As Britain continues to plough billions into overseas aid and funding medical care for foreigners, St Mary's hospital in Paddington faces closure as managers at the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust consider drastic measures to try and cut the trusts £100million of debt.
A number of architects have been asked to give quotes for turning St Marys into 3,000 flats.
Given the rapidly shifting demographics in London - aka colonisation - want to take a bet on who will end up in many of those flats should the plans go ahead?
As a whole the NHS faces cutting £20billion from its budget over a four year period - whilst, at the same time, we'll be spending well in excess of that on foreign aid.
Much in the NHS may need reforming, not helped by the insanely corrupt and burdensome Private Finance Initiative, but it is simply absurd that our NHS faces closures whilst we can find huge amounts to spend on foreign aid.
Day after day we hand out money abroad like it is going out of fashion, and then see our own hospitals close because of debts.
Our population is growing rapidly, and looks set to continue to do so, yet we're going to end up with less hospitals who have less money to spend.
There is just no way that quality of care cannot suffer, and that hospital waiting lists won't end up growing.
Just how that can be in Britains interest is anyones guess.
