On the bird site, I waded through the unpleasant posts of right-wing libetarian shills who're like spoilt kids demanding we give them our sweets while they refuse to share those they already have.Made me realise that Mastodon is where the grown ups have gone.One trend I did spot over there was that Elno's blue tick is being used by satire accounts to troll conscience-light multinational companies.& because of the sackings, there's no one to monitor/stop them.#birdsite

The uncaring Tories have happily let waiting lists rise, left patients to suffer &, in a heartbreaking number of cases, die.They're manipulating our distress to cripple the NHS.Unless they're stopped, they'll kill the NHS & exploit our illnesses to make themselves wealthier.#SaveOurNHS#NeverVoteConservative

@TCatInRealityA Government with a conscience would seek a swift resolution to the strikes.They'd want to reward staff that work extra hours to cover staff shortages, the same staff that risked their health to work largely unprotected during the pandemic, because they are the people caring for the sick & nursing the dying.Instead, they deepen the crisis to undermine the NHS to con people into giving away their free healthcare so Tories can enrich themselves with our suffering.#SaveOurNHS

@TCatInReality If Tories can convince people the NHS can't cope or has failed them, there will be enough gullible people who will swallow the lie, ignore the fact it's Tories that deliberately destroyed the service & it's all a huge con so wealthy Tories can enrich Tory donors with an everlasting cash-cow that they'll use to milk the sick & elderly of their savings.It'll be a total downgrade, cost more, be restrictive & increase suffering... with absoloutely no way back to a free NHS.

@TCatInReality The cost difference between the NHS & private care is astronomical.On the NHS, for hospital care you only pay for prescriptions & if you have no money, even those are free.With private healthcare, you pay for everything, at full price, & if you have no money or no insurance (or it's an existing condition), tough, your treatment stops until you pay up.The financial difference can be a bill of £30,000+ in private medicine against zero personal cost in the NHS.#SaveOurNHS

@enmodo @TCatInReality Pleased you recovered from the accident.In the UK, because we've had the luxury of free NHS healthcare, what will be charged for by private medicine - & the cost - is beyond the experience of most.Private medicine charges for the food, the bed, the room, the nurse, every appointment, every tablet, every x-ray, the ambulance, the Dr (more for a consultant), the operation, anesthetic, bandages, aftercare... everything, & all at full price. No money, no care.#SaveOurNHS

Spot the pattern.Tories made judges scapegoats for defending international law.Tories made lawyers scapegoats for defending our human rights.Tories made Drs & nurses scapegoats for defending the NHS.Tories made the Civil Servants scapegoats for defending democracy.Tories made asylum seekers scapegoats to attract the racists.Tories made the disabled scapegoats to distract from Tory tax avoidance.Tories made Unions scapegoats to mislead the gullible.#NeverVoteConservative

Yesterday, Tories forced through a law to remove the rights of vulnerable people.Today, Tories have gone to court to take away the rights of nurses.Tomorrow, Tories plan to remove human rights protection from all of us.Spot the pattern.#NeverVoteConservative

You don't have to be good at maths to understand that it cost less to pay NHS staff to do their job than it costs to pay a private company to do the job instead.You do have to be corrupt to wilfully destroy the No. 1 healthcare system on the planet so it ceases to function & so made easier to sell it to Tory cronies at a knock-down price.It means we're paying for Tory failure, greed & corruption in cash, suffering & in many cases, the lives of lived ones.#SaveOurNHS#NeverVoteConservative

@OliverNoble @enmodo @TCatInReality With the NHS, if the same health issue reoccurs, you're treated. It doesn't matter how many times you need care, it still costs you nothing.With private medicine, your insurance won't cover existing health problems, so you'll pay, in full, for every single reoccurance.& should you need medical equipment, such as a walking stick, crutches or catheters, you'll pay for them all.The ways they profit from your illness never ends.#SaveOurNHS

Historically, Labour cut hospital waiting lists while the Tories make them worse.The previous Labour Government reduced hospital wait times to 9 weeks & the numbers on the lists fell to 2 million.Meanwhile, the current Tory Government has increased waiting lists above 7.2 million (a record), & the 18-week target hasn't been met since 2016.https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-7281/This pattern of greedy failure & suffering happens every time we have a Tory Government.#NeverVoteConservative#SaveOurNHS

If only the Tories had chosen to tackke Covid precautions instead of grifting to line their pockets & kill the elderly...There'd have been fewer deaths, shorter lockdowns & less trauma......but there'd have been almost no opportunity for the Tories to skim a profit for their paraditic cronies, exploit the traumatic situation they worsened for political gain or try to eradicate the elderly population.#Demicide#JailTheCovidCriminals#NeverVoteConservative

The Tory record.Tens of thousands dead because of austerity, poverty & pandemic neglect.£Billions lost to crony fraud, squandered & syphoned to Tory tax avoiders.Services decimated, funding cut & investment slashed.Highest taxes, vast borrowing, but no money for anything.#NeverVoteConservative
