A combination of falling tax receipts and Tory ideology whereby JRM, Bojo and their cronies dismantle the NHS is far more likely.
They've been looking for an excuse to privatise the NHS for ages.
But IMHO that will be an unusual plus for Brexit. The NHS needs to be broken up and started again - it's no longer fit for purpose.Leave a comment:

Originally posted by AtW View PostExclusive: Warnings revealed in notes on contingency plans for NHS Scotland and Wales
A no-deal Brexit could mean cancelled operations, delays in diagnoses and long-term pressure on staffing numbers, private letters and briefing notes seen by the Guardian have revealed.
The set of 30 documents released under freedom of information requests provide a detailed portrait of contingency planning for Brexit in NHS Scotland and Wales.
They warn that it could take years to train enough staff to replace departing EU nationals, increasing the burden on the health service at a time when staff shortages are already starting to bite.
And they suggest that if vital medical supplies are held up the consequences for patients could be serious.
The warning on staffing shortages comes from a Welsh government document entitled “high-level summary” for Welsh health and social care services post-Brexit.
It says Brexit is “having an impact already on the recruitment and retention of EU nationals” and says the issue is most likely to affect “less skilled staff”.

Not to worry - people can just move to EU and get nice free medical attention there. Oh wait...

The relevant word there being NEWS
'news
/njuːz/Submit
noun
newly received or noteworthy information, especially about recent events.
"I've got some good news for you"
a broadcast or published report of news.
plural noun: the news
"he was back in the news again"
synonyms: report, announcement, story, account;
However what this article does is take some potential scenarios (obviously worst case) and try and peddle them as fact and news.
They are not, this piece is someones opinion - someone who evidently has a point to make about why Brexit is Bad and the EU is Good.Leave a comment:
