   NIHILISM is the belief that life, existence itself, has no ultimate, cosmic or eternal meaning or significance. From this perspective, it is, thus, a void.

   Consequently, it would follow that reality has no truth or morality of its own, that it cannot, and does not, speak for itself and that, as a further consequence, that it cannot, and does not, care.

   As a result, there are those who despise both nihilism and nihilists because they believe that if nihilism is true then there is nothing to stop someone becoming a Nazi, a terrorist or in general leading both terrible and destructive lives.

   Nihilism, then, is ultimately the view that life must be lived without ultimate grounds or foundations, that such things, where they exist, are pure invention.

   This, I believe, makes it politically interesting.

   At its extreme end point, the #NHS crisis is further illustrated by the warnings continued in coroners' reports on deaths in #healthcare; these warnings are rising but remain largely ignored.

   Of course, coroner's see the same thing everyone else does; over worked staff & under-resourced services, as well as Govt. whose only aim is to raise the proportion of us using private health care.

   As @TCatInReality says: you can have the NHS or the Tories but you can't have both!
