When are we going to stop worshipping this cult called the NHS?

Why is this country so WEIRD

NHS thanks 10% Tax increase and 1% pay rise.+ Johnson’s English Racist Tory Media . We Can’t have vaccine passports for everyone in England as they can also be used to allow you to vote. Don’t want everyone (NHS Staff) being able to vote.

How about donating the money that was spent on the livery, fuel, servicing and flying the Spitfire to NHS?

They used a spitfire to imply that this is some kind of 'war effort' and nurses need to crack on and do their bit. Except, this isn't a war and you're not paying nurses fairly. Nurses in the UK receive almost half the pay they do in other western countries. PAY THE NURSES FAIRLY.

You'll need a jumbo jet if you want to thank all the key workers. Most on mimumum wage, unlike the NHS.

Thank you for being on paid leave for 18 month and growing the waiting lists to record levels?

Another waste of taxpayers money.

Good old twitter You can't expect people to read the article first before jumping in with there uninformed opinions.

Spitfires. Always with the spitfires. This country has a fetish

Can someone please explain the national obsession with Spitfires? What is the mental delusion that connects anything with an 80 year old war machine? And why would the NHS, whose core business is stopping people dying, want to be connected to a machine precisely built to kill?

Thanks for the delayed operations, the 10 hour A&E waiting times, the horrific actions which require enquiries once a year, the inept Google searching GP’s, the jobsworth Adolf receptionists…

That’s nice . . . I’m surprised borris hasn’t put one up showing his flags

£100k is a drop in the ocean, NHS needs billions.

NHS 'faces breaking point' as waiting list hits another record highEXPERTS warn the NHS could reach breaking point without Covid restrictions this winter as hospital waiting lists hit another record high of 5.61million patients. A study claims more must be done to… Is this ‘mis-information and part of a ‘project privatise ‘ of the NHS Keep rubbishing it and then sell the alternative of private healthcare provision ?

For months ER went without patients.
