Did you read the part about the super-glue? Wow. I mean - I have no comment on this. That's pretty disturbing.

I've 'treated' my own teeth before now when I was a student. That possibly says more about me as a student than the NHS however. I go private now, nothing like paying for something twice.

So you can understand the politics that has led to this and what 'left' really means: Several years ago the extreme left in our governing, pseudo left, party persuaded the leadership of an extraordinary idea which many find hard to grasp. It goes like this: The state should behave fairly to all citizens, therefore anything the state gives to one person it should give to everyone, therefore the state can't give any tangible object to someone wihtout giving the same to everyone, therefore state opthalmology (glasses), state prosthetics (artificial limbs) must be stopped, presumably fillings and teeth braces as well, because the state can't give them to everyone ( I don't need an aritificial leg ) they shouldn't give them to anyone, "IT'S NOT FAIR" they wail. This policy was adopted, yes in secret, by the Labour party and only leaked out a couple of years ago. The leadership went along with this left wing insanity not because they agreed with it but because it gives them an opportunity to do a very non leftist thing, destroy a bunch a state services so that public opinion will accept their eventual privatisation. This is the way British politics works, only when the interests of the loony left and the totalitarian right coincide does anything actually get done.:( No pehaps you see why 'left' means something different in Europe to what it means on your patch.
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

Are your fillings homemade out of aluminum foil? I think that would be best, because you never know what kind of transmitters those state dentists might place in your mouth.

I agree that it's caused by an ideological unwillingness to accept means tested access to NHS services - one that crosses the floor. That doesn't add up to a left wing conspiracy to privatise the NHS. And how the hell is privatisation 'authoritarian'?

I have no fillings, neither do I have a dentist, state or otherwise. FYI Your obsession with the worlds third most common element is becoming tiresome, to add to being childish and making you look like a prat.

Great! I know one time I got a filling by a "dentist" who I suspected was actually a "CIA agent" (who, of course, would just be an agent from the Skull and Bones Society). After a few hours, I started hearing voices so I immediately yanked it out of my mouth with some pliars. The voices didn't stop, however, which makes me think that the novacaine injection must have placed a transmitter into my bloodstream. I read on IlluminatiKillers.com that an aluminum helmet would help me out by blocking the bidirectional "beams" between the transmittor and Skull and Bones HQ. It seemed to work (sometimes). Hence my obsession with aluminum.

No. you missed the point, the pseudo left wing Labour leadership have conned the genuine but crazy left which they despise by going along with an insanely PC policy because it suits their crypto fascist agenda. They want to privatise the NHS but can't admit to wanting to do so. They have to appear to be reluctantly giving in to the public opinion they have covertly engineered. Privatisation is not 'authoritarian' but persuing the opposite policy from your stated policy is a necessary part of a one-party totalitarian state that appears to have two parties. Totalitarian because it negates democracy by replacing it with a false choice between two parties who's apparently opposed policies will achieve the same results in the medium to long term, e.g. privatisation of the NHS, starting with all the bits that can easily make a profit.

At least we have dentists: the story is a little misleading in that she could have opted for treatment at a dental teaching hospital or paid to go private (it is really not that expensive here). My family long ago gave up any pretence, however, at national health dentists and have been private for a long time. On another note British teeth are not quite like Mike Myers would have you believe: I had braces as a youngster (a long time ago) and none of my kids has a single filling and all have straight white teeth. I do know of many in the US who have no access to dental care at all so pot, kettle and black to you.

Dentistry is expensive. But if you are a child, or perhaps unemployed or indeed are receiving some other state benefit such as child benefit, or you are pregnant or recently had a live birth, or you are a Pensioner, you have a statutory right to be seen by a dentist and have work done without costs to you as a claimant of some qualifying benefit. The problem is that dentistry practices, like good capitalists, want to earn as much money as possible. The British National Health Service publishes a price list to dentists stating what the maximum the state will pay per type of treatment. This price list is somewhat below what dentists could get by offering a "private" service. Consequently, the number of dentists who perform NHS services has fallen and this has an adverse effect upon the localized populations. As such, in areas where good HNS dental services is lacking, people do indeed take the solution to their dental problems into their own hands. And if some non-specific urgent/vital dental treatment is required by any person, irrespective if the do or do not have a registered dentist, arrangements are in place that will afford you private dental services at taxpayers expense. Thus the situation that recently occurred in America where a boy child had to die because the family could not afford insurance and apparently did not qualify for any USA state sponsored dentistry.

now isn't that the over arching problems with socialist approaches? capitalism is a natural state.
Mike The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.
