Nhs Privatisation
Just heard on the news that Ms Sturgeon has promised to bring a bill into the new parliament to prevent the NHS being privatised. Why should this bother Scotland as if Ms Sturgeon has her way Scotland will vote to leave the the UK and will therefore not be part of the NHS.

once they have , chortle chortle , their "independence" lets see where the money comes from for its own "NHS"....and if the eussr is that desperate to take them on board and remove the independence it so greatly yearned for from us and foists its own brand of slav... sorry independence on them it wont be so liberal with its handouts once we stop being extorted....
As already said her plan would be difficult because large parts of the NHS are already in private hands of contractors.
And TBH with regulation I don’t have too big a problem with privatisation per say. But it would be difficult for the government to control so who knows.
However she and Corbyn are just using the threat of NHS privatisation as a stick. Bit shouty words plastered all over the place... look at that nasty Trump is going to get his hand on our NHS. The US drug companies will charge us the Earth. And any number of other scares. Some may be true and some not. But if you are the sort to believe all the scare stories then this is no different to all the others we’ve ever heard let alone for the past three years.

More scaremongering. I watched Andrew Neil grilling a member of the shadow cabinet the other night, Labour’s claim apparently that if the Tories win the election all drugs purchased by the NHS will be at US prices. Neil asked him several times why the cost of the 90% we buy from elsewhere should increase to equal the 10% we buy from the US. Surprise, surprise, he couldn’t answer. Who’d a thunk it?!!

She might struggle since. Parliament has just been dissolved and she was not a Member anyway and as far as I am aware has no intention of standing to become one next month.

If anybody takes any credence in what Sturgeon says about the NHS or Corbyn, then they are certifiable dribbling idiots.
The UK tax payer funded NHS will NEVER be privatised, and scare stories spread by fools like Sturgeon and Corbyn are just that - scare stories.
The trouble is, of course, the hard of thinking will believe the bilge these two morons spout. I know it's astonishing, but some cretins really will believe it.
