This "ten years" figure crops up a lot. That is a very, very long time in
politics.

When it is gibberish it is contested. You think this means it is not
allowed. This speaks volumes.

No people aren't allowing you to extrapolate massively based on your limited
experiences. For each bit of anecdote you produce others can produce
anecdotal evidence which contradicts it. This is why _anecdotatal_ data is
poorly viewed.

Your persecution complex makes _you_ think this is about _you_ not being
allowed to do things. Get over it.

It is still a blanket generalisation based on the contacts you have had.
Unless you have met and studied the actions of _every_ democrat, this is as
reasonable as Eeyore saying all Americans are kill-crazed lunatics, hell
bent on global destruction.

But only your upper, upper class are allowed to use those
services. How long do you think it will take some socialist
to use that as a class warfare tool? YOu've already decimated
your wealthy class by bankrupting them through death taxes.

In the NHS the doctor(s) determines your treatment.

Is it actually real insurance or notional insurance ?
