I may have to stop watching these as they raise my blood-pressure and leave me despairing that there is anything to be done.

This was a superb piece. Well done. I will repost it on my blog, if I may. BOM is providing the service the MSM fails to provide and as many people as possible need to read it - and see these pieces to camera.
Excellent piece - well done.
What are the chances of Mad Patsy responding via Youtube? She's like a patronising dalek.
Absolute disgrace thank God people like you are watching this bunch of marxists as they ruin this country from top to bottom.
Now i understand better, when i have to make a night-stand from an old coat-hanger for my incontinant patients night bag, after begging weeks on end for a stand without any success at all.
We should be demonstrating and not just accepting everything!
Veronica- I really feel for you lot on the frontline. We know you're doing your best in a wildly dysfunctional system. And I know from reading the Doc, and listening to members of my own family that it can be hell.
And I completely agree that we out here shouldn't just be playing the helpless victim.
But what's best to do? I believe that we need the choice and competition model advocated by Reform and others. Among other things, I think that would transform your working lives by putting you into organisations whose prime focus was serving customers, not politicos.
And such real change can only come once enough people understand that the current structure of top-down public services will never deliver the standards and value we expect.
Demonstrations have a role where the object is straightforward- like the Poll Tax, or maybe a hospital closure.
But here, I'm not quite sure what we'd be demonstrating for.
More taxpayers' money? We've already had loads of that, and we can see it hasn't worked (and it's vital everyone understands that)
Stop the "reforms"? But then what?
I reckon the major structural change I'd like to see in the NHS needs much more awareness of the alternatives among voters, and a much greater willingness to contemplate them.
Our spineless office-seeking politicos will certainly not lead, and will only act need the voters to DEMAND change.
And step one is to reach a clear consensus that the Big Government road is the wrong one.
Yes, yes sounds very controversial and has even the most gung-ho investigative journal crying into their keyboards in frustration that they weren't born with a pair like this guy.
But I digress.
Apart from some anonymous pie charts, the daily mirror and his arse this fellow is a little short on sources.
Insights into the NHS supercomputer (?! Maybe he means NPfit?), the economics of staff recruitment and hospital closures make me even more certain of his credentials as a qualified voice on the subject.
I mean come on guys, the world just isn't this simple. Do a little research and find the other sides of the stories (the ones the mirror and the mail don't for some reason present you with). The NHS is a grotesquely large organisation that eats money and shits daily rag friendly headlines.
Although I for one vote that they increase funding for dentistry in this dude's local trust.
Just to let you know our MindFields College blog has linked to this video to promote it more!
