Donald Trump today tore into Britain's NHS - branding the UK's system of universal healthcare 'broke and not working'.
The US President sparked fury this side of the Atlantic by slamming into the great British institution.
He claimed that a major protest about the winter crisis in Britain's hospitals in London at the weekend was a sign it is not a system the US should copy.
But Britons rallied to the defence of the NHS and hit back at his remark - branding it 'fake news'.
Labour MP John Woodcock told Mail Online: 'Once again we are seeing from this shameful excuse of a President is him criticising an institution that makes Britain great.
'It is increasingly clear hat the only thing he can do to restore dignity to his office and the country he is diminishing is to resign.'
Lib Dem leader Vince Cable said Mr Trump did not understand the NHS and offered to give him a briefing on how it worked.
Sir Vince said: It is not broken, it is under enormous pressure.
If he wants to understand how the system works in Britain and wants some solutions he should read out report.
He added: He obviously doesnt understand it.

..."Observers were quick to point out that protests recently staged in Britain have in fact been in support of the NHS, and against any move to US-style privatised healthcare.
The Democrats are pushing for Universal HealthCare while thousands of people are marching in the UK because their U system is going broke and not working, the president wrote.
......
Nigel Farage, former leader of the UK Independence Party and a steadfast Trump ally, had just appeared on the morning show. Asked why people had marched, Farage claimed pressure on the NHS was caused by a Trump bugbear immigration."....(more)

(2,692 posts)"He should read our report" is one of the funniest examples of sarcastic irony to come out of Great Britain in my lifetime of 72 years. The stooge in the White House can barely read a teleprompter -- and that without understanding a single word of it.
I hope Trump lives long enough to sample the inside of one of America's "great again" private prisons. I know it's a long shot, but there are a lot of Philadelphians who are richer this morning for betting on a long shot.

(4,642 posts)but what is more evil is a Capitalist society that pretends to be a Democracy. Until we get wall street and the uber rich out of our government and lives there will be no universal health care and we will soon lose what little safety nets we do have.
