First party political post: Reform UK and our NHS

This is the first party political post on Madaba.info

I don't normally tend to get involved in party politics but I want to vent so here we go!

In short, I believe that Christianity demands universal health care, free at the point of use.

I think that Reform UK are against this, and to me that makes them anti-Christian

Read the gospels and you will see that Jesus Christ clearly has an interest in healing the ill, and did so out of compassion and concern, not for money

He healed all, asking for nothing in return

Christianity is all about being concerned for the welfare of your fellow humans and about building up a caring community

That is what Mark 12:31 is all about: "love your neighbour as yourself"

In 2012 the current leader of Reform UK, Nigel Farage said:

“I think we are going to have to move to an insurance-based system of healthcare”

Which would mean abolishing the NHS as we know it

Let’s have a bit of a closer look

Who are this “we”?

It does not mean “we” the British people, that’s for sure

Abolishing the NHS would be objectively bad for us and make our lives worse

It means Nigel Farage’s chums in the Financial Class, of which he is clearly a part

The Financial Class would profit greatly from privatising the NHS, as they do in the USA where people pay through the nose for health coverage which more often than not does not pay out

Of course those people would like us to privatise our NHS, they would profit greatly from that by “providing” us with health insurance!

Also, what does he mean by “have to”?

If the meaning of life is to line the pockets of the Financial Class at the expense of the ordinary people then yes, we do have to do that – but thankfully it isn’t!

A vote for Reform UK would be a vote for national self-harm

Nigel Farage will try and distract the electorate with riots, minorities, wokeism, boat people, indolent verminous dole scum and the like – but at the end of the day, our health and our health service would not be safe in his hands

In my mind, Nigel Farage not being fully committed to the principles of the NHS means he is unfit to be our Prime Minister. I believe that his views about the NHS are counter to both the views and interests of the British people
