Tory / US NHS Sell Off
Posted: Wed Nov 27, 2019 10:27 am
Appears JC has an un-redacted copy detailing trade talks between the Tories and the US. Unsurprisingly, it would seem the NHS was / is on the table.....

This is all going to be furiously disputed through the day, no question - we're trying to get a link to the full documents so you can have a proper look.
It's important, though, that Jeremy Corbyn doesn't provide evidence that ministers have agreed that the health service should be part of a trade deal with US.
But details of discussions about the demands of US pharmaceutical companies will still be motivating for Labour voters worried about the NHS.
"Not for sale" has been biggest mantra at Labour events, even though the Tories have always furiously denied that the NHS is in any way "up for sale".
It's clear that US drug firms want access to UK markets - Labour suggests the UK has agreed they could extend patents of some medicines which could cost NHS more, for example.
There's a big political question about whether any UK government would ever do a deal that made medicines much more expensive for the NHS, and therefore the taxpayer - this would be massively costly for the government and likely deeply unpopular.
Apparently those glasses are designed for people who have suffered a stroke. There was media reports some months ago that he’d had one, but denied it.RedO wrote: ↑Wed Nov 27, 2019 10:55 am Boris has been running around promising the NHS is not for sale.
He'll now say these are just trade agreements between the NHS and the US, they're not actually selling the NHS.
Thickies will believe it.
Can you imagine if we had a proper media who actually went after the tories on things like this, rather than the angle of Corbyn's glasses.
I wonder whether the foreign secretary at the time was involved in any of the meetings.

The important thing is what this document doesn't say. It doesn't say the NHS or food standards aren't on the table........

It doesn’t say the EFL will not be under control of the USA. Now I’m worried. Nor does it say the BBC will not be taken over by Fox News. Bloody hell. Not does it say football won’t be played with a round ball. Catastrophic. Wonder what else it doesn’t say that we should worry about!Father Ted Crilly wrote: ↑Wed Nov 27, 2019 2:27 pmThe important thing is what this document doesn't say.

I would try to explain the significance of this to you but have decided to just conclude that you're a non-entity and a f*cking half-wit.dOh Nut wrote: ↑Wed Nov 27, 2019 4:10 pmIt doesn’t say the EFL will not be under control of the USA.

I’m looking forward to it. Hope he gives Boris a rough ride and brings up this NHS issue. Given my utter disrespect for both leaders I shall be quite pleased to see Boris squirm the same way Corbyn did.
