    I see 60 to over 70s stacking shelves in supermarkets. One had cancer and worked until the day before his death. I met another elderly chap with cancer who is also working so that he can afford some extra private treatment. This country has become a s*** hole.

          There are no overt intentions to change it. There are however doubts about the companies suckling at the NHS's rather generous teat and the actual organisation of the NHS any attempts to change that are described as privatising the NHS.
