No, future generations will have enough on their plates paying for the banking crisis, the bailouts the Quantitative Easing and the Foreign Aid budget. Not to mention Climate Change and Carbon Free Economy.

Red?

Sorry, must get new glasses.

The little man I was thinking of, goes around waving a blue flag, with gold stars on it.

In a world of his own.

Bless him.

Yes, I think it is what the Chinese call 'living in interesting times'.
Our children and grandchildren, and probably their grandchildren will be paying the interest for all this senseless financial squandering.

And your not even a real socialist, your far too thick

But as a state run monopoly it doesn't work either, it costs too much and is too inefficient and unresponsive to the needs of patients. So, my blinkered socialist friend, if you were the Secretary of State how would you solve the problem that is the NHS?

I wouldn't worry too much.

After you've gained independence, your health service will consist of a woman called Bridie.

With only a bottle of whisky, some plasters, and 20 Woodbine, in the basket on the front of her bike.

Don't forget the little wire brush and the bottle of Dettol

Hell Bob they had 13 years and the only thing they came up with was a load of red tape and Billions wasted on PFI

It is only courteous to give them the time and space to prove that they do not have the answer to the problem either.

There are some who say why be courteous to the left wing, they would not accord you the same courtesy. My answer is, as always, because I was brought up to be a gentleman, the left wing's tragedy is that they do not recognise the concept.

It is not just Cameron and Co, as you put it, who need to be informed though is it? It is the unions and the Labour Party. because as sure as eggs are eggs, come the next election Ed Milli will be crowing about how much more money they would throw at the NHS were they to be elected. So unprincipled are our politicians become, that they will promise the earth to whomever they think might give them the keys to Downing Street.
