'Keep Jabbing and Carry on Cautiously' is a wonderful comedy film from the 70s starring Kenneth Willams, Barbara Windsor and Bernard Bresslaw...

[Slipstream]

What NHS? I can't even get a doctors appointment. May aswell defund the NHS and go private.

[SaintUncleStephen]

One minute it's coping, then it's under huge amounts of pressure and overwhelmed, then it's coping again?
Are they just trying to get a rise out of us at this point?

[roberttungatt]

The NHS has been “coping” for years. Thats the problem.

[vince]

They don't know what's coming down the road.get ready people.

[Bonypart]

Ah, the tactless, rude and arrogant Burley. Yet another reason to switch channels.

[ilonamorland]

Of course they're coping they coped for the last 18m, we all saw the hospitals, so this coping rubbish is exactly that, rubbish.

[denniss]

Sky News is so pathetically doom and gloom.

[davidbigley]

They should be, they are doing sod all!

[carlconner]

Don't know what people waste there money on sky TV when they tell all lies

[Jerry]

The amount of staff the nhs have I would be worried if they couldn't cope.

[zzz]

Why more restrictions and protecting people if most of them are happily 😊 vaccinated ...??

Are vaccines a successful story rewarding the vaccinated with freedom pass??

[petera]

Let’s see them do a shift at an nhs hospital !

[norestforthewicked]

[norestforthewicked]

Stick the buster where the sun don't shine

[paulrickett]

Why is that hideous woman still at sky?

[jacko]

The NHS has never been anywhere near collapse. It has however, failed us miserably. We're all due a refund of our NI payments.

[nayshagane]

If the NHS is coping, then why was a toddler who went into seizure left waiting 2 Hours for an ambulance?
