You say "...and what they are doing wrong is borderline murder."

I don't understand. Who is murdering who?

i hate ALL of those people, couldnt run a piss up in a brewery!!!!

Admire the answers that Gordon Brown gave there, and am happy witht he rigourous action that has been taken. Labour got us through this recession well enough-take into consideration this recession happened even when interest rates and inflation were both low. I've no complaint on any of their actions on the major issues of the last 2 years.

'Earn your own living '-

I keep forgetting, America invented the free market when all the rest of us were living in the dark ages. I must have skipped that part of history. Did it happen before Einstein and Curie and Benz and Brunel and the silk road and the pyramids?

[TheElasticJesus]

Before the war we were just like you. The poor got fuck all The rich got everything And then it was decided that for services rendered during WW2 the working class were worth something afterall - since it was primarily they - and not the rich - who had just been dying for the past 6 years. It was put to a democratic vote. Tory NO NHS Labour YES NHS Labour won by a landslide Democracy won by a landslide THERE WAS NO FORCING JUST RICH BOYS SULKING

[weatherallc05]

are u serious. did the tories reli say no NHS?!! is he on a fucking suicide mission! daft cunt

[TheElasticJesus]

The NHS was founded in 1948 under the Labour government of Clement Atlee.

It's true what they say about the youth of today being more interested in Warcraft.

God help us all.

[weatherallc05]

@TheElasticJesus conservatives are the rich lovers, to be unbiased. if there was no NHS,what would there be? and also i do realise that the NHS is falling right now, and what they are doing wrong is borderline murder.

@Mackinster

Yet again the great Christian illusion that is spoiled America.

Heres how it works. Management cracked the whip & once again saving money was found to be more important than saving lives. That is capitalism at its worst NOT socialism.

The reason u do-good Jesus-loving Yanks hate the NHS is because you resent having to GIVE to help others less fortunate than tyourselves.

Ive used the NHS all my life and it is wonderful. The benchmark and envy of the freeworld.

[GovPark]

I love how you put it. You mean "FORCED" to helping others and not "GIVE"?

I don't mind helping VOLUNTARILY someone that is worthy but not just anybody. If someone smokes or shags anything that moves and gets sick... I don't want to help them.

More medical technology and medicinal advancements have come from CAPITALISM and not SOCIALISM.

You Europeans think Government is Santa Clause with unlimited resources. STOP mooching off of people and earn your own living.

[xaviqaz]

The Netherlands and Switzerland have no public option for adults. Still Europe still universal coverage

[Mackingster]

Ya and our political class here in the US want to impose this type of system. What a great example on why we should not have it in any country.

[Gothichell]

Hell lets privatize everything if you makes you feel better.

[Mackingster]

At least if its private I have a choice. It the government controls every thing. I have no choice. Government is just a legal monopoly. If a private hospital does badly. I have the option of going to anther one. If the government runs it, were could I go?

People would complain when they see Microsoft as a monopoly. They don't do it when it is a government ran monopoly.
