If the Tories win in 2015, you'll be able to add health care to the growing list.

Don't kid yourself Labour won't do the same. Anything for cash.

I highly doubt Labour would destroy their greatest achievement.

I didn't think they'd sell our gold reserves for a pittance, and yet...

Oh, and...
"Part of this division is built upon a myth – a boil that needs to be lanced. We’re so used to Labour politicians churning out the line that Labour gave us the NHS, that we’ve begun to unthinkingly accept it. When Ian McCartney MP celebrated Labour’s centenary in 2006, he actually shed a tear for the NHS as Labour’s greatest triumph. Anyone familiar with 1940s history will tell you that this version of events is a cruel lie.

The NHS owes its existence to the climate of wartime British politics, not least the vastly expanded access to basic healthcare which came with conscription, and the subsequent rise in expectations. "

It's a bit like Labour writing an article about the Tories, it's bound to be biased.
