National protests are breaking out over Virgin's bid to take over NHS primary care. On Monday the 17th March 40-50 people attended the Oxford protest -activists lobbying both entrances to the Oxford university venue.A new banner was commisioned for the occasion 'Virgin on theridiculous' featuring Richard Branson - clutching his assets!
Those who attended the Virgin event reported hard cash inducements to take part in the project- one familydoctor commented that it was a full 20 minutes before the word'patients' was mentioned.
The demonstration was backed by health unions, the Trades UnionCouncil, and greetings came from pensioners, NHS activists and postworkers.
