    One may as well marvel at the fact that selective schools achieve better exam results.
    Really? Then why does the Netherlands health service come top in access and second in equity, but sixth in outcomes? By your logic, it should come bottom.

    Dutch people are healthy though. Not a fair comparison.

    Look at the millions of fat, useless guzzlers the NHS has to try and keep alive. No wonder they are dropping like flies.

    I'll take that. They should use that as a slogan.

    Of course I won't be boring enough to point out that it's anything but free. That would be tedious.

    Ryanair isn't free but it may as well be when compared to other airlines. It’s also ****, you have to sit next to disease-ridden scum hacking their guts up and you stand a reasonable chance of being killed.

    The NHS of the skies

    That's a sweeping generalisation, you know.

    There are a lot of very hard-working people patching up the wounded and repairing the ill. The fact that I've had some negative experiences myself does not turn me against the organisation as a whole.

    No-one said there weren't. And I'm sure that's just as much the case in other, better healthcare systems.
