The best way to fix Britain? Ban public schools and private health care. If everyone- including those in charge - had to use comprehensive schools and the NHS they'd make damn sure they were the best around. As only us peasants use them they don't currently give a shit.
@anon_opin ...and make MP's pay the country's average salary.
@anon_opin Amuses me that "public" and "private" - two words which linguistically mean the opposite, in this context means the same.
@anon_opin Oh god ... I think I might be communist, I actually think this is a good idea
@anon_opin The very wealthy all congregate in the same places. Schools and hospitals outside those areas wouldn't change.
@anon_opin There is no such thing as private emergency care or private emergency ambulances in the UK. Everyone uses the NHS in an emergency.
@anon_opin How is this a solution? We're short on schools, and the NHS is struggling. Feels like we're trying to fix a leak with a plaster.
@anon_opin Bit of a simplistic argument. Like saying anyone who can afford to buy their own books doesn't care about libraries or anyone who has a car doesn't care about public transport.
@anon_opin Countries in which the socialist element is considerably ramped up, compared with the UK, still have private (UK public) schools and private healthcare. Heck, Germany has Private Krankenversicherung.
@anon_opin Get rid of the lords & honours system too..
