My only knowledge of Raab was his appalling lack of empathy or concern for the family of the young lad killed by the wife of the American serviceman who later claimed diplomatic immunity and fled facing justice. They actually received a much more sympathetic personal hearing from Trump. Not someone I'd want in permanent charge of the country.

Re: British Prime Minister admitted to hospital (Update: now in intensive care)
I don't want to get into a political discussion, but I see that Boris' Conservative party has been in government for the past ten years and is therefore responsible for the NHS since 2010. Just pointing out the obvious.Doc67 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 4:03 pmGermany, by a country mile.
Decentralised, independent budgets, capable of being managed, unlike the enormous hulking hopelessly mismanaged NHS. For the avoidance of doubt, I have no issues with the vast majority of clinical staff.
I have said before that when this is over and the endless gushing praise of the NHS by the media and politicians has stopped, it is going to be exposed as very second rate in comparison to it's European counterparts. And it's not just about budgets, it's about how and where they are deployed and mismanagement and inefficiency and wastage and corrupt PFI contracts (Thanks LABOUR).

Sure, there is blood on all their hands. The biggest hurdle to making much needed improvements to the NHS is that it is a political sacred cow. Now politician or party can argue for a root and branch reorganisation without uproar and chants of privatisation by the back door, an insult to all the heroic hard working NHS staff etc etc. And this is just going to be worse when this is all over.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 4:41 pmI don't want to get into a political discussion, but I see that Boris' Conservative party has been in government for the past ten years and is therefore responsible for the NHS since 2010.

We should just get the Germans over and ask them what they would do, and then do it. Or, better still, get them to do it for us and we pay them.

Centre right gov'ts undermine public institutions in the hope that more and more people will opt to go private and thus redirect wealth into private companies.
Scarier than malaria.
