PMQs: Brown vs Cameron on NHS failures (24Feb10)

Gordon Brown bullsh1ts his way about how things "are being done" about the disgraceful story of an NHS trust allowing patients to die because they were more interested in chasing financial rewards for the hospital. This system is what New Labour set up, so the ones that are directly responsible are New Labour. There's no need to blame the trust, the blame lays with Gordon Brown, and with Tony Blair.

Recorded from BBC's The Daily Politics showing of Prime Ministers Questions, 24 February 2010.

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

I don't understand. Who is murdering who?

[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.

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.

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]

'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

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.
