but the vast majority of people do not have access to the private sector options and as much as some people would prefer to pay for only what they use if there wasn't a basic standard of health and education provided then the have nots would become a dangerous underclass. For most the state options are the only options and from my experience I've never felt the need to look beyond that despite having 3 children so I am a constant user of these services. Its accident of birth that says that if my children needed private I could find the money to do that but if I couldn't and there was no state option then they would be denied the basic tools to give them the opportunity to make of their lives what they can. I can see no logic in any arguments that would deny someone from birth a health service and an education regardless of their parents' financial position. As a country we invest in those that will be the next generation of workers and though we can debate how well those services are run the fact the vast majority of people are happy to invest in that makes me proud to be British. Well done us for being generally f~cking ace in our attitude towards each other and long may we continue to give each and everyone of us the basic resources to use and flourish or to squander - at least we've all had a chance.
:omg: you mean socialists?
sorry, couldn't resist ;)
