This country's government and health system is pathethic. We are a country which runs on greed and inequality. Why are we immating the American healthcare model as opposed to the German model? Why is there large investments in building private hospitals which increases inequalities and prices ordinary people out accessing healthcare? I cannot understand why a population of about 4 million cannot organise an efficient healthcare system. We are supposedly one of the richest countries in the world (per capita) with a tiny population that cannot provide healthcare to the most vulnerable in society. Ridiculous! Money is being wasted on consultants, admin staff and private investment while people like Susie (RIP) are being ignored. Is profit and wealth more important than life? We pay health insurance to get seen faster. Money talks in this country! Is that the attitude of the government which runs this country? No excuse! It’s an absolute disgrace.

The very least he could is pretend to give a shit but he doesn't even do that. Every single time a failure of this government is highlighted he glosses over it because he really doesn't care. Calling him 'a joke' is putting it mildly. Leaving aside any question of Bertie being a crooked fucker, his complete and utter lack of regard for people in cases like this is appalling.
