In Foundation for Economic Education’’s YouTube series “Undoctrination”, Jess Gill, LOLA’s Social Media & Communications Manager discusses with host and liberty advocate, Maggie Anders how leftist policies, including Britain’s National Health System, have negatively impacted healthcare in the country.
She discussed the impact of the National Health Service (NHS) and COVID-19 lockdowns in the UK. Jess shares personal stories, including her grandmother’s reluctance to use NHS services due to a sense of guilt over potentially taking resources away from others. The conversation touches on the intense lockdown measures in the UK, where people were only allowed limited outings, such as one walk per day, and how these restrictions affected daily life, education, and public sentiment.
Jess also talks about her political journey, beginning with her involvement in the Labour Party and shifting towards conservatism during the lockdowns. This change was influenced by a lack of nuanced perspectives on platforms like TikTok and her desire to provide a pro-free market viewpoint. She reflects on how lockdowns and major events, such as the Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests, significantly shaped public opinion and political activism, both in the UK and globally.
