swimmingly. i'm not sick, what more could i ask for?

maybe you should ask some of those British families who have to go online and beg for money so they can come over to America and get treatments and operations that aren't provided by the NHS. ask them how their healthcare is going.

Yea that doesnt happen.

Whilst it is indisputable that the Americans have in some areas developed experimental treatments that arent available on the NHS, they all can be obtained privately in this country.

Nice to have the option of free healthcare though huh? Maybe one day when you call an ambulance in America they'll check your heart rate before they check your credit card.

All Americans have healthcare, it is illegal in the US for anyone to be turned away from the emergency room for not having insurance. but also like Britain, not everyone as access to all kinds of treatment.

Also EMT's do check your heart rate right away, for everyone, no matter what insurance, or lack of you have. so again you are lying.

You obviously know nothing about American healthcare. Keep listening to the hyperbole, it's much more fun than the truth i guess. You don't need to actually think for yourself or reach your own conclusions, you can join a bandwagon. how convenient for you.

I do envy ignorant people, it must be easy to not have to think for yourself.

you are just lying now. i have seen plenty of docummentaries about British people having to come to America for treatment, and if you don't know about this, then it's just your own ignorance. America has the best healthcare in the world, if you can afford it.

Tbh, I'm still for giving this a chance to hope it improves service..but I doubt it somehow.

[joeysteele]

This will prove to be a disaster for customers I think. I never agreed with it and still don't.What a farce too as to the pricing of the shares.

[Verbal]

The thing about this that makes me sick is that there are shareholders now up and down the country, who are people who can afford to spend up to 10k on shares who made a profit on this, whilst there are people on the other end of the scale who can barely afford to eat a square meal who get treated with nothing more than utter contempt. Its a handout from the government to the rich people of the country. Its robbing Paul to pay Peter. They go on and on about the country being short of money and they sell this off taking money out of the treasury to line their own pockets. Absolute scum this tory government are.

I don't think in the end we will get a better service at all, that is not the case with other privatised services, all it has meant is customers pay more and more for less and less.

I think this will come back in time to haunt the Lib Dems and Vince Cable for ever supporting it and allowing the Govt. to get this through. Moreso for the 'cheap' sale it has been shown to be too.

The strikes were coming anyway because of other matters,not the privatisation issue alone.

Crazy, remind me how they got in power again?....

Over 700,000 people applied for Royal Mail shares, I'd say it was more than just the wealthy very few who were supportive of this

The vast majority would have and did buy a huge amount so that they could make a profit on them and many did. Your everyday working class person i'm sure would rather spend the money on food or warmth.

[Kizzy]

The minimum spend was £750... Who has that lying around in loose change?
It should never have been allowed, even maggie left this alone. It's part of a bigger picture for sure.

[Kizzy]

Right the puzzle is starting to fit now, can't post links sorry but the Telegraph has an article on a hedge fund that has already made 18 MILLION from the sell off.
The founder of Landsdowne Partners is a knighted tory beneficiary, and was George Osbornes best man at his wedding.

Are you surprised by this? The Tory party believes that average, working people should live a life of subsistence, slogging it out for 50 years of their life to provide wealth for a social elite of profitmongers.

It's becoming increasingly obvious from their benefits policies that anyone who CAN'T work due to disability, or any "excess" livestock not needed to fill work roles, they would frankly like to round up and gas. They cant say that out loud but it's clear as day.

[Kizzy]

I'm not... Not at all, I'm surprised not more people are suspicious.

Workers vote in favour of the first

Vinny undervalued the shares which stood at almost £5 after 24hrs... Had he opened at that it would have made an extra 900m for the country.
They will strike... and they will get in agency workers, you can't fight the tories.
The trick is not to give them a foothold, now all we can do is pray for damage limitation.
