      Should make Farage have to try and flee a war zone next, see if that changes his views on immigration.

      I mean ok. I would say that just because they did their job when you needed them to be time doesn’t make them immune to criticism. I said something much similar to him the other day. The NHS does need a massive rethink. They are also sometimes very good in an emergency. It’s not black and white.

      Boomer conservatives capable of realising they’re wrong only when their idiocy affects them personally.

      No reneging allowed, he should pay out of his own pocket.

      I’m not going to say the usual “_typical Tory only realising something when it happens to them_” kind of thing, because Clarkson’s political views are actually quite refreshing.

      You can’t place him in a camp.

      Christ all sense of nuance is lost now isn’t it? 

      Yes, Jeremy Clarkson is a twat. 

      However, he can be right that there are critical structural issues within the NHS yet recognise that the staff that treated him were excellent.

      How did that title get past the editor? Very weird use of “reneges”.

      The problem with the NHS is that it is both a place full of brilliant people who give you the care you need and an infuriatingly bureaucratic system of shoulder shrugging gatekeepers determined to minimise your symptoms and frustrate your pathway to getting that treatment.

      My experience is that the clinical care in the NHS is excellent but what they have done to access primary care is an utter disaster that is putting more strain on Acute care centres as a result.

      Because it’s easy to rag on something you never needed to use until you do, he just likes to moan

      NHS is great on anything urgent.

      It’s the GPs, waitlists, non-life threatening treatments where it falls apart.

      Pretty simple really, the essential stuff has remained essential, everything else left to rot.

      >The presenter who called service ‘a creacking monster, says he’s ‘eternally grateful’ to medics who aided him

      What’s the issue here? The NHS has well known structural problems but we all appreciate the care given by medics when we get it.

    12. The idea that we, as a nation, cant afford the NHS only comes from brain dead people. You need to put just a tiny bit of thought to realise.

      Cutting the NHS doesn’t mean that individually we will save money. People at still need to have the healthcare somehow. It means the government will cover less of our healthcare and we will individually pay vastly more than we currently do for the rest.

      What these cretins are actually asking for is all of us to pay more on healthcare annually. What is the benefit of us all paying more? So that companies can make more money.

      Why should this change anything – shouldn’t he be paying for it?

      To the shock of nobody. Remember Reform are campaigning on ending the NHS.

      Both of what he said is true, the NHS does good at emergency situations, but also the NHS in some areas is also a creaking monster that can sometimes work terribly.
      I’ve dealt with a mix of both nhs and private this last year or so and agree with him on both counts.

    16. Did people actually read the piece ? It referenced a previous piece where he said the country can no longer afford the NHS as it is, and he stood by that central view. And he has a point imo

    17. Willywonka5725 on

      People need to understand that criticism of the NHS, isn’t criticism of the people in it. Also it shouldn’t be immune from criticism. If you asked NHS staff if the system needs reform, I’d bet 90%+ of front line staff would agree.

      Not for the first time iirc?

      The NHS main issues are waiting times and hospital buildings that are at the end of their life.

      It’s issue is not health outcomes or treatment quality.
