    The same ones who voted in favour of a referendum in the first place. If the system fails the people it will be brought down

    The idea of the left is that the entire economy is controlled by the NHS. The NHS is the great modern totem of our times. No one dares question its integrity, validity or morality.
    In the future our children will all be educated by the NHS. They will then get jobs building more and more hospitals and medical centres , GPs surgeries the lot. We will live in homes staffed by NHS workers. Then we will die

    This was exactly what a "socialist worker" said when I challenged him about his vision of the world of the future

    There are useful idiots like you who buy into this philosophy

    That was just a suggestion of how an extra 23p per week could be spent, not an actual pledge.
