Anyone that things that the ills of the NHS can be cured by cutting "managers" doesn't understand what the NHS actually is.
Or they are just saying out loud what they always thought or weren't paid enough to take such extreme positions, in the days they still pretended there was some sort of legitimate intellectual basis for the policies they supported.
Ironically though his comment does quite accurately reflect the situation of many on the far right, who go on about a out national pride but seem to hate everything that is actually good about the country.

Getting rid of McSweeney is the necessary condition for survival (albeit not a sufficient one). Labour has to wake up and understand that the majority of the electorate are still voting Labour, Lib Dem or Green, but to avoid a catastrophe, people will need to want to lend their votes to one of them

Ain't nothing Christian about Banks. And if jobs should be based on merit, presumably he will resign immediately and start new career as a tape worm.
Is 5 people a statistically significant sample? I mean I hate them as much as anyone else but that is a well dodgy statistic.
This is very true. At the time one of the interpretations was the "politics of complacency" - the idea that people had been isolated from serious hardship for so long that they felt that you could be as reckless as you want (in your voting) and there wouldn't be a material adverse effect.
Yes it is comedy But you would be hard-pressed to find anyone in East Asia who disagreed with it.
It's SUCH a minefield. All you need to do is say something massively racist and then people go around saying you said something massively racist.
Exactly my thoughts when I heard it.
Let's wait for the Right to blame the books.
Oh my God, that disgusting woman is an MP?! Shame on whoever voter for her.
