There aren't enough rich people to pay for all the poor people; and the very very rich were already moving their money out of the country before the election.
Yes those I knew, the maths never balanced. But it is the whole perception thing. Usually Labour try to fudge it to look like they are actually doing what they say. Right now they're pretty brazen aobut it. NHS management functions have been told a direct 50% cut. No removal of what they have to deliver, just half the people to do it.
Whilst we have known for a while that the NHS really needs to be reformed so it can perform, this government was all aobut "funding the NHS" in their campaigning, but so far the actions seem to be f****ing the NHS rather than fun*ing it..
I wonder what comes after the stripping of the back end management functions? Pay rises for frontline staff? Whilst I'm not against that, I'm wondering how services get better and waiting lists drop by paying the same people, who are currently overworked, more money to continue providing the same service and remaining overworked and likely to be more so as it will be impossible to employ new frontline staff at the higher wages.
Fortunately I had Zero expecatations of them. It is hard to fail Zero but they do seem to be lining up the digging equipment.
