Kevin Maguire writes in today’s Daily Mirror on the mortal threat to the NHS posed by Con Dem reforms:
‘Political speeches will not halt David Cameron’s destruction of the National Health Service but patient power can. Protest and the NHS may survive. Sit at home watching the telly and it’ll die, victim of a Conservative ideology which detests everything successful in public hands.
The boastful “child of Thatcher” in Downing Street intends to achieve what eluded all the other Tory premiers since Labour created the country’s most cherished institution in 1948. Cameron is expressing a deep-seated hatred in the Tory psyche to tax-funded health care which treats the sick equally and without charge when they’re ill.’ http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/columnists/maguire/2011/01/19/we-must-protest-or-the-tories-will-kill-the-nhs-115875-22859370/
