The NHS is not lost, we can still win!

With so many feeling the NHS is seemingly lost if it goes through the houses of parliament and many feeling dejected we must remind ourselves that the poll tax was made law before it was defeated along with Margaret Thatcher and her Tory government .
It is nonsense to tell people we only have so many days to save the NHS or if the lords don’t save us no one will. Some have even started calling for us to lobby the queen to save the NHS, yes you heard that right the sodding queen!!

Unbelievable you may think but sadly true and the desperate state of people is clear their petitions and emails to their MP’s have not worked as we pointed out unsurprisingly we need more militant action now moving on to the industrial plain.

But to start with a mass national demonstration to bring all the forces together on a similar scale to march 26th last year and then use the threat of strike action as a tool to force the government back on this.
I don’t for one moment have any illusions that the labour party or unison are interested in a real battle after all it was much of the same labour party policies that got the NHS to where it is today so they cannot be trusted. We must do it alone with trade unions willing to fight a proper battle and community activists and NHS users to all come together to fight to the very end on this. More of the same wont work we need to escalate the action and put a shot across the government’s bow that we mean business and not letting our NHS go lightly.

It is key now that we start thinking of standing nurses, doctors and medical workers in elections not under labour but as TUSC or independents to gain a political voice. I have already read some are thinking of doing this as an act of revenge on the government. The vehicle already exists for this to happen with TUSC workers can move on to the political plain and mould TUSC into a fighting campaigning electoral force that can raise the banner of the NHS.


The NHS can still be saved we must not get demoralised or dejected but keep on fighting and step up the campaign in every town and city across the country. Leading to mass national industrial action if need be.

Let’s make the NHS Cameron’s poll tax and have the Tories out as soon as we can!

In the week the NHS is 63 years old fight must be stepped up to save it

SO on the 5th of July, tommorrow one of the greatest institutions celebrates its 63rd birthday.

But this is no time for sentiments as this fantastic organisation is under threat from this tory government . The planned health care reforms plan to open up the NHS to further privatisation building on what the last labour government started with their PFI schemes.

The NHS which is famous the world over and well known for its excellent free at the point of use health care.

Its staff work endlessly for long hours and poor pay in alot of situations.

The battle to save the NHS must be stepped up combining NHS workers in the public sector general strike in the autumn. There will be march's to save teh NHS but i think industrial action is needed now to save it.

I like many others value what a great service the NHS gives. Tories and the rich do not appreciate what a great job the staff of it do. This is down to the fact few of them use it. Most of the rich use private health care as they can afford it.

I worry that the ideas the tories have which was to end the National Health service within 5 years of them coming to power which is what one tory was quoted as saying before the election last year. I fear we will end up with a american style health care where if you need a operation or to see a doctor you must pay before you get seen.

This is not the sort of country i wantto live in where how much you can afford determines if you can and cant be seen and what standard of treatment you can get.

The NHS should always be free for all. It can be funded properly if the tax evaded by rich corperations is properly collected.

The NHS should be under worker control with no privatisation at all. It should be there to provide first class health care for all not to provide a service or a product which people buy into.

So i urge you all now who value this great instittution set up for the benifit of the many not just the few to stand up and defend your NHS.

In its 60 years of existence the NHS has undergone reform after reform by government after government. It is time we say keep your grubby hands off our NHS and properly fund it and keep out private money.

This was a organisation made by the people for the people, lets keep it this way!
