UK under gordon brown

Post by Cactus »

Personally I think that labour have been in power for to long, brown wasn't even elected! He was chancellor and allowed to take Blair's place. I think that a conservative government would do ENGLAND a world of good. The NHS is basically a apartheid system at the moment, with people from Scotland and Wales getting a much better deal than people from England.

What is NHS? And what is the nature of this «much better deal»?

NHS = National Health Service, funded by taxation and supplied by government-employed doctors and the like. All medical care is provided free at point of delivery except drugs, dental care (yanks don't start! :P ) cosmetic care and some types of eye care.

Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, because they have seperate governing authorities for the health service, get a much better deal because of a simple case of government lottery.

They do not have to pay for perscription drugs, we do (that includes aids/ long term illness sufferers). This is my biggest gripe. :evil:

OK...thanks for the information. As you said, «they have separate governing authorities...» so I would imagine that Northern Ireland, Wales & Scotchland have determined to provide their citizens with more benefits in terms of health care at the expense of other government services.

I saw Gordon Brown on the news today...he's not as telegenic as Tony Blair.

yea and he is making rediculous claims like having "saved the world", when really he has dropped bombs on the economy and wants "blitz spirit" from the people, which is an absurd thing to ask for.

Somehow, I doubt that Prime Minister Brown claims to have saved the world. Anyway, with all the Muslims in England, your nation is beyond saving.

Well it was on prime ministers question time and I am sure I can get a vid of it... Maybe I am mistaken but the "saved the world" bit is true. Here is a nice remix

Yes, I saw that. :)

What I meant was, Gordon Brown did not save the world and he most certianly did not save our economy. ;)
