The BBC interviewed the staff at this hospital and the ER doctor said "it's a rubbish service" !

Flu season is particularly bad they say and Patients waiting days for a bed. Awful.

It will get worse, as I recall the government system is considered acceptable as long as the wait time is under 18 weeks, yes 18 weeks!

If the free market saw a pent up demand like this, there would be a new hospital opening every 6 months.

That’s the model that the reds want for America.

Death for the poor and middle class, high level treatment in luxury facilities for the ruling class.

They want communism (socialized medicine) to work because they say it will work

They’re so dumb

These doctors, hospitals and staff get paid the same whether they treat people in a timely and efficient way or not.

And yet the NHS is the UK’s largest employer, public or private sector.

Go figure.

Note to patients: You’re really just the grist for your Deep State’s socialist medical mill.

If something is “free” then demand approaches infinity.

As winter pressures mount on the NHS, hospitals are buckling as they try to cope with long admission waits and bed shortages.

It must be really bad if the BBC admits this.
