Credit to the NHS (A memo for members of Team Twunt)

***FOR TEAM TWUNT EYES ONLY***

You may have noticed this recent report regarding Standard & Poor's shot across the bows to G20 countries that they risk credit rating downgrades if they don't 'reform (1)' their healthcare costs. Now given Gidiot's dogged like attachment to the argument that austerity was in part to maintain the UK credit rating this represents an opportunity. OK ...he may have ballsed-up his execution but that's not the point. We should increasingly be using this threat of a credit downgrade as an argument for NHS spending cuts....especially in the run up to the next election. Positive reports that the NHS is among the best and cheapest healthcare systems in the world should be suppressed or ignored. This should not be too hard in the post-Francis era. We have to get this message on repeat NOW to soften up the public for the post 2015 cuts. And keep the 'The NHS is safe in our hands!" message on repeat...

Yours
The Twunt

(1) 'Cut'
