In it's 60th year the NHS probably hasn't been debated quite like it has over the past week. Dan Hanan a Conservative MEP caused a storm recently by saying on American TV that he wouldn't inflict the NHS on anyone.
In the political silly season there have been over 12,000 tweets on the welovethenhs page. It is being described as a huge internet political campaign. I question this as over 66,000 people have signed an online petition calling on Gordon Brown to resign and over 3.5 million people have viewed Dan Hanan making mince meat out of Gordon Brown in the European Parliament.
My own view is that NHS as an institution needs to retained but it is urgent need of reform. I mean should it be the world's third biggest employer behind the Chinese Red Army and the Indian State Railway?
Both Gordon and Sarah Brown have tweeted welovethenhs yet Gordon Brown had over a £1,000 of private work done on his teeth. One word springs to mind - Hypocrite!
