Death by Socialist Planning

Delivery of any service by socialist planning is deeply discredited throughout the world except for the supply of health services by the NHS in England and Wales; Scotland marches to a different drum, but the English and the Welsh are supposed to revel in the glory of being beneficiaries of the finest levels of state provision: filthy hospitals, long waiting lists, no accountability, PFI debt coming home to roost, and brutal realist attitudes to the primacy of providers over patients. Not to mention the spill over effect of such a neanderthal structure rooted in the midst of a modern advanced economy.

The Bank of England has recently distinguished itself as the lender of last resort to otherwise collapsed banks, wholly under the control of the Treasury and the Labour regime; the NHS can be seen as the employer of last resort equally dancing to the tune of Labour party dominated statist clientalism.
