Manchester – The National Health Service (NHS)
Since its inception in 1948, the NHS has been a cornerstone of British society, symbolising our commitment to healthcare for all, free at the point of use. It is a system we hold dear, and rightly so, as it embodies the principles of equity and compassion. However, like any institution, it has its share of challenges and successes.
In this talk, our own Garcia will discuss this topic from the perspective of working within the NHS as well as experiences when using the NHS. She will draw on her role as a Registered Mental Health Nurse and highlight the challenges she faced in wake of the reality of our crumbling NHS. She will discuss objectively how the NHS has weathered the storms of crisis and lack of investment in light of recent government changes and spending.
Come and join the discussion
You are warmly invited to join us at The Briton’s Protection in Manchester, for our next meeting on Tuesday 22nd October 2024 at 19:30.
Please note the change of venue from our usual location in Prestwich.
We are growing!
We are expanding our activities via regional Politics in Pubs groups and have created a map where you can search for a group near you. Our latest group in Ilkley is actively looking for new members and if you live in the area please contact them via email.
Don't worry if you can't find anything nearby as you can start your own group. If you would like to be put in touch with other people interested in talking about politics, please reply to this email letting us know your location and we'll help to get the conversation started.
We have also started to grow our network with other free speech groups who have a similar interest in open discussion and debate. If you have such a group and want to appear on our map please get in touch.
Upcoming Events
Manchester – Cancelling Cancel Culture presents What does it mean to be ‘English’ in 2024? Sunday 13th October 2024, 2pm
Why is it ok to be proud to be Scottish, Welsh, Irish, etc, but being proud to be English is somehow negative. Is there such a thing as “English Values?” “English Identity?” Why do many in the political establishment and in the media treat any sentiment of English populism and pride with such disdain, branding this as far right, fascist or racist? Please join us upstairs at The Briton’s Protection, 50 Great Bridgewater Street, Manchester M1 5LE to analyse these questions and more.
