Some things in this world are worth venerating, praising and respecting. Your peaceful deity, great art and artists, scientific achievement along with military and civilian heroes, these are all things that are worthy of respect.

What is not worth that degree of respect is third rate socialist healthcare systems like the National Health Service (NHS). Even those of us who believe that having a comprehensive and broadly accessible healthcare system for a nation’s people is a good thing cannot bring ourselves to prostrate ourselves before the limping golden calf that is Britain’s NHS.

Blindly respecting or worshipping the NHS is in my view one of the worst forms of idol worship that there is in Britain today. This is because those who do so are not worshipping anything that is wholly good but is often lethal and dangerous for those who use it.

This situation where the NHS is unsafe for those who use it is going to get worse when assisted suicide or euthanasia becomes legal if or rather when the assisted suicide bill gets rammed through Parliament by the governing Labour Party.

A guy called Ian over on the X platform has summed up may of our worries about how an already awful NHS will behave once the legal option of killing patients is fully on the menu.

Ian said:

The grotesque veneration of a state healthcare bureaucracy by the British – something seen nowhere else on earth – is reaching its grim, murderous, horribly inevitable conclusion with the state’s attempts to legalise assisted death. It will be weaponised by the state bureaucracy to kill people, I am sure of it.

Ian is right on all counts here. Firstly regarding the veneration of the NHS which as he says happens nowhere else on Earth, is indeed a dangerous thing to have in a society. We don’t see the French or the Germans or the Americans lauding their healthcare systems as a sort of saviour that brings heaven on earth. They bitch and moan about their healthcare systems and its faults as they should do but they don’t put their healthcare systems on a pedestal and treat them as if they were the nation’s god. Secondly coupling this state encouraged worship of a third rate healthcare system is going to make the state’s healthcare bureaucracy blasé about killing its more costly and inconvenient patients. The combination of a healthcare system that the public are encouraged to worship with state sanctioned murder is going to turn Britain’s health care system into a modern day Moloch with all that that implies.
