This is indeed an absolute red herring The real "privatisation" is the running down of the service to the point where anyone who can afford it, and has an actual life to get on with, pays to go private Leaving NHS as a last-resort, ER-type service

John Lewis to cease publishing weekly trading figures with effect from, er, now. Cites new partnership reporting structure as reason. The fact that the figures have been dismal for months must be a coincidence

@mrjamesob @McDermottQC I do hope Chris Whitty is keeping a diary A suitably revealing “Journal of the Plague Year” would surely fly off the shelves (Preferably just before the 2024 election...)
