Penny, I don't think it's a matter of religion. It's a matter of humanity. I think the options for descriptions of those who would deny adequate healthcare to millions are bad or hoodwinked. Those who apply the hoodwinks can only be bad - but they have their own religion, based on the mantras of a "free market economy" - which with the benefit of hindsight we KNOW does not work.   

Sugarfoot Jack, I agree. I smelt the ifs and buts the moment I heard the shadow health minister making promises with hidden getouts. But if the opressed in the UK did not take to the barricades against Thatcher, what hope have we that they will ever do so?
