When Labour came to power in 1997, a staggering 283,866 people were waiting 6 months or more for an operation.
By 2007 the number was down to 199.
Just one astonishing fact I came across while recording this and it's a reminder that government really can change things - for the better.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.
