JackFrost Posted 4 May, 2015 Share Posted 4 May, 2015 The year is the reason your point falls down. No promise was broken on that pledge. If you believed Murdoch and co, the moronic British public were swayed by his rag of a newspaper. "Last one out, turn off the lights" followed by "It was the Sun wot won it". 1992 election pledge. Get me an advance on that or concede the point. I haven't even made the point you are wanting me to concede. I know no promises were broken on that pledge. Whilst both Labour and the Tories have encouraged (to an extent) NHS treatment to be outsourced privately that's merely an inevitability due to increased demand. There's no way the NHS is sustainable long term without any private involvement. People bash the Tories for wanting to expand the role of private healthcare when it is going to happen regardless of who is in power. My point about that 'Labour ending the privatisation of the NHS' quote in 1992 is simple. That's how long their scare stories about "privatisation by the back door" have been going. They said it then (before 5 years of Conservative government) and their saying exactly the same thing now. Labour can shout those slogans and wave those banners as hard as they want but after a combined 10 years of Conservative led government since then (1992-1997 & 2010-2015) not only has total privatisation of the NHS not happened (It would be political suicide regardless) but Labour themselves have encouraged private involvement to cope with increased demand. Simply because they have no choice. No one has their fingers in their ears here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge too far Posted 4 May, 2015 Share Posted 4 May, 2015 There's one hell of a difference between the NHS using the spare capacity that the private healthcare sector usually has, probably at an equitable cost, to cope with demand, and farming out clinical services permanently to private providers who then 'give up' when they realise they cannot deliver a service to the public AND a profit for their shareholders.

OldNick Posted 4 May, 2015 Share Posted 4 May, 2015 But men shouldn't? Dinosaur! If you're looking for a disgusting excuse of a human being, try Iain Duncan Smith for starters. For me to point out that how I despise the way he treats woman as a throwaway product should be enough. You may think that he's just a lad and you are happy for women to be used and tossed aside after use. Whilst most of the women know what they are up against it is not a great reflection if his opinions on anything are worth listening to. You will find him a darling because he is in bed with Ed but that is IMO blinding you from his disgusting ways. Typical of modern society CList people being celebs for doing sweet FA.

SuperMikey Posted 4 May, 2015 Share Posted 4 May, 2015 That segregated rally is disgusting, can't endorse that kind of discrimination. Funny that certain people seem to think that "lefties" won't have a problem with it because it's a Labour convention though - not everyone is so blinded by party politics. RE: Russell Brand as well - I doubt he's in the pocket of the Labour party. If you listen to his justification for his support of them it's because Miliband says that he will pay more attention to grassroots activism of which Brand is a big supporter and advocate. I'm sure he'd probably prefer to throw his support behind the Greens (if anyone watched his interview with Natalie Bennett & Caroline Lucas, you'd see he clearly relates to them and he actually told people to vote for Lucas in Brighton) but asking people to vote Labour is a much more realistic way to get rid of the Tories, especially as they would need the support of other MPs in the Commons to pass their bills so they would have to skew a lot of proposals to the left so that the likes of the SNP, Lib Dems, Greens etc will vote for them and pass them.
