The millionaires that currently run things have decided that you (assuming you’re not a member of the Bullingdon Club, or a trustafarian) can go f*** yourself. This place is for them, not you. Why should you get free healthcare? Why can’t they take that big pot of money ear-marked for medicine and just start sharing it out amongst themselves?
Hound is a candidate for the National Health Action Party, an apparently respectable organisation founded by a former MP and the Chair of the NHS Consultants Association. If a member of Ukip used such intemperate, inflammatory language, Nigel Farage would be forced to disown him or her. Shouldn't the National Health Action Party do likewise?
I posed this question to the Party on Twitter last night and it wasn't long before Hound himself weighed in. As you'll see, he's in no mood to repent.
-Read article for Twitter exchanges between Rufus Hound and Toby Young-
So basically summed up: Rufus Hound believes that David Cameron wants children to die and that the NHS shouldn't be privatised and should remain 'free' - even though the NHS isn't free and you pay a lot more than you would under a private healthcare system. Rufus dufus.

You have the likes of Bill Nigh backing a 'Robin Hood' campaign for higher taxes on the rich yet seemingly has nothing to say on tax avoiders like Jimmy Carr and Sir Richard Branson who both did or do avoid tax. Richard Branson is the same, warning that if we leave the EU we'll risk firms relocating offshore DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE JUST DID THAT HIMSELF TO A NON-EU COUNTRY.
The same goes for many American stars - posing as the saviours and 'equality' and 'fairness' champions of the poor despite the fact that they themselves have millions in the bank. What's stopping them from donating that money directly or indirectly to the Government? Nothing. I have NEVER been convinced by very rich people telling everybody else that they should pay even MORE tax to the Government. Never. If actors and those in the arts want to get involved in politcs then let's see them criticise eachother for once as most of their personal affairs don't tend to match what they say in public. Ain't that right, Rufus?
And for the record, I don't have a problem with tax avoidance - as far as i'm concerned, the Government taking 50% of even 30% to 40% of your wage is verging on the criminal. It's utter theft. But at least i'm consistent in that I don't advocate at the same time higher taxes. I think we should have lower taxes for EVERYBODY so that tax avoidance loses it's attractiveness. What pisses me off is luvvies like Hound and Co preaching to everybody else in a holier than thou manner. It irks me beyond belief. I turn the TV off whenever one of them comes on.
Thoughts?
