Just a former health secretary openly calling for £20 charges per GP visit & £66 per trip to A&E. This has always, always been the government’s NHS agenda. Outsource, privatise, make you pay (again). Anyone seriously believe Sunak doesn’t want the same? theguardian.com/politics/202…

Where better than BOURDA BAZAAR to do holiday season shopping, to enjoy a Guyanese atmosphere, authentic Guyanese food & drinks, to buy the cassareep needed for your Christmas Pepperpot? And if you have unwanted books, bring them with you. We'll send them to schools in Guyana!
