This was a very successful country at one time, the Empire days where those that ran Britain ran much of the world and reaped the rewards. But the commoner got virtually nothing from this as not really anything existed in terms of the caring services. So despite everything seemingly falling apart due to lack of funding, it is far better than in the days of Empire, we the plebian are actually better off than we were when Britain ruled much of the world. But I suppose what we have, what worked at it's conception, could it be it has grown too large, spread itself too thin to effectively cover everything. In terms of the health service it now umbrellas more people than ever before, and the services it performs have gone far beyond it's intention but it still receives relatively little funding for what it is expected to cover. Maybe the health service should actually go back and look at the goals set out at the start and there re-evaluate itself as to where it should be going.
The same with all services that appear to be falling apart, go back and see what has changed, as my understanding is, we are not a socialist country, therefore the socialist aspects of it will struggle to survive, if we want care for all and everything working then we know in what direction we should go. But seeing as we are not a socialist country for there are those with personal wealth to decide their care, we are stuck with what we have, which begs the question,should the caring services exist for all ? Those that don't support care for all down to the lowest person should use their wealth to find treatment elsewhere. Should there be private beds in NHS hospitals, situations where money demands better service, surely that is antithesis to the original ideas.
If we are to live in a country where the future is to be unequal, then the services provided should also be unequal and there let order come from chaos, for that is the natural way.
