The NHS needs to change fundamentally. It's a fragmented service when it should be joined-up. It's a last-minute crisis intervention service when it should be about prevention.

That's the National Guard's National Guard, an Army of None.

If all our friends in the peace movement or of service communities of any kind do not love and help each other, whom can we love and help?
