and roundabouts.
Exactly and likewise, if I could afford it, I would go private.

My wife's gone private a few times even had a small op privately but... It's the NHS doctors that are doing private practice so when she was having consultations and a small op the NHS was missing a couple of their doctors...

Yeah I think Mirage expects no more... it's a beginning for them and a huge one.
I'm not wasting.my vote, I want Reform.to win, I know that wont, but at least I'm doing something.
I know they say a vote for Reform is a vote for Labour but I have to stay true to myself and vote for who I would like to see in charge. So it's Reform for me!
Their candidate who defected yesterday said it was full of racists and bigots, does that put you off a bit?
If I took any notice of the things that are said about all the parties, I wouldn't vote for any of them.

Labour government under Starmer... boat problem solved.
A million a year of them will be shipped in legally and his aim is more from Saudi Arabia... the most extreme place.
8 year olds taught about soap and anal sex.
Against the law... the new laws coming in to talk about trans outside of what you'll be allowed to say.
Not that long ago politicians used to fight for the people especially Labour ones but it doesn't seem to work like that anymore.
We want a forty hour week... we'll fight for it.
We want decent working conditions... we'll fight for it.
We want a safety net for when we're sick old unemployed... we'll fight for it. Now...
We don't want 20 mph... tough you're getting it.
We don't want our toddlers teaching about sex... tough we do.
We don't want mass immigration from the middle east... tough we do.
We don't want well that's what you're getting so back to work and shut up!

Our new Government...
Probably do better than the present lot...
The Scottish Labour called yesterday, seemed nice enough.
I'm in a quandary because only a vote for them in my constituency is a realistic hope of getting rid of the SNP.
It's all here.
I'm reading my paper then going to vote.
The SNP candidate in my areas 'jaicket is oan a shaky nail' as we say...
Only a 5,084 majority, let's git him tae fuck.
I voted Reform
Unsurprising!
Oh glad you agree
If I took any notice of the things that are said about all the parties, I wouldn't vote for any of them.
I've got a new MP!!
Get it up ye!!
Ten seats it's being said the SNP will have at the end of the count.
Two years until the Holyrood elections...
Tick Tock
Penny Mordaunt has just lost her seat to Labour.
