Smile Free, which campaigns against mask mandates, predicted that whether you had to wear masks in hospitals and clinics would become a ‘postcode lottery’, unconnected with science or evidence. And so it has come to pass.
The French pay the same for their health service as Brits, but this gets them far more doctors and nurses, much less bureaucracy and much better outcomes. Why don't we ditch the 'our NHS' dogma and learn from them?
Test and Trace cost £37bn and made no measurable difference – and its ineffectiveness was clear from the start. Lessons must be learned from such a colossal waste of resources.
NHS England is unable to tell the national auditor what its £14bn bung of taxpayers' money is going to be spent on, while the increasingly female workforce shifts part-time. No wonder the NHS is not delivering.
Hospitals are still performing fewer operations and scans each month than before Covid, despite being given billions more taxpayer cash and being better staffed, as the waiting list continues to soar above 7 million.
