Two tier service

BBC News are claiming that the families of armed forces members are to get ’streamlined’ access to NHS treatment and school places - ie, they get to jump the queue. Of course, getting things to forces’ families quicker is a good thing in theory, but since we’re talking about public services with waiting lists that means that everyone else is pushed back.

So the soldier who needs NHS treatment on his/her return gets it quicker than other people who need treatment. I’m sure that’ll be of great comfort to the families of the people who will die unnecessarily thanks to their treatment being delayed because they don’t kill people for the government for a living
