What could possibly go wrong?
A National Health Service (NHS) trust in the UK has announced that it will deny treatment to patients it deems are ‘racists’ or ‘sexists’.
No, this is not the Onion.
The North Bristol NHS Trust said that “threatening and offensive language,” as well as “racist or sexist language, gestures or behaviour” and “malicious allegations” would all be punishable offenses.
Patients who commit such an infraction will be subject to a “sports-style disciplinary yellow card and then final red card in which treatment would be withdrawn as soon as is safe.”
“We have staff from many different backgrounds, from all over the world, and we pride ourselves on our commitment to equality which is a fundamental value of the NHS,” said Andrea Young, Chief Executive for North Bristol NHS Trust.
“We’re sending a strong signal that any racism or discrimination is completely unacceptable – we want staff to challenge and report it and we want everyone to know that it will have consequences,” she added.
The problem here of course is that the definition of what constitutes ‘racism’ or ‘sexism’ gets broader with each passing day.
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”.
Foster parents have also had children removed from their care by the state because they were supporters of UKIP and not vehement supporters of “multiculturalism.”
The University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust also ordered that the British flag be removed from security staff stab vests after one person complained that it was “offensive.”
This is even worse than China’s social credit score, which to my knowledge doesn’t yet 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.
This is where we’re at, and this is why the UK is truly the capital of Clown World Order.
Britain is finished. Allahu Akbar!
This is what happens when the children are in charge.
What if we did that here but with smokers and lardasses?
That video was so gross, but I did laugh! Be ready for a shock if you watch it.
Future U.S. headline: Democrats announced that it will deny treatment to patients it deems are ‘racists’ or ‘sexists’ (AKA Republicans).
If you are ever in a British Hospital, scream the N word the whole time!
It could save your life!
Social Credit Score in Action!
This is what happens when you put a “Social Scientist” in charge of Healthcare. Wait ‘till Elizabeth Warren gets elected. Not only are they going to grab our guns but then will deny us healthcare.
Perhaps this can be done here in the U.S.! For example, you can be chipped to receive data such as your credit score, social score, and federal state status! Those with minimum fico of 600 or better, when scanned, will show “600”. Those who have taken and passed the assigned social classes will show as passing score of “60”. The rest of us, will show a career score of 1 through 5 - depending on job status - with the exception of those who serve within the State, who will receive a “6”! I’m an evil genius!
The NHS manages most of the hospitals so if someone is a wrong thinker, this effectively denies them healthcare.
Google will provide the social credit scoring platform based on AI algorithms written to expose any and all types of conservative bias. This will backfire, creating a huge black market / Medical tourism. Good! Their system will implode as millions no longer pay because of their beliefs
Death penalty over a disagreement.
Sounds reasoned...
/s
That is incredible! Any nurse or doctor will tell you that people tend to “act out” more when they are in extreme pain or discomfort. It is a common human condition.”Gasp!” Such a person might even yell a cuss word or two!!
Wow, weaponized healthcare coming our way soon.
Well, if it comes to the US we’re at least armed well enough to kill the people trying to kill us.
This is all fine with me.....
as long they won’t take my money either.
(I doubt that will happen. The asshats that pass laws like this always seem to want somebody else to pay for them.)
LOL, I think you have a point.
We are getting closer to the end state of left wing tyranny and the masks are coming off - along with the gloves
Going full socialist (ala Soviet Union) where medical care is a political weapon.
