Mitchell’s admission comes after the NHS Confederation said the service will soon be “unsustainable” if radical reforms are not presented before the next general election.

Thugs, those on entitlements, collectivists, and politicians.

Didn’t use to be that way 25 years ago.

But back then, you could tramp all across London for weeks without seeing an arab.

Tough. They had enough time to fix the problem. Will they learn their lesson and dump nationalized healthcare and kick uncivilized immigrants out? I doubt it.
