United NHS

Politicians in the UK (except the SNP who are determined to break up the UK and then declare an SNHS no doubt) are so obsessed with the National Health Service, you'd think, even in this supposedly watershed election that's supposed to be about BREXIT, that there was little else for them to care about on behalf of their people. Just now, the PM showed he is so intimidated by the wretch Corbyn's warning that Brexit will see the NHS taken over by Donald Trump, Inc. (who would surely "fire" the candystripers, make the ambulances run on time and plate the bedpans in gold if he ever did got a hold of this monopolistic Stalinesque monstrosity), that he sacrificed one of his few Thatcheresque policies to reduce the Corporate tax rate from 19 to 17% to give more more money to an agency that already takes in 300B pounds or 16% of the economy annually.

Does everyone in the UK use the NHS daily? Do they take the NHS to work? Do they go to the NHS to work? Do they shop at the NHS for their food, clothing and shelter? There was a UK once that did not have it and still managed to be the greatest, most powerful nation on earth. Every other nation except maybe Canada gets along without one.  Yet, it would appear having a decent defence system, schools and northern infrastructure are all less important than it let alone having an economy as competitive and productive as, say, Ireland. Maybe, the Heraldists and Protocol experts should get together and confirm a new Head of State and name for the country:

The NHS of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United NHS Kingdom! 

I recall in 1995, when going to a symposium of NHS supremos, an attendee wondered at who won the Cold War. If we finally win Brexit, I hope that we will not be saying as true conservatives,"Is that all there is". Is it too much to hope that, once Brexit is done and he's got a safe majority, that the PM will junk all of this Wet One Nation stuff and bring in a raft of Thatcheresque policies that usher in an economic renaissance for the UK that will make everyone forget about worshipping a social program?
