Obviously voting for the MRLP or the greens means you can't read.
If you read them we spend in real times far more than we did, we spend about average in the EU as a percentage. Lower than France & Germany but we still get worse outcomes.

Labour threw billions at the problem unfortunately we didn't have those billions, Labour borrowed them we are still paying them off.

This might come a lot more naturally to a great many of them if they were not such a mollycoddled self-indulgent selection of ingrates.
Those being asked to foot this bill on behalf of the generations that raised them into such a privileged society might want to spend some time reflecting upon the huge debt that they owe in this regard.
They have been born into a free western society where war, disease, and hunger are pretty much things of the past.
They have been offered educational opportunities that their forebears could only have dreamed about. And whilst spending 2-3 days a week scraping a pass in some worthless Degree Course, they run up prodigious bills which they will, in all probability never repay.
One wonders what the fallout will be when it inevitably transpires that THEIR children find out that they have inherited this Bill in years to come?
Yet despite all of this, they consistently carp about the hopelessness of their plight whilst routinely taking "Gap Years" to "Find Themselves".
Ironically, the costs of this are regularly footed by the very generation that they now routinely castigate as the root cause of their predicament when it really boils down to the fact that they have never been required to make any concessions or compromises, and are thus ill-prepared to face the challenges that lie ahead of them.
They feel they have some right to spend all of their money enlarging their earlobes and upgrading their phones whilst festooning themselves with a predictable selection of puerile tattoos.
This sense of entitlement is reinforced by the selfish opinions of like-minded imbeciles, the sort that they make sure to surround themselves with on their little whining entitlement bubbles on Facebook etc.
Come on snowflakes, you can run but you cannot hide. Time to MTFU and put your puny shoulders to the wheel.
Some of us Boomers have incontinence issues looming and botties won't wipe themselves you know!!

wrong
Typical Tory misunderstanding and simplism of economics.
You understand that governments can literally print money don't you?
so a reduction in the rise of spending is a vicious cut. As pointed out above we spent close to the EU average and still have worse outcomes.
Thing about budgets is that they get cut every year in private enterprise. People make do with less and do more.
The NHS needs reform not feeding more money. This panic happens every year and the NHS tries to use it to hit the government over the head.
If we have bed blockers then do something about them, maybe drop them off at the council office with a few off duty nurses during a quiet period? Make sure the press are invited.
printing money is effective devaluing the currency and borrowing off the savers. Yes your pension will be worth less. Sorry if that is hard to understand.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

I would call anything that constitutes taking away healthcare as vicious, I wouldn't expect a Tory to understand that however.#
"bed blockers" are a direct consequence of cutting the social care budget
