What do you think the recent events have been about?
The "summer of discontent" is entirely about the strain of foreigners. The stabbings were a catalyst for the built up woes of that strain. I think the debate on private vs public healthcare doesn't belong on here, but discussions regarding the strain on public services by foreigners absolutely does.
I appreciate the relative politeness in this thread given my brusque demeanour. I apologise for that. To iterate, I was born in Fleet and don't live in the UK anymore as of my early 30s. This is also the last post I want to make in this thread
If you didn't have a public healthcare service, they absolutely would not have arrived on your shores in droves. This is the thing about dealing with large numbers of people or strategies. You can be as proud of your class as you want but the unequivocal fact is that a classist in a place of high station conceiving of the least effective policy will only be as good as any fool because the universe is indifferent to your status and wants an answer of 4 when it's asking what 2+2 is
If you understand how to run a business or lead an army you differentiate between tactics, strategies, objectives and goals
For a strategy involving lots of large numbers of people you do not want an obstructive melange of exceptions made to accommodate different groups and which require scrupulously involved budgeting practices that contort in lockstep with your ever changing economic demands. See: how the NHS is adapting to the 'changes' in population. The UK government have awful strategies and obsessively use
tactics, which can only really deal with small scale situations or problem solve minute hurdles for the hopefully elegant system you'd be using if you were governing better.
Now, tactics. See: Keir's handling of this, the psy op mill, the constant deflection and blame games. - Are rigid and slimy methodologies that rarely assist in isolation unless they're the last refuge of a person hoping to survive an antagonistic engagement. And an antagonistic relationship is exactly what they have with you.
A private system is
simple. Everyone gets it. It is immediately dissuasive to the ire of individual you're obviously not interested in visiting from abroad. The fact of the matter is that all of the speculation on this matter is cope, because public healthcare was from the get go one of three or four decisive blunders leading to me skibidy toileting on a flight and hightailing it out of there.
If we were to amend and change something that works great, which either way is amenable to regulation with greater manoeuvrability and finesse than the cancer lottery you have now, then you better have a great alternative in mind. And, were we to say that a public healthcare system is this alternative, you better have something akin to a 20-50% performance increase for all the hassle and constant middle management a freakshow like the NHS entails
The reason you want government involved in as little as possible is that competition breeds innovation. The government's competition is who?
I think you mentioned being part of UKIP at some point. If anyone who has or contracts any sway with our administration was to ever peruse this shitpost I ask (in vain I am sure) that they study enough about economics to become aware of the parallels between the pyramid on a socialist society's ideal birth graph and why they call pyramid schemes what they are. It requires infinite growth which then fosters the need to import if our birthrates aren't up to slop with it
To the fucking janny, to dismiss out of hand that these things are intercorrelated is to bely a lack of experience with having an infection in 2020 and hearing 'ur thru to vale road health center please press 9 to continue or consider visiting our website for our e-consult website at double u double double u dot fsdjfdssdfu skibidy jewblox btw our email'
It's a special kind of hell where there's no oblique disembodiment between institutions like you might be more used to in the US and everything has a massive knock on effect that makes itself clear with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer when you need A&E help, which grenade lobbing my e-commerce bux wasn't able to acquire.
