I have to repost this again! What are these private healthcare companies expecting for these “donations”! Why isn’t this a National Scandal?
Do you think the NHS is high on their list of priorities?
I dont give a toss about the minuscule number of asylum seekers coming to the UK in small boats. I dont care greatly about our NHS. Please follow and support Dr Julia Paterson and her wonderful work.

Johnson spent years charming, bluffing, and backstabbing his way to the top.

Positioning himself as a latter-day Churchill when the moment came and leadership was desperately needed, he showed us who he was...

Unionists in Scotland are happy to pass this by in order to be governed by Westminster & be contented with less money for the country that they live in.
And at the same time they are equally contented to take all the benefits that the Scottish government continue to make available to them.
