Every new prime minster since Thatcher has vowed to revolutionise the NHS, and they've all failed. The NHS is simply too bloated, with too many vested interests, to be reformable. Cameron is no Thatcher, and if she failed, he will too!

Another nitpicking interview from the BBC which doesn't enquire about the benefits of reform

Whilst queuing at the pharmasist a foreign lady was in front of me She handed in several prescriptions and uttered the words "no pay". After she had gone I asked the assistant if any foreigner actually paid. She replied, in hushed tones, some do, but very few. Two points, firstly someone who has almost certainly paid nothing into the system is milking it, and secondly, A British taxpayer was actually frightened to tell the truth. NuLab/ Blulab, there is no difference

Sometrhing else not in the agreement;


"The government is breaking the promise it made in the coalition agreement not to start increasing state pension age to 66 for women before 2020. The u-turn is to the particular detriment of an estimated 300,000 women who are currently aged 56 or 57 (born between 6 December 1953 and 5 October 1954), whose state pension age has suddenly and unexpectedly increased. "Investor's Chronicle

The default retirement ages were incompatible with legislation to prevent forced redundancies at age 65. Age Concern has seen nothing sinister in this.

Only because we allow the EU to determine our laws.
