One silver lining to Brexit - the NHS as it exists will probably disappear

    No. She just wants to have less work.

      Jeremy Corbyn: Don't sacrifice NHS to President Trump - BBC News

      If you were on the fence all along, its time now to decisively vote for Corbyn. He is the only politician who has the country and the population's interests in his heart. The rest, especially the Tories, only think about enriching themselves. Look at Cameron and Osbourne, already lining their pockets. What a disgrace!

      The general election needs to be called, we have a PM who we didnt vote for destroying our country.
      This would be great if he could actually explain in any level of detail as to how he intends to pay for it all. I'd love to see:
      • free milk at break for all children (we were never lactose in tolerant back in the day - wtf happened there?)
      • a fully-functional NHS with correct levels of staffing
      • sufficient schools to get classroom sizes back to a maximum of 30 pupils
      • more bobbies on the beat
      • renationalisation of key infrastructure bodies from rail right through to British Steel
      • Infrastructure projects to improve the whole of the nation, rather than to line pockets
      • Removal of the current tax system and replacement with something designed for the 21st century
      • Ability to deny benefits to anyone with proven links to a terrorist organisation (stuff their human rights - the choice to support the denial of life of others trumps that)
      • More draconian punishments in place to rebuild respect for the police (we're now in an age where police can be held responsible but criminals seem to have more rights than victims)
      • A nationalised internet provision, censoring of sites and content at the choice of the bill payer and you simply pay for whatever bandwidth you require (basic, gamer, TV, business, etc.)
      • A complete overhaul of VAT to reassess what should be seen as luxury in the 21st century rather than last century
      • Overhaul of the benefits system to reflect contributions and residency - we're too attractive as a benefits destination.


      But I know that's unrealistic because we cannot pay for it all and the lefties will have a fit at some of the items.

        And once again, you'd be spot on.

          In what way am I being bigotted? I didn't say that it was a good or bad thing.

          Merely pointed out the fact that a large %age of my wifes work is with non-UK nationals.

          She works with "Challenging Families". Alcoholism, drug abuse, domestic violence, complex health needs, child abuse. That sort of thing.

          The bigots amongst you just assume that these things only affect the White Working Class rather than new arrivals. Because you spend too much time watching poverty-porn on Channel 4 and believing the lie that the WWC are just a bunch of lay-about benefit scroungers who don't want to work.

            So foreigners make up 10% of the population and they cause 80% of the workload ?

            Sounds like BS.

            I'm alright Jack

              BS because it doesn't suit the argument? What a shame.

                80% less work, so she wants to be paid to do nothing?

                  The German system works for us. Pay almost €1k per month and the service is excellent, waiting times well that's not even a subject here, specialist treatments are plenty crumbs they'll even pay for a hotel so you'll spend a long weekend somewhere if you're deemed stressed. A different world.

                    His argument is based on a single view that he assumes is correct for the whole country, which it can't be and it isn't, but he does not give a tulip: his wife wants to do less work and that's the important bit.
