the nhs has always provided most of its services in the community and in patients homes through community nurses, rehab therapy teams, community hospitals, GP services, health visiting and school nursing and community mental health to name but a few.

the privatisation of services begsn in the 90’s under bliar and continued a pace in the following years with use of private sector for surgical services etc…this is the final push to give it over to Big Pharma and Big Tech at vast profit to them, helped by the WHO and UN in their propaganda.

so

keep healthy folks, walk lots and stay physically mobile if poss and eat your own grown food, get outdoors, drop the phones, focus on your community and helping each other. find your connection to the sacred.

stay away from processed food, techno living, money as your god,

Keep up the good work, Ben. Now I’m on SubStack too…and thought your January talk from the rugged Cornish coast was so good I quoted a section from it on my recent video about Exposing System Lies.

I think I am already a Rise UK paid subscriber, but haven’t had an email since Adelaide University and I parted company (due to my repeated public excoriations of their largest “research” funder, Big Pharma (“Harma”) in March…so I lost my Uni email address…now on Proton.

Love your UK Column work!

I was invited ( by post) to contribute my pennyworth to this exercise. I was asked to rate, and criticise my GP and his local provision. Given that my GP on my first (and only) visit informed me that because I lived on the boundary of his 'area', he could not offer visits, a district nurse, nor contact my local pharmacy for drug prescription, there was little to assess. No provision can not be evaluated! BUT even had there been any, I would not have availed myself of the offer, since it would lay anyone my age (80+ )open to retribution ( DNR, NBM, or the hot off the press option of 'voluntary euthanasia') All this talk with infantile nursery level pictures of the new NHS is an entire sham. There is only one guiding principle: sustainable indifference.

Many thanks. I think the NHS needs flattening anyway, and whatever worth saving rebuilt as required.

We never needed that much from it, but they have made so many dependant on it for their regular poisoning.

The main problem is the haemoraging of taxpayers' money to useless projects, frequently overseas.

As to 'deliberative event' as is so often the case anagrams explain its true nature.
