Misleading health claims

It was predictable that, as a BBC publication, you would omit, when recording the birth of the NHS, any mention of whose government ordered the Beveridge Report, and whose PM stated in a 1943 broadcast that they promised a scheme of health protection “from cradle to grave, after the war”. Nye Bevan was no more than the inheritor when the government changed, and bragged about his “achievement”. His devious poster, sly and misleading, is the only splash of vivid colour in your entire feature. Tim Topps, Oxford
