NO MORNING STAR reader will need reminding of the detrimental impact that a lack of funding, PFI disasters and a decline in our general health has had on the NHS.
And I’m pretty sure that goes for many other people who don't read these pages. Yet it’s an issue that we cannot ignore — after all as Mark Thomas reminds us, every single person in this country will at some point or another will need its service — so, therefore, we need to do everything in our power to change things.
Which is why it was pleasing — if not surprising — to see comedian and lifetime left-wing activist Thomas focus on the NHS for his latest project.
