I'm amazed they haven't grasped the nettle, maybe not this current one which is too week and preoccupied with Brexit but one like Mrs Thatchers. She was advised to sort out the welfare state but backed off declaring it would be "political suicide" so deeply entrenched is the controlling dependency in our psyche They could do it, however. Look how altering the qualification for sickness benefit miraculously cured nearly a million bad backs virtually overnight. Now those same claimants have developed "mental health" issues which has spawned lots of strange names for conditions and situations that most people just get on with their lives. Also spawned are an army of health workers doing non jobs looking after them.

The worst of the winter flu and noroviruses have come and gone, and despite the dire warnings from the left the crumbling inefficient old NHS coped They need to take a look at the so called bed blocking crisis (stirred up by the politicalised staff) and help themselves for the future. Crisis, what crisis. Our neighbour's mother is dying and the family had her home for her final days. Social care agencies were queuing at their door offering their services, one was given the task but proved to be not appropriate so were sacked and another one brought in. They provide four visits a day by two workers, a cleaner/laundry person once a week, and a one night a week sleep over. No shortage of social care workers here but don't tell Chairman Jeremy or Momentum because it doesn't suit their propaganda. Social care workers were introduced by Mrs Thatcher to enable people to receive care in their own homes where they were much better off rather than one of those awful state run old peoples homes or geriatric hospitals There are two reasons that people overstay in hospital, firstly if a relative needs care it is provided totally free in hospital. Have the patient home and the family have to pay for social care Secondly, the incompetence and inefficiency of the service - especially from the doctors who love the propaganda for their for their political objective, even more pay. In 2014 I was rushed in to hospital with life threatening levels of potassium shown up in my blood test. Further blood test in A&E confirmed the level, admitted to a ward another blood test confirmed the result (why so many?). Put on an intravenous drip for 20 minutes, hour later another blood test showed potassium level normal. Expect to go home but no, kept in for observation Many beds and different wards later, three days later after non stop blood tests which showed all was ok I could go home but only after a doctor had signed me out. It took all day to find a doctor, this in a major hospital and only after I decided to sign myself out which produced an horrific reaction from the conditioned staff did they find one So for three days I occupied beds that someone waiting in A&E needed. These are just a couple of actual examples of how things are from those of us who actually live in the real world and not the dreamy spires of socialisturbia in Islington or Tuscany sipping vino No doubt this will all be denied by those who slavishly follow the socialist dogma but these days I just ignore them, you can only take so much of the nonsense from Chairman Jeremy's little red book and the Momentum hymn sheet Oh, do come off it: you're making up stupid right-wing caricatures: do you seriously imagine that the people who support the NHS are all middle--class Islington types? And this common sense "I know better than everyone else from a couple of examples" is nothing more than blind, deliberate, ignorance: you really do not know better: and stop saying that everyone who disagrees with you is "Conditioned". If you'd been discharged without a doctor's note, and you'd then had a stroke, whose fault would that have been? The bloody NHS, for being rubbish, yes?

Aubrey, the Welfare State is being dismantled before our eyes and the suffering caused by this is monumental. I believe it is a deliberate act of sabotage and the people suffering are the most vulnerable in society. If the strong within society stand back and do nothing/say nothing then one day it could be them! The ones it won't impact on, of course, are those who make money on the back of this e.g. Branson. If you look at the facts re the MPs who will benefit from privatisation of our NHS and the care sector then we can see why they do nothing to stop it happening. The vulnerable in society are being let down and now the children, the future if you like, are being denied a school lunch - it is a scandal that the UK should be ashamed about.
Don't get me started on Mental Health. Our son and his partner both work in the NHS in the Mental Health field - they are under enormous pressure, and I can assure you that as dedicated professionals mental health is one of the most serious conditions in all its various forms and will become more and more acute with cuts to welfare causing a lot of them.

In the US they don't waste money by allowing new mothers to hold their babies for free - No! They charge them $39.35.
