The Torys(conservatives)

Step one; underfund public service
Step two; Overwork, underpay, and over manage. workers until all the good ones move on.
Step three; Act sad about how public services just don't work and insist it must be privatized
Step four; "Sell" its assets to friends, cronies, and relatives for 10% of their value.
Step five; fuck over the public who have to pay for something they need and can't get elsewhere.

It worked for academies, trains, and water companies. so why not the NHS

Seems to be the guiding principles for every conservative party in every nation, cripple the system, then blame the ~~system~~ people for not doing better.
