The problem with some of this debate seems to be the underlying premise to many of the comments that all 'profit' is unethical. We should remember that the vast majority of our population works in the private sector and the vast majority of people behave ethically to provide good products and services from their organistions in order to make a decent living to pay their mortgages and bring up their children etc. These same people have ambitions to earn more and be successful for their families just like people in the private sector. Profit funds this and allows people to grow and support others.

NHS workers pay, pensions and benefits are paid for by the hard work of taxpayers and the very same seeming dirty unethical profit that keeps most of those taxpayers in work.
