"Middle" earners have been struck with so much extra to pay that there is no room to pay much else. The government needs to acknowledge this. Our wage may be in the middle, but what we can afford is no longer in that middle.
The raise in NI was not met with a mahoosive oposition, was it? At least, I did not complaint. I would rather pay a bit more tax, but I want the GPs to be properly part of the NHS, and flipping have a good appointment system.
I think paying for A&E is barbaric.. so, are you meant to provide your bank card when you are taken in after a road accident?
Because I do know a student in USA who broke an ankle after being pushed by a car off the curve. They had to pay, there and then, $200 before getting inside the ambulance (they had a visiting visa for 3 months) I was, and still am, appalled by this.
Anyway, I do think this lot will do nothing, even if we all donate a million pounds each to the NHS.
I do think other parties will, at least, try to sort the issues and address them. We need someone moved by the duty to better people's life, not by their personal bank accounts.
