NHS

samedi 9 décembre 2023 à 11:35

The Tory strangulation of Britain's National Health Service is achieving its effect: millions of Britons are now limited to private medical treatment. Often they cannot afford that, so they are without medical treatment at all.

Greece and Turkey

samedi 9 décembre 2023 à 11:35
