My next door neighbour had a home in Florida until he sold it earlier this year because he could not stand Trump and what he is doing to the country. On his final visit he was bitten by an insect and his arm started to swell at an alarming rate. He took himself off to the hospital where he was kept locked out simply because he only had French credit cards, which the hospital wouldn't accept. One of his American neighbours came to his rescue with her credit cards, and they let him into the hospital. A doctor came to see him, gave him a pill of some sort, and charged him $495 for two minutes of his time.
My friends home was on an estate where the residents had regular management meetings, and they all hated Trump. We should not forget either that he has the job despite the majority of Americans not voting for him.
We know that Farage is in favour of an insurance based NHS, just like the USA. If you want to keep your NHS, you need to dump Brexit, or people like Farage, Raab etc will sell it off beneath your feet for their own personal gain.

Has your neighbour not heard of travel insurance?

Trump is polling well above the hapless French president.

You are just plain stupid sometimes. Pay first, then send the bill to the travel insurance company. Do you think that $495 is a suitable fee for a two minutes consultation is reasonable? I guess you would say that you charge whatever you think you can get away with when there is nothing in place to regulate it.

You obviously know little about travel insurance. Most companies settle directly.

Deliver this as an ultimatum in this way and the EU. will just say 'close the door after you've gone' Scully. You are, in effect, asking for all of the benefits of membership without any of the responsibilities. You are saying 'we want your trade but we don't want you'. The fact is that this would amount to us saying - 'either do what we want or we will open ourselves up for the USA to jump in and then you will see the benefits of having a bargain basement country on your own doorstep'. Threatening postures of this kind would lead to a poisoning of British European relations for years to come. Democracy is a living, breathing thing which does not stand still, and cannot be frozen in time - if the people have changed their minds about Brexit then it would be a travesty of a democracy which did not take that into account. With regard to future British European relations - they are still your closest partners, and even Belgium will always be more important to you than the USA is, because of its geographical proximity. Even with a deal of some sort, a great deal of collateral damage has been done already - because trade needs good will on both sides. You can have all the deals you like but if Europeans actually don't want to buy British goods, or services, in effect, leaving them on the shelf - then no amount of free trade deals will help. I, for one, would not buy anything from a country where my wife (German) is not welcome.

We are not asking for all the benefits just a free trade agreement within which will be various terms and conditions that we will comply with.

That would be nice eh? There's way too much infighting in the Tory party and DUP to achieve that unfortunately. If they'd agreed to the withdrawal agreement and spent the implementation period finding technological solutions to the Irish backstop you'd probably have your wish as EU have already pretty much said we will get a good one.. Very frustrating for both Brexiteers and Remainers who just want to get on with it.

Agreed. We need to move on.. I for one would have jumped at a free trade agreement for a start...

What I am getting really fed up with is the number of French, German, Dutch and this morning Belgian nationals coming up and sympathising with coming from a country in total chaos. The people who voted for this have turned the country into a laughing stock, and whatever I might feel I do not enjoy seeing my country sinking so low in the eyes of the world.
