NHS? Give 'em millions. Why not? 4 Years, 5 Months ago
We the public love them and clap them. Despite the Death Rate from Covid19 in the UK being the worst in the world, Government and Media tell us the NHS is wonderful. Give them lots of money. Why not?

What's amazing is that we aren't up in arms about a 1% pay rise that will cost millions when we have ruined ourselves (for no reason). We have no money.
But politically this shows the Cabinet to be utter morons; if we were in any doubt before.
Could they not see this coming? Or the inevitable u-turn to come. They really have very special needs this lot...

Society prefers to pay footballers and entertainers more than those who look after our bodily needs, when we are incapable of so doing.
It also rewards the talented and industrious - but chooses to allocate low status to those with a role requiring little skill or education.
The same since the stone age - with the successful becoming the powerful, and the influencers. Unlikely that this world order will change now.
Essentially a class system, which prevails everywhere and in everything. Covid vaccination is unlikely to happen anytime soon in Somalia, Tanzania or Eritrea.
