i can confim this report.
i work for the nhs in scotland and the level of cuts is unheard of.
we have run out of stock on numerous occassions, and staff has been cut drastically.
We are now basically doing the job of 3 people with 2.
however this is not due to socialism
it is simply due to a conservative party with no balls. if it wants to save billions of pounds it simply needs to pull every soilder out of iraq, and afganistan - which they are illegally invading anyway. Another way to save billions would be to stop allowing immigrants into the country only to live off goverment wellfare. However my personal favorite way to cut cost would be to immediately stop supplying junkies with free methadone treatments. Stick then in a padded cell to go cold turkey. Then let them out. If they go back on the drugs ( which would be checked every month via blood test, for a year) they are thrown in jail/cold turkey again, before being put in the army to fight in afganistan/iraq.
in fact everyone who is able and has been unemployed for a year or more would by law be drafted, and forced to fight for 3 years.
This system would work well in most of europe.
The solution is there - we only need the will and conviction of choice to act.
vote fatpanda for prime minister in the next election.
