Now Then, Now Then, How's About That, Then?

Jimmy Savile was the poster boy for the last programme of NHS privatisation, the attempt to make its funding dependent on private charity. The result was inevitable.

Not restricted to, but nevertheless including, his spending of every New Year's Eve with Margaret Thatcher, her eventual overriding of the entire vetting process in order to have him knighted at her fourth attempt, and her fawning video tribute to him during his second appearance on This Is Your Life.

Expect a lot more of this sort of thing in the privatised NHS that is already very far advanced due to the refusal of the BBC to report the process, a fault of which we might hope for some correction while Nick Robinson is incapacitated.

Likewise in the schools.

Take as deep a breath as you need to, and I know whereof I speak on that score. But take it, and then vote Labour.
