Sir Keir Starmer #2

I moved to the US with my husband 2 years ago (bit of a tinder box here atm) and I want to move back to the UK. Kier starmer is putting me right off.
I’ve had better healthcare here (we pay the same in health insurance as we would in NI contributions) wit no deductibles unless it’s an operation. My husband needed a hip replacement last year, he could have had it done within 3 months of getting here but chose to wait until he was off in the summer (he’s a professor at a university). It cost $1000 all in. Yes it cost money. But the NHS flat out told my husband he would have to be in a wheelchair before they’d even consider it. My husband is an active man and that would have killed him. His arthritis was severe but they still told him no. They wanted him disabled!
I’ve been diagnosed with adenomyosis, which is like endometriosis. I was told by my dr there was nothing wrong with me in the UK and to basically stop whining. I’m having a potential hysterectomy because of it. I have an annual mammogram and I’m 39 because my mum has a history of cancer (she passed away this year)z im never made to feel like a burden or waste of time.
I understand the NHS is a cornerstone of what make Britain great, but I don’t think they can keep it the way they think they can. It’s broken. I had to wait 6 weeks to have lumps in my breasts checked when I still lived there. It was the scariest 6 weeks of my life. I was then in a room filled with students at the height of covid with a dr who had no feeling or sensitivity at all.
They spend so much money on inclusivity training on trying to define what a woman is, what a mother is, who gets to go in what toilet, when in actual fact I’m sure most trans people don’t give a tit. Most of my trans friends have said themselves they don’t understand why they feel the need to change the term “ mother” because that’s what you are! All that money they waste could be spent elsewhere.
And the needless managers and admin staff who float about doing nothing. Pretending to do work. Why? Why are they there? Get rid of them.
Stop allowing health tourism too. When you go abroad and you injure yourself what’s the first thing they ask for? Money. They don’t give two shits about how injured you are. In the states it’s the same. Cash, card and insurance card. “Oh sorry you’re having a heart attack we’ll get that sorted once you pay” (maybe not that extreme but you catch my drift). I understand Bevan had this dream to treat anyone and everyone, but people purposely coming to the UK to drop 5 kids at the cost of £140k isn’t cheap. How many people with cancer can that treat? His dream is dead!
Sorry rant over. I just love my country and hate to see what’s happening to it. Makes me so sad 😞

Totally agree about the NHS, I pay for private healthcare and it's 80 euros a month. I was paying apparently £862 a month towards the NHS apparently yes that's because I was higher tax payer but its awful value and would probably fail me if i needed it. People need to get over the NHS. It was good when it was set up but it's a different world now and no one would set it up like that if they started today.
Good luck everyone with the budget. I hope you don't do too bad from it!
 
What exactly is a ‘race baiter’? Given David Lammy and Diane Abbott are on completely different wings of the Labour Party it’s interesting they are perceived as the same on this issue

Apparently used his LBC radio shows to do this prior to his current position.

Dawn Butler race baiting again. Why hasn’t this woman been kicked out of the party? She’s a disgrace.

What has she said? All I can think of is that she craves attention and the best way for her to get it is by making divisive comments. Same goes for anyone, whatever their angle. Farage on the Right makes ridiculous racist comments for attention. These people are deeply flawed individuals and are drawn to world of politics because they know they cannot break into showbiz or do anything of real note that society actually wants. It's all very sad and I'm sure we're all sick to the bloody back teeth of it.

David Lammy who thinks that cervixes can be grown and then anyone who has one can be a woman. He is a bleeping idiot.

We need this ⬇ but with "fucks" scrawled out, and "cervixes" scribbled in. I'm not clever enough.

And not just the gobshites like Rayner. Wes Streeting has quite a history of nasty tweets including about Trump. It’s like they never thought they’d actually get into power so felt they could say anything. I mean, plenty of us are pretty dumbfounded that dross like Lammy, Rayner and Streeting have got senior roles in government but the fact that they never saw it coming themselves says a lot.
