The N In NHS

Nothing like the NHS exists either in the United States, or (contrary to what is often imagined in Britain) in any other member-state of the European Union.

But, although there has been some move away from it in New Zealand in recent years, it is very much still in place in Canada and in Australia.

Therefore, while what are always the allied forces of American domination and European federalism are combining to destroy the NHS by means of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, the patriotically British and the pro-Commonwealth approach is, as it always is, that of the strongest possible support for the National Health Service.

UKIP, Daniel Hannan and their fellow-travellers in the Conservative Party and its press fail that test, although An Independence from Europe passes it.

That failure will be exposed when the House of Commons divides on the TTIP.

It will then become abundantly clear, once and for all, which is the patriotic party against all comers.

And which is not.

  1. Absolutely loving this. If you cherish distinctively British features shared with old Dominions, and oppose threats to them from the US and the EU, then you have to support the NHS against the Right. Spot on.
