So, due to US ideological propaganda, US media censored the part where the British do their ideological propaganda bit?

Well, at least the censorship was not paid by tax payer money… unlike the propaganda bit by the British, that was fully paid by taxpayer money.

The NHS is genuinely loved by most British people, for all it's faults. Not celebrating it would have been very weird. So not really propaganda, just showing the world the things we are proud of.

Feel free to censor it on your end if you find the very idea dangerous.

Every Brit has used the NHS multiple times.

It's far from perfect but no propaganda is ever required, just direct experience.

What a weird worldview, celebrating censorship that aligns with corporate interests in healthcare, a basic necessity, while using the tired diatribe "but muh tax money!" to pathetically drum support for it, lol.

Aren't you tired of being so angry at the wrong stuff? Such an exhausting way to live.

The NHS is a bit like the NRA in the US. Politicians and rich folk would ideally do away with it, but they cannot, so they have to play lip service to gain favour with the public.

So its not propaganda in the way you are thinking of.
