Patients deemed to be “racist” or “homophobic” will be denied care in NHS Trust hospitals under new rules set to take effect in April.
“Currently, staff can refuse to treat non-critical patients who are verbally aggressive or physically violent towards them,” reports Sky News. “But these protections will extend to any harassment, bullying or discrimination, including homophobic, sexist or racist remarks.”
Police will also be given new powers to prosecute “hate crimes” committed against NHS staff.
What is determined to be “racist” or “homophobic” is anyone’s guess, since many elderly patients will be totally unfamiliar with modern politically correct speech codes and could be deemed to have behaved in a racist or homophobic way even if they didn’t maliciously intend to.
As Jack Montgomery highlights, “In late 2017 an NHS patient who requested a female nurse to carry out a cervical smear complained when the hospital sent a person with “an obviously male appearance… close-cropped hair, a male facial appearance and voice, large number of tattoos and facial stubble” who insisted “My gender is not male. I’m a transsexual.”
The line between critical and non-critcal care is also up for debate. Will refusal to treat a patient because they said something someone deems offensive result in accidental deaths?
This is even worse than China’s social credit score, which hasn’t yet gone so far as to punish people by withdrawing medical treatment if they engage in wrongthink.
First it was deplatforming people from social media websites, then it was deplatforming people from bank accounts and mortgages. Now it’s deplatforming people from hospital treatment. Literally eliminating people’s right to basic health care because of their political or social opinions.
It’s also important to emphasize that these changes are coming in under a supposedly “conservative” government.

WW II was their downfall. The Brits lost much blood and treasure and most of their empire by the time the war was over. ;)

Because the psychopaths in the British government didn't want Germany to get half of Poland. They preferred that the Bolsheviks get all of Poland and half of the rest of Europe.

I have never heard anything like this before. Germany and Russia split Poland about 1/3 for Germany and 2/3 for Russia. This is not the first time in history that Poland was wiped off the map.
How do you figure the British wanted the Bolsheviks to get all of Poland? That is ridiculous. When Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939 it was one week after the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.
Britain declared war on Germany September 3, 1939. It took two days for them to respond.
When Hitler marched troops into the Ruhr River valley and the British and French did nothing, he knew he had them whipped. ;)

Because the British helped the Bolsheviks defeat Germany even while the Bolsheviks were occupying and destroying Poland. Ever heard of the Katyn massacre?

Of course. That was the massacre of Polish officers by the Reds. The Reds blamed it on Germany. The body count was approximately 22,000.
So what's your point? ;)
