    What straws are you talking about you fooking thick moron?
    Brexit is going to happen we all know that. And it'll happen exactly as I described above.

    I'll assume that's a joke. But this is Cuk and you might just be as stupid as you seem

    4. Britain's economy is not very strong being unbalanced towards financial services and weak in manufacturing. This imbalance will grow if we left the Euro and lost links to large Euro projects e.g. Airbus. It also makes no sense for Japanese and other foreign car firms to stay in the UK.
    5. It doesn't seem as if EU immigration will stop. Both Switzerland and Norway have larger per capita EU immigration than Britain and they are outside the EU.
    6. We'll still have to follow Euro rules in exchange for trade rights as Switzerland and Norway have had to do.

    Why the French model may have the answer to the NHS’s many challenges | City A.M.
    We also use for-profit companies, it's just less up-front. I think the way the NHS is funded has a lot to do with its problems. The murkiness of the NI contribution seems unnecessary.

    You'd have to be careful about how you bring in private companies to avoid spiralling costs by profit-mongers, but I wouldn't be totally opposed as long as you kept them in a minority like the French do.

    Nope they weren't extras apart from the dentist. At the dentist I paid for a more expensive material to be used.

    The physio and tests just saved me time and having to have repeat appointments with the GP.

    I've had things like private physio, dental treatment and blood tests.

    My private treatment ensures that the physio, dentist and lab can still provide NHS facilities because they earn enough not to go fully private.

    Makes me feel quite ill and want to vote out.

    Basically which side annoys me the most with their fear tactics before I vote will cause me to vote the opposite way.

    Yet another reason to vote "exit".
    And then the Chancellor of the Exchequer who is appointed by the democratically elected Prime Minister can then raise it even further, citing the cost of leaving the EU as part of his lie
