Personally - they should have kept the NI changes in place (it affected me probably the worse). Next time there is an NHS crisis - anyone who criticises lack of investment - need to have a think back to this decision - and whether you supported it or not.
Did different people write those two paragraphs?

1. I am amazed how different people react (depending on political viewpoint) when a Govt reverses a previous decision

Amazed? Life must be a circus of wonder if this obvious shit still amazes you.
So just to clarify, if there is a crisis in the NHS (if, lol) then you would place the blame squarely on the people who opposed this NI rise? Not the people who run it?

Also as an aside, what a bad example some of the MPs set, happily tapping away on their mobiles/laptops during the speeches! All engaged on official Parliamentary business of course.
Oh boy, didn't it 'arf! He didn't look too smug today did he.
