The UK is a rich country. It could easily supply health care for everyone - heck, it could easily drop tuition fees at universities and lift all Britons out of poverty if only it wanted. Just look at all the money they’ve wasted on useless wars.
But the Blairite and Tory governments have had absolutely no wish to do good by their people, they’ve preferred wringing their hands while the inequality rose & more & more children grew up in dire poverty.
