You misinterpret my comment - I wasn't criticising a repentant sinner
(although my catholic background makes me sceptical of the suggestion that
this is what is happening in the Kings Fund as opposed to blatant
opportunism)rather I was suggesting that the repentance - such as it is -
is potentially too late to save the NHS as a public service (even some of
NHS 'angels'- to carry on the religious imagery- are now calling for
charges for primary care - fingers cross the majority reject this noxious
divisive motion).
