Myths & Legends, Come Away!

The luvvie tendency keeps busting a gut to make everyone think the Tories are going to privatize the NHS and all the poor people will die because they won’t be able to afford it. But isn’t this something the Labour party was doing during its last 13 years of misrule? There were Gordon Brown’s infamous PPI scams, which let him keep hospital building costs out of the national debt by trickery, and which left the taxpayer paying 25 times the building cost for one hospital. And then there was all the contracting out of NHS services to private companies, which subsequently employed retired Labour ministers at 6-figure salaries at around 3 times what the prime minister is paid. All in all, your luvvie high ground is rather flat, chaps.
