Rod Stewart (78) is considered a member of the working class and before his global career worked, among other things, as a gravedigger.

Now the man with the hoarse voice has lost his temper. On a call-in show on Sky News, the singer (who has sold more than 250 million records) lashed out at the British government.

The program was about the island’s health system. Stewart called her condition “heartbreaking.” It is a “bad time” for Britain. Responsible for this: Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party.

“The government should resign now”

“Personally, I’m a long-time Conservative, but I think this government should resign now and let the Labor Party have a go,” the musician said.

In his criticism, Rod Stewart mainly referred to two points: the situation of health system employees and the shortage of early detection exams in patients with suspected cancer.

The “Sailing” singer was battling cancer. Stewart reported that he recently visited a private clinic that was “empty.” “That’s ridiculous,” because, on the other hand, “people die because scans are not done.” The rock star offered to cover the costs of up to 20 such screenings.

Health system in catastrophic condition

The British healthcare system is chronically weak and is currently in a catastrophic state. Wait times for medical appointments are at record levels: in emergency rooms, patients sometimes have to wait more than twelve hours before being seen. At the same time, nurses and the like periodically go on strike to demand more money and better working conditions.

There is currently no solution in sight to the problems of the British two-party system.

“In all my years in this country, I have never seen it this bad. “Change the damn government,” roared Rod Stewart, who obviously knows his privilege: he is a private patient because he has “a few shillings.” For the population, he called for rebuilding the health system “with billions and billions” of pounds.
