“the UK” doesn’t...boorish johnson, nigel farage, jacob rees-mogg, aaron banks & their brexit-hungry brethren on the other hand...

“no deal” equates to trading with the world as third party under WTO rules...& one of the things the Tories would like to do is privatise the NHS...& one of the things the US would likely seek to negotiate in any subsequent trade deal would be access to a “market” made up of one of the largest purchasers of healthcare…

I’m undecided about whether or not it meets the bar for funny but Baracka has been well past the point of parody since he first started braying all over these threads like a pseudo-democrat pipe-dream of some frankenstein-zombie version of Eyore...

not looking to disagree about the apples vs. oranges thing but as far as this bit goes...
