She told May- Ted had the pox
And very seldom changed his socks
She also said-
He wasn't right in the head
May replied 'Ted really rocks'

Were you told by an SNP voter Raven  ?   It's just not true and Farage has said many times Reform will not privatise the NHS.

I agree.. as I said in previous post..
People come from other countries for treatment..
No-one is turned away.. 

We are a soft touch ... on many counts..

That is no good as it means only those who can afford it get proper treatment

But we have to stop being for one thing the International Health Service .
No other country does this .
Yet people come from  Africa or wherever  and have quintets or expensive treatment without paying for it  .
This doesn't happen in Europe or any other country .
You have to pay first ( or someone has to guarantee payment for you )

He has repeatedly said it will remain free at the point of use. I think that accusation is essentially anti Reform misinformation from those happy to see it being a bottomless money pit that delivers worse outcomes than other European health services. Nobody wants to follow the American model not even a huge number of Americans - principally those without employers funded insurance I suppose.

Lots about. I was going to say very common but it's probably more that they are distinctive and seem less wary of people than many other birds.

Morning, Garden work for me today, got to get those tubs of lavender dug in and the grounds bone dry. Not looking forward to it as it will knacker me. But needs must.
