Thats true, but no one knows whats best for Britain for certain. The common market was fine and should have been left at that. The future I would have taken would to have included Russia, Turkey and the Middle East in it but I'm a bit of a dreamer.
What a sorry, sorry mess this country is in. We are like puppets to the extremist politicians of both sides, whilst staring at the politicians in the middle ground, asking WTF? Maybe the election should be postponed and we have another vote, with the options: Leave with a deal Leave without a deal (added together with ‘leave with a deal’ & highest vote leads) to confirm the country wants to leave) Stay in Europe Honor that vote......yeh, whatever, lol. Then start the election, but sack each and every of the 650 present MPs (along with their cohorts) and do not ever let them stand for re-election again. Well, they have all led us a merry dance, let’s see them go out back to work. Chaos would follow, obviously.......so no change then really.........when was the UK’s last military coup?....lol
I’m type 1 diabetic (not self inflicted but since I was 2). If the NHS goes I will be up **** creak health wise (let alone taking into account that I also work fir the NHS!)
all of europe america canada are private in fact i don't know of another country who have a NHS, ours is being abused too much
You know how much it costs people with diabetes and how rife that system is for abuse? https://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/21/...ncrease-in-a-drugs-price-raises-protests.html
I am not alone in being alive because of the NHS. How the health service is paid for, including mental health and social (old age provision) is something politicians dodge. Undoubtedly the bulk of it should be from general taxation, with billionaires and the big companies paying little tax has to change. But despite what Corbyn says to increase funding significantly means increases in taxes for all and perhaps older people selling their homes.. Some honesty is required about funding all govt spending. However expecting politicians to be honest...about raising taxes?
But for some reason we are all up in arms about the super rich being taxed more, despite it clearly being of benefit. People are making excuses for tax dodging by huge firms that could pay their real tax x100 and never feel the pinch. Instead they're paying 1% of the tax they should and we are arguing about how much will be passed on to us as tax. It's pretty clear how Corbyn plans to fund this, and it ain't by taxing us more, it's by taxing the people at the ludicrous levels of wealth who use offshore shenanigans to avoid it.
For those who want privatisation, do think about this: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/06/the-valeant-meltdown-and-wall-streets-major-drug-problem Just think about that. You could be doing really well in life, and this absolutely corrupt system will ruin your entire life because you're unlucky enough to fall ill. How anyone can be blase about it is mental.
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money... because the richest people in the UK will move offshore to avoid it.
I’ve got type 2 diabetes and it costs me nowt, in fact I’m better off as I get every medicine for any ailment free as you get free prescriptions plus I also get free eye tests, If this is any different for type 1 then I apologise in advance as I don’t know what happens with their medicines but I cannot see it being any different. Kinds of puts your argument to bed
That type of soundbite is ridiculous. Corbyn is barely able to enact any form of realistic socialism given the constraints around him. The problem is that people make excuses for people like Philip Green, who wants all the perks of living and working in the UK without paying the tax, and look at the way he ****ed over workers. There are people who will take his place if he leaves and actually goes to 'live' with his 'wife' in Monaco. The reality is he's been gaming the system for decades and he paid us back by shafting ordinary people en masse. It'll happen against soon too, with Topshop.
The post was about the US sorry, the NHS is incredible, yeah we pay tax, but it's naive to think we'd pay less tax if they abolished the NHS and made us all go private. More likely we'd slowly find the NHS phased out and privatised on the sly, partial insurance etc while we paid the same amount of tax, until one day we had the absolute scam of healthcare US style.
