“The NHS should be untouchable now for generations and generations" Biffy Clyro frontman Simon Neil has hit out at Prime Minister Boris Johnson, criticising the Conservative government’s treatment of the NHS before and during the coronavirus crisis.
Neil was speaking to NME for this week’s Big Read when he took aim at “heinous lump of beef” Johnson and “those Tory fuckers” for years of “neglect” when funding and prioritising the National Health Service. “The NHS should be untouchable now for generations and generations,” Neil said. “Make no mistake: Boris was a few months away from selling it off.
After he was ill [with coronavirus], he was like, ‘I owe them my life – I can never repay them’. Yes you can, you bastard: you owe them millions.
