These fuckers claim astronomical profit and the entire point of privatisation is that that hefty profit is to go into this sort of upkeep and modernisation.
Privatisation is a scam and any government who doesnt push back is weak.

Such a pity that frontline NHS staff aren’t given the space in newspapers to air their thoughts, as Streeting is. The NHS is currently missing around 100,000 staff. It’s no surprise when they’re bashed continually for fighting for fair working conditions🚨
