As one who's watched the creation of the NHS, I can affirm that it has always been loathed by theArchived Message

foaming haters of socialism. It's been in their gunsights from the very beginning, and any scam that they could push through during Official/Unofficial tory governments, to tear pieces off the service and flog them off to profit-seekers has been grabbed; as has any chance just to screw it up, with a view to finally wrecking it. It the Bojit gang get a 'win' (according to the execrable democracy-prevention swindle of FPTP) in this election, that wrecking process will be wilfully accelerated towards the goal of final collapse and dissolution of our egalitarian, high-quality, non-commercial public health service. To be replaced by US-based gangster-capitalist carrion-scoffers, picking over the corpse for any bits that they can use to screw profit from the Brits - if we let them.
That's a big if. Should the official tories swindle another term of office for themselves, that won't mean that it's all over. La lotta continua! The next step in the repudiation of austerity and carrion-scavenging is widespread public disorder, leading to a terrified retreat by the wreckers. We have those two chances to kick them out: elect a Corbyn government, or rise up in gic-lynching rage, to frighten the toxic scum off.
