The ENTIRE UK press & media, along with every #TuftonStreet think tank, has seized on a survey showing 'falling satisfaction' with the #NHS.
They ALL selectively avoid foregrounding the FACT the public shows VERY STRONG SUPPORT for the principles underpinning OUR #NHS.
The ghouls pushing for private health insurance ignore that the overwhelming majority of respondents agreed that the founding principles of OUR #NHS should ‘definitely’ or ‘probably’ apply - 9 in 10 backed the principle that OUR #NHS should be free of charge when you need it.
The ideologically extreme free market fundamentalist ghouls within & outside Government also ignored the FACT that MORE THAN 8 in 10 respondents supported the principles that OUR #NHS should be available to everyone & primarily be funded THROUGH TAXES - NOT private healthcare.
'Public satisfaction with OUR #NHS & social care in 2022' also highlighted that the main reasons people gave for being dissatisfied with OUR #NHS were waiting times for hospital & GP appointments (69%), STAFF SHORTAGES (55%) the GOVERNMENT NOT SPENDING ENOUGH on OUR #NHS (50%).
Of those who were satisfied with OUR #NHS, the top reason was that #NHS care is free at the point of use (74%), followed by the quality of care (55%) and the range of services and treatments available (49%).
There was also a jump from the previous survey in the proportion of people who chose improving A&E waiting times as a priority for the #NHS, from 38% in 2021 to 47% in 2022, taking improving A&E waits into the top three highest priorities.
In 2010, satisfaction with the #NHS stood at a record high of 70%. satisfaction is now at its lowest ever level, at just 29%.
These are the results of more than a decade of deliberate underfunding & a lack of workforce planning.
Remind me, what happened in 2010?
"I can guarantee you today: We will not break up or hinder efficient & integrated care - we will improve it. We will not lose control of waiting times- we will ensure they are kept low. We will not cut spending on the #NHS - we will increase it."
David Cameron, NHS speech, 2011.
"Even with satisfaction dropping to its lowest ever level, support for the founding principles of the #NHS remains strong. The public do not want a different model of health care, they just want the current model to work." - Dan Wellings, #NHS Public Satisfaction Report author.

Aided by the billionaire-owned UK news media (Mail, Sun, Times, Metro, TalkTV and GB "News"), populist politicians push a cynical, divisive, and dangerously irresponsible false narrative that Britain is 'lawless'.
Founded in 2021 and srongly linked to Nigel Farage's "friend", billionaire Palantir CEO Peter Thiel, US VP JD Vance, and a constellation of conservative media and political figures, Rockbridge presents itself as a vehicle for advancing conservative causes.
The NYT reported in 2022 that Thiel is one of the major donors to the Rockbridge Network, alongside Rebekah Mercer. It planned to spend over $30M on conservative media, legal, policy, and voter registration projects. Thiel’s financial support is a clue.
'Flag Force UK': The “Grassroots” Group With Hidden Think Tank Ties.
Flag Force UK presents itself as a patriotic, grassroots movement “built by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts.” But closer inspection suggests it may be a coordinated #astroturf operation...
Supposedly based in York, 'Flag Force UK' self-identifies as a "grass roots" campaign set up by three men who 'just wanted to put England and Union flags up', and which already brands itself as "the UK's premier community network tracking flag raisings across the nation."
Rapid Growth, Opaque Origins
Flag Force UK appeared suddenly in August 2025, yet within weeks, its account on @X had amassed a suspicious 12,000 followers — unusually rapid growth for a new, 'volunteer-led' group with little media coverage or on-the-ground activity.
Robert Jenrick’s attendance at the Epping anti-refugee protest on August 18, 2025, represents a grave error of judgment, dangerously irresponsible behaviour, and a morally indefensible decision, particularly given his role as Shadow Justice Secretary.
Jenrick posted photos showing himself at the protest outside the Bell hotel in Epping, where police have been attacked.
A Stand Up to Racism spokesman said “Jenrick is fanning the flames of the far-right by chasing Reform UK votes, and he’s giving confidence to known fascists.”
The rally, organised by the neo-Nazi Homeland Party provided a platform for extremists. Jenrick shared a photo of himslef next to Eddy Butler, former Combat 18 founder and ex-BNP organiser.
A coordinated political project is reshaping Britain in the image of Trump’s MAGA movement.
Reform UK—fuelled by wealthy donors, ideologically aligned think tanks, and a network of right-wing media—has ambitions unlike anything in modern UK politics.
The goal is clear: install Farage as PM, backed by policies and rhetoric that mirror America’s populist right.
Recent events, including JD Vance’s high-profile visit, reveal a deliberate and potentially transformational transatlantic political strategy.
Richard Tice's shameful rhetoric is dangerously irresponsible, and has clear historical parallels with Nazi propaganda, which depicted Jewish men as threats to German women, stoking fear and justifying persecution.
No civilised democracy effectively encourages vigilantism.
The Nazi tabloid Der Stürmer often portrayed Jewish men as sexual predators targeting German women.
A 1935 piece titled "Jews as Sexual Predators," claimed Jewish men committed heinous sexual crimes against Christian women and girls, citing fabricated or exaggerated cases.
The 1935 story described a Jewish man, Kurt Meyer, allegedly murdering a pregnant Christian housemaid, and another, Louis Schloß, supposedly drugging and abusing non-Jewish girls. There is no credible evidence to support these specific claims.
