| SamuelRSmith said: No, I don't think it is the norm. In fact, there's a British joke/stereotype that goes around because old people flood the NHS over the smallest of things. Seriously, when you go to the General Practitioners, or to the Hospitals, the odds are, old people are going to be the majority, I don't see those people getting rejected treatment. And I'm not even going to bother reading the Express as everything in it is just a load of right wing fabrication. Hell, if you check the wiki page, it's got it stated that it's aligned with the fucking BNP, for christ sake. It's a load of bollocks. Alas, you'll find more articles, but it's never the norm, merely exceptions. I did find this article from the BBC written in 2000 - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/715071.stm - where it's "rife", but the NHS has come on leaps and bounds since then, and by "rife" they meant 40 people. |
lol, the only time i hear refrences to the express is when people make jokes about them still linking stuff to diana.
but yeah, the media here is 90% right wing bs, i dont trust much of what the news here says.
like i said before, kasz216, if we find that something IS a problem, then yes, we should see how to tackle it.
