Hello, I've just watched a one hour doc (

) about the selling off of the NHS. I'd like to screen it somewhere in East Dulwich so more people will get to see it. Don't have any idea how to do this. I just know it's important that people understand what is happening and has been happening for some years in the NHS and what the implications are for all of the public. I know the film maker (Peter Bach) wants people to see the film. Anyone want to get on board and help me organise a public screening? Maybe upstairs in the EDT or another pub? Needs to be done soon. I look forward to hearing from you! We are all busy but this will affect us as we grow older and need treatments and our children do and our parents do so we can't hide from what's happening to the NHS.


Thanks.

Sarah Wallace

As long as everyone is aware that most primary care (e.g. GPs) has never been part of the NHS - GPs are private contractors who have a contract with the NHS (or the firms employing them do, for non-partnerhip practices), but are not themselves employed directly by the NHS - neither are (most) of their staff, although sometimes NHS staff, such as District Nurses and e.g. CBT therapists are based in GP premises.

    • Because land has been exempt from inheritance tax wealthy individuals (like Clarkson and Dyson) have used it as a tax avoidance measure. Clarkson is on the record stating that he bought land for precisely this purpose. It is people like him who farmers should be angry with, if anyone, because they have exploited a loophole, which is now, rightly being closed. Yes, I do grasp the concept of inheritance - it's were one is given money, or valuable assets by chance of birth (having done nothing to earn it). As money you have earned, is taxed, it seems odd that money you have not, shouldn't be. I assume you don't disapprove of income tax? Why do you think people coming into a massive, unearned windfall shouldn't pay tax, but a nurse who works hard for everything they earn, should? Everyone has to pay inheritance tax over a certain threshold. In my opinion, if you are fortunate enough to be gifted any amount of money, or valuable asset, to quibble about paying tax on it seems rather entitled. Most farms worth under £3m will still end up being passed on tax free. Those that do have to a pay inheritance tax will do so at just 20% (rather than the standard 40%), and they'll have 10 years to do so (usually it is payable immediately). So it is still preferential terms for those being gifted a multimillion pound estate. 
    • Ah yes, good spot! Thanks for the link. It sounds like they are planning a licensed restaurant with a small bar from reading through the application. 
    • I think your ISP has jumped the gun - told you about a change that isn't quite here. I agree with suggestion of https://www.aa.net.uk/ - i have been with them since ADSL was invented and found them helpful.
    • I’m younger than you but have received a couple of cheques in the past year or so. And also written one out. Depositing a cheque is actually less of a faff then setting up a new payee or sharing your details. Just open the app, go the section to deposit money and take a picture of the cheque.
