(not satire – it’s the UKIP!)
UKIP’s Deputy Chairman and potential parliamentary UKIP candidate for Basildon – the former disgraced Tory MP Neil Hamilton – clearly hates the NHS.
In an extraordinary tirade of hate against the NHS in a column for the Daily Express last year, Hamilton describes the NHS as….
- diseased
- worse than the Taliban
- a shambles
- a Soviet-style monolith
- dismal
- inadequate
- outrageous
- a substitute for religion
- not commercial enough
- brilliant at one thing: burning our money
- too large
- a killing machine
And what is Hamilton’s ‘cure’ for the NHS?
Well – according to his article – he thinks the NHS is a “nationalised monolith” which is “not commercial enough” and needs more “private sector disciplines“, “profit” the “market” and “private contributions“.
Or to put it another way – the NHS needs to be privatised.
You can read Hamilton’s hate-filled tirade here (warning – Daily Express dross):
Failing NHS is itself diseased

I wish people would stop calling it UKIP.
The more accurate name is NEW TORY.
The newest “nasty party” on the block.

Reblogged this on Beastrabban’s Weblog and commented:
Neil Hamilton shows what he really thinks about the NHS. This goes with Bob Nuttall and the other leading Kippers, who want it privatised but then strangely keep silent and start denying they ever said such things before the electorate. Hamilton is, of course, notorious for taking money for questions from Mohammed al-Fayed. That ended up in court case between in which, as Private Eye’s editor Ian Hislop once remarked, you wished they would both lose.

There are ‘plonkers’ and there are other ‘plonkers’. Which category do you think Neil Hamilton falls into?

This story is a year and a half old! Recycling it does more harm than good. Hamilton was an idiot then and he’s no brighter now. He’s not a demon, he’s a moron (though his wife is smarter and a nasty schemer). His infantile and bigoted views about the NHS (and much more) should be ridiculed and countered, not given further credibility by republishing them.

the money being spent in the managed decline and profitizing of the welfare state, could likely have financed the old welfare state without any further input for decades…so where is all that money going? what a brave new world, never mind the suffering feel the profit..

This story is a year and a half old; recycling it does no good. Hamilton was an idiot then and he’s no brighter now. Of course we don’t expect tom to worry about a small thing like that, just as we don’t expect him to blog about the PFI contracts (privatisation) that labour foisted on the NHS to allow its labour luvvie business supporters to put a ball-and-chain on the NHS with contracts that anywhere else would be rightly condemned as restrictive practice.

Perhaps one is upset that Nigel Garage a while back suggested the NHS should be a privately financed insurance system whereby special areas could be designated for breastfeeding , providing of course there are immigrant free driving lanes to get you to the hospital and also hoping that gay marriage hasnt affected the weather and caused flooding

He’s not UKIP Parliamentary candidate for Basildon.
He deselected himself earlier today.
Never get a fact like that get in the way of a good smear though huh?
[The blogpost was written before he deselected himself – made clear by the word ‘potential’. But perhaps you don’t know the meaning of the word ‘potential’. Never let ignorance like that get in the way of a good smear though huh?] – TOM

Just noticed the taliban reference; its the title of the piece and it is only there. There’e seems to be no reference to it elsewhere, nor any attempt to justify/ explain it.

Is that disgraced former MP and bribe-recipient Neil Hamilton, a man too toxic even for the Tories? Just the person to take the moral high ground, especially when he has a chance to make a private profit.
The NHS has recently saved my life: I had breast cancer, which they have cured. It also saved my mother’s life twice, once when she haemorrhaged shortly after giving birth (my Dad would have been left to raise four of us under the age of 6, and I’d never have known her, if they hadn’t been fast and effective) and once when she had a rare aneurism in her fifties (one usually diagnosed, as the specialist told us, after the sufferer dies, though thanks to NHS’ outstanding contribution to medical research, the prognosis is lots better today than when she had it in 1979). She had another 29 years of healthy life after that, long enough to see us all through our education and into work, marriage, and several grandchildren.
It saved the lives of two of my nephews when they were small: one had a childhood illness that children die of: one was born prematurely at home and then his lungs collapsed. Both are fine healthy lads now.
They’ve done this for us, as they do for anyone in need, more cost-effectively than the health systems of any other developed country.
These things should be remembered.
