Leaked
phonecall reveals all
The
Tory-run Government has done nothing but dig the NHS deeper and
deeper into the ground over the course of the last seven years, and a
recently leaked meeting between two conservative MP’s confirms the
final nail in the coffin for the Nation’s beloved health service.
Budget
cut upon budget cut has resulted in an almost unrecognizable National
Health Service and, through no fault of the fantastic, dedicated
Nurses and Doctors who work hundreds of unpaid hours just to keep the
doors open, the NHS has been hitting the headlines for all the wrong
reasons recently. Staff across the country are under constant
pressure to cope with both the increase of patients and the decrease
of available beds, which has left them in an impossible predicament.
Back
in 2015 the Conservatives were forced to admit that their pledge to
secure the NHS’s budget was nothing more than a lie, and that
funding had in fact been cut by a whopping 8% (A number which has
increased even more since then). As a regular visitor to my local
hospital (To collect medication), I’ve seen first-hand how these
budget cuts have impacted the system and it makes me disgusted to see
the neglect that the government has had on the issue.
A
source close to one of the major conservative MP’s has confirmed
that Conservatives are planning to increase privatisation to the
point where the NHS is run as a private business. “It’s time
to stop those that are undeserving from taking advantage of our
country’s health services,” the MP said adamantly over a
phone call to an advisor. He blames the “freeloaders” who are
taking advantage of the system and claims that making it a private
entity is the only way to resolve the issue:
We
know there are people who have no intention of ever seeking gainful
employment, and make plans to reap the benefits our country offers
them for their entire lives. Our new changes will weed these people
out and expose them for the parasites they are.
When
asked about the innocents who may suffer inadvertently due to these
new changes (children especially), he said; “Every war has
casualties. It’s not our fault. They’re not what they used to be,
and we need to put an end to the chaos. Privatising the NHS is our
only option.”
With
the Red Cross declaring a humanitarian crisis here in Britain, it’s
utterly shocking certain Conservative politicians think that it’s
acceptable to blame the issues with the NHS on the general public,
instead of admitting that the issues are down to their handling of
the situation. The below graphic perfectly sums up how ridiculous the
current regeime have let it get:
While
it’s still early days for the 2017 election and there is plenty of
time for things to change, current polls have shown Labour narrow the
gap by two points. It’s unlikely that they will overcome the
massive 46%-27% gap between them and the Tories, but every slight
increase makes a coalition government more likely.
As
I’m sure you are aware, Labour has a completely different viewpoint
on the matter than the Conservatives do, and they’re making it one
of their main campaign points. They’ve pledged to increase pay and
cut tuition fees for trainee nurses, which is a massive step in the
right direction and should hopefully see the NHS restored to its
former glory.
Labour’s
new guarantees for NHS staff will help keep services running at the
standards which England’s patients expect.
