Boris and the NHS
HiBoris is at it again.
He is demanding that at a Brexit Bonus is paid to the NHS.
This is nothing to do with the NHS, it is to save his Political Ambitions to be the next Prime Minister.
Before Brexit, he did nothing for the NHS Funding.
Then he got on the bandwagon, with his Battlebus.
We pay the EU £350 million a week, let's spend it on the NHS.
That was an outright lie and fair play to Nigel Farage, who debunked it straight away.
Until the deal is finalised we have no idea at all if there will be any Brexit Financial Bonus.
Boris loudly trumpeted we can have have our cake and eat it.
He has been soundly kicked into touch for that as well.
A No Deal will leave the UK with an £ 8 Billion deficit on our Taxes from Services, one country, a big hit.
A No Deal will cost the EU much more, around £23 Billion, but that is split between 27 Countries.
Who is he kidding?

Re: Boris and the NHS
I was thinking about this after listening to radio last night, question was posed would we be better with Boris as pm. I looked at what tm has managed to do and how charismatic Boris is and sadly came to the conclusion he'd make a better pm. As a leaver I'd feel happier if he was in charge at the moment too.I think he's serious about the money for the NHS too, so I'd give him a chance to find it.
The money we paid onto Eu will have to be used some how, personally I'd rather it was used to fund social and mental care than many of the current things it does.

Also, if my memory serves me right, I think the BUS did have a statement saying how much we pay to Europe, but I'm pretty sure (correct me if I'm wrong) that it did NOT say that all of what we saved would go to the NHS.

Donald Trump is charismatic and I certainly would not want him as PM.
The problem is that there doesn't appear to be a person at the moment who would make a good PM. In fact many times on this forum posters have said we need a new political system or party as the old parties seem to have gone stale.
Maybe we need a thread on suggestions how to reform politics or what posters would like to see in a new political party.
As for the NHS, there are cuts being made everywhere, police, military, social care, housing, education where is all this saved money going.
It looks as if we are in for more austerity, for the poor, sick and old the hardest hit yet again, leading up to and after brexit so I don't see that there will be any EU savings for anything.

Seems pretty strait forward to me but you want to spin it now for your own agenda.

it is down to interpretation. If I had a pay rise I might say 'good that is more to spend on heating' but it wouldn't mean I would spend it all on heating. Boris may be prone to the odd silly comment but I can cope with that
I think at least he has the good of the country at heart and that can't be said of all politicians .

Spot on Purwell.
We have never sent the EU £350 Million a week.
That was an outright lie.
Spending it all on the NHS would mean no more money to Regional Development Funds etc,
It also assumes that we would still have access to the Single Market, which we will not have.
That is a financial hit which he claimed would not happen.
