That was a sickening display was it not? Nulabour never had any class anyway.

The thing with the NHS is that it isn't 'free', well it is at the point of access, but we pay for it in taxation. Everyone contributes a little bit, so when they need treatment, then it's there. (I know u know this Oberon

I wonder how many people who feel that 'paying for someone else's medical care is wrong' are happy to give money to charity to feed starving africans, or displaced people who have experienced some natural disaster or whatever?
I don't really see the difference - surely given the choice of the latter, then the argument against the former is moot as it amounts to the same thing - giving your money to help someone else.
