Absolutely fecking disgraceful 'leadership'. And ironic that this is actually more Draconian - let the slaves keep working and dying until the system's at breaking point before we get off our fat, silver spoon anuses and do a single fecking thing.
Because with such a repulsively decadent approach, once it gets into hospitals it'll start wiping out people who are there for other things. People who need a hospital to be a safe place to recover - as it should be. And it'll overwhelm hospitals so that people who are there for other things will be dying simply because there isn't the care they need.
And hospices, and Children's hospitals - where, although children have been least affected thus far, you give a 14 year old recovering from a serious disease a dose of it and I'm not so sure.
But then again, this is the same Government who've left NHS skeletal and given us Austerity as well - so we know where their priorities will always lie.
The public need to demand action on this. I'd gladly strike, and as more and more beloved family members are needlessly condemned to horrible deaths because of their inaction, more people will adopt a similar stance.
