DAVID Cameron’s destruction of the NHS is arguably the worst crime committed by a UK government against its people in generations.

He is dismantling a much-loved and precious institution, while lying that he is not; he is either terribly stupid, or just plain greedy for the power and profit.

The NHS represents everything the British people hold dear.

It is integral to our culture and, as Danny Boyle demonstrated at the 2012 Olympics, it helps define Britain, symbolising fairness and working together for a common good.
