I'm good with universal.healthcare as long as it's based on an insurance model.

It's the NHS that's a problem.

Right wingers deliberately underfund the NHS and encourage privitization of profitable parts of it and then argue that it is a 'millstione' and should be got rid of .Right out of the Tory play book.

Happening even quicker than I thought; they’re already starting to eat themselves. Hilarious.

The irony that this disagreement is centred around the immigration question is delicious. The tech bro nazis say the immigrant workforce is critical and the maga nazis say you promised to deport all brown people. Elon being an illegal immigrant himself is the cherry on top.

If the Democrats had any savvy at all, they would jump two-footed into this fight and help drive a wedge between the warring factions. Unfortunately, they are more likely to call for restraint and compromise from both sides, as they still haven't learned to exploit their opponent's weaknesses.

It's been just as brick under Labour too. This is the third Labour govt of my lifetime and I've yet to see an NHS that comes within around 50% of the quality of service I've seen in the US.

There's a very good reason why no politically serious countries copy such a ridiculous model.

How far? As far as we can in the opposite direction.

He isn't going to get Canada, Greenland or Panama despite the hot air he is blowing and why would we want to be subsumed into that brickshow when we have just extricated ourselves from the EU?

I believe the commonality between the people and societies makes it inevitable.

You only need to look at the amazing depth of interest in US politics evidenced by the thread here on our football forum.
