This'll get spread around as heavily as that misleading bread line photo from the USSR, right?
Only as a justification for privatisation.

American healthcare is coming to the UK
Shortening the lines by making the healthcare unaffordable
Good thing they're expending tens of millions on round the clock care for a living fossil. He's just divinely more entitled to Healthcare.
biden got to reek of formaldehyde by now

Oi, you got a loicense for those luxury bones, mate?
Never understood the breadlines bit. In western countries we don't bother to feed our poor, we let them starve on the street. No actually, we bleach our food to prevent the poor from eating our waste for free.
Imagine rationing your food and SHARING it?? Couldn't happen here.
Sometimes over here in Algeria we have food shortages and food rations get enforced by the gendarme, and that included bread for a while (start of the Ukraine war), and I personally have been in literal so called "breadlines" I don't know how similar or different they are here compared to the USSR, but I don't understand the whole propaganda point either??? like it feels no different than waiting inline in the super market it's just that you can't buy a gazillion breadsticks, but hey thanks to the guy before you not being allowed to buy a gazillion breadsticks you actually bring back home breadsticks.
In America you'd have patriots storming the place to hoard months worth of bread for their bunker, where they'll shoot anyone that approaches.
When covid started there were regular shortages at supermarkets because of people buying supplies in bulk. Stores put limits on how much toilet paper and stuff you could buy at once so Americans predictably cried about authoritarianism China USSR 1984. Also some people made a business out of scalping toiletries, selling TP for like fifty bucks per roll. We let the free market take care of things here. 🦅🧻
I did stand in those infamous lines in 80's Poland and while it did sucked, it still beats the hell of not getting anything because being poor or because the fist two people bought all of whatever you wanted.
Also those weren't the bread lines, bread was available. Hell, now i have to sign the list in store and order bread in advance because they only bake as much as needed and it's often impossible to buy bread in local store after the morning pass.
AFAIK, most of those bread line pictures are from the late 80s and early 90s. The bread lines were a result of the reintroduction of capitalism. Once again, every accusation is a confession.
the good old "starve the beast" strategy, but in this case starving the beast is honestly humane for the beast considering the kind of food it would get in the UK
And all of you tankies still want socialism?? SMH my head

Nah, they'll just blame it on the immigrants ez
quite a few poc in this picture, post this anywhere online where white British so-called "people" can see it and see how much pure unfiltered racism you get in your replies 😵💫
It'll be both
Knowing TERF island, they'll also find some way to blame trans people too.
In Soviet Badcountry, resources and healthcare are so scarce that desperate people line up around the block in the hopes of seeing the one dentist.
I keep remembering I need to sign up for the dentist, guess there is no point then
Another good reason for Scotland's independence. Let England Americanize all they want, but not Scotland.
It'll be hilarious seeing some idiots be shocked that they have to fork over 100k pounds for having a kid, despite that being EXACTLY what they told Parliament what they wanted.
Agreed. Fewer delays on the breakdown of the union pls
Wale, Scotland, Ireland should leave from the United Kingdom to form united republics
Scotland had a chance to gain by ballot what most countries have had to gain through the blood of their people and they pissed it away. Now things are going to have to get really fucked up before they get another chance at the same.
To be fair they were straight up lied to by Brits about brexit and their referendum, but then again, while all people should assume that Brit state is lying every time, this goes doubly for Scotland.
This is clearly the fault of the radical left.
Why would communism do this?!
Proles in the U.S. be like: "First time?"
Across England, 83% of dental surgeries were refusing to accept adults as patients seeking NHS care
This sounds like the class discrimination that comes with U.S. states' medicare programs. A state here never has enough funding to meet the high financial cost of many medical practitioner fiefdoms, so the poor and most needy get de-prioritized and kicked to the curb. Waiting times for care are long and few places will take such patients, in addition to giving only the bare minimum of material assistance (i.e. the cheapest "get them out the door" fix for their ailments). Story as old as time under privatized capitalist healthcare regimes.
“Further measures to improve access and increase the number of NHS dentists through our dental recovery plan will be set out shortly.”
access
Being a citizen of Burgerland I twitch reflexively when I see that in healthcare discussion.
Yep, that sounds like how it is here more and more nowadays.
Sadly, I do remember ~15 years ago when everyone could actually rely on decent public healthcare from the NHS.
Prediction: heart related death/disease will start to increase in the near future
