US private health groups are trying to take over the NHS, Centene is one taking over GP practices and cutting quality of care to save money. 'We own it' is a group trying to oppose this, they are having a day of action on Saturday July 17th. Let's set up a Lewes group to take part in this!

There's a lady walking round town with a trolley and an ice hockey helmet. It sounds like you'd get on swimmingly.
She needs some new banners.
"NHS has been sold to Satan. Repent here."

I have often seen her, but she is unwell.
This is serious, with US companies moving in to our GP practices and other healthcare facilities. Centene is a huge company.

They've been doing it ages but it's good you noticed it. The crippling financial cost of lockdowns and the loss of taxes has almost guaranteed the sell off of a lot more of the NHS. Now the WHO has designated any widespread disease, no matter how innocuous, a pandemic we can look forward to a lot more of them and a lot less NHS. You might even think it's not a coincidence but then you would cease to be a coincidence theorist and you know where that would leave you!
