NHS, Free Education, Free Dentistry, Free Eye Care and Free Prescriptions
And the very party he supports has been trying to destroy them ever since with sum measure of success. All but NHS is no longer free but reduced prices under NHS for treatment. Prescriptions are also free for those who are in receipt of Universal Credit employed or unemployed. Interestingly over 60s also have have free prescriptions but I wonder for how long.
FWIW, I’m not particularly a Tory supporter and indeed have applauded some of the achievements you champion. As a child, living in a post-war shit hole East London ghetto, I’d go so far as to say Aneurin Bevan probably saved my life. On more than one occasion. Moreover, I’ve no time for Johnson (for reasons which will differ to yours - those seeming to me to be in the main dogma based) and would be quite happy to see the buffoon go. Although, given the total dearth of political talent at present a good replacement seems problematic. As with Trump though, that doesn’t seem a consideration, and look where it’s led us all.
Lordo. You’re a man perennially in search of an argument. Although, being in the political wilderness, after such a long and spirited campaign in support of Corbyn, I can understand how difficult it must have been for you. If you switch to even the faintest hint of right-of-centre though you’ll find on most forums they’ll be queuing up to have a pop at you.
