I’m sorry to hear you’re having a long wait to see a consultant. However in this volatile world I believe we as a nation need be protected.

Why would he care, he makes pots of money from private medicine, maybe not him personally but makes the rich richer. A country that doesn't care about the health of its citizens is not fit to govern anyone.

Lynibis he only cares about himself. Private health care kills off the poor a group he really doesn't care about

The whole economy is crumbling, we have a population determined to destroy the economy by exporting most of their wages it seems; on imported cars, foreign holidays etc. In this dangerous world you can make a case for spending more on defence but the reality is we are a much, much poorer country nowadays. We have made decisions for over 40 years that have hugely damaged our economy and now we have about 3 Trillion in debt. Even if you inflation adjusted the debts of WW2 it still only came to about £800-900 billion. We need to get back to a more isolated economy which can rebuild its manufacturing and agriculture. Any increase in defence spending will almost definitely increase borrowing even if they cut the budget of some other public services as well like the Police or NHS etc.

BonzoBanana manufacturing our own things would definitely save this country. We have an imported car but we had to as we dont make our own. As for foreign holidays we don't have passports

Imnotcheap There are quite a lot of cars made in the UK still. Some of the Toyota's like the Corolla are made here and they are extremely reliable cars with a long lifespan and very decent cars. They may not have the premium interiors of some German cars. Many or most Jaguars are made here and they are a bit more reliable than German and Italian brands and typically are cheaper to maintain slightly because Jaguar is based in the UK. There are options for UK manufactured cars even today. However its a huge change from before we joined the EU when we were third biggest car manufacturer in the world and then we joined a single market we could not compete in as there were many cheaper locations in Europe for manufacturing cars. However still there are some cars manufactured here.

People want this, that and other, but then complain when tax is put up to pay for it.

TheChimp Yes taxes are likely to keep increasing anyway due to the burden of debt and compound interest. The reality is we need to tax industry and farming less too to make their exports more competitive and put sales tax up on high value products to slow their importation like cars. We need policies to turn around our trading deficit and borrowing. People seem to think we can increase the money spent on the NHS and Police etc but the reality is they will have to decrease significantly in the coming years. Both services will be cut back.

It's frightening times really. People seem to think they can just keep sending their money abroad and yet have high quality public services and defence. It is just complete madness of people completely out of touch with reality.

I though online speculation was Trump has major health issues yet still he walks amongst us. I don't think he should have any say over this country as he's not voted PM in this country, so I thought. Image
