At my age very little puts me off my food ..... but bloody hell

 

I actually believe that Brexit will be the end of the NHS, as a free at the point of use, service. Maybe not immediately but a few years down the road.
There is, IMO, a reason for the chronic underfunding, which pressurises doctors and nurses into leaving.
Stopping the nurses bursary, at a time when we are short of staff, putting off people training as nurses, when we should perhaps have increased it to encourage enlistment, is a deliberate choice of the government.
Brexit now has EU born doctors and nurses going back home, with fewer coming in to replace them, further reducing the workforce, creating more instability. And those EU doctors and nurses who do stay can’t trust this Government to guarantee their right to live here, beyond Brexit, simply because of the way they have treated the Windrush generation.
Add in the number of MPs who are pro insurance based health care I think offering chunks of the NHS to American companies will be seen as a way to obtain better trade deals with the USA.
The big pharmaceutical companies, in America, are already whining that the NHS doesn’t pay enough for it’s drugs, so I think we are screwed. And the people who will suffer the most because of this will be the ones that statistically voted to remain - the younger generations.

 

Imps is on holiday in Portugal, one last chance to say goodbye to the out-laws!

 

although he may just have moved to Elincolno!

 

Can´t remember when I last saw that in the Sun!!

 

I don't see anything in the Sun, haven't read it in years. I avoid Murdoch media as far as possible.

 

Are you remotely suggesting there used to be reading material in the Sun when you did read this particularly publication?

 

No not at all I stand corrected.

 

Nope I have been quite busy "discussing politics" and other things with some quite well known people online. No I'm not name dropping.

 

so what do you call yourself when you're talking to "quite well known people" as apposed to us bums?

 

Errr, by my actual name!! Is that a surprise? And you're not bums, you're all lovely people who have a different opinion to me on some things.

 

Fox off Murdock you casa

 

I can only assume, Imps, that after weeks of being asked to say something good about Brexit this is the best you can do. Now I can see that the country might be better off without Livingstone, but honestly. Barrels and scraping spring to mind, mate!

Apparently our economy is set to boom because of brexit..

 

If those who fear Brexit's effects are 'Operation Fear', is this 'Operation Acid Trip'?
