The debate is good, but kinda ignoring the initial question. That was, is the NHS in this state because of malice by tories, or ineptitude.
I would argue that it’s ineptitude.
And make no mistake, while the NHS as a system is flawed, it has worked. It just got progressively worse, and you can put a timeline on it – just look at which point the NHS started to become underfunded. While it may look like it just now imploded, it’s a crisis in the making since 2009, and there really isn’t anyone else but Tories to blame for it.
That said: i don’t think that it was a particularly malicious action – i just think they couldn’t care less even if they tried, because obviously, the party of millionaires with ready access to private healthcare doesn’t really feel the issues.
