Nige is the self-appointed Brexit liar in chief in GB. Corrupt to the bone. I have always suspected he was a courier for Pootey.
He met with el Trumpo while in England, and it was disclosed that one of the biggest deals on the Brexit table will be the privatization of the National Health Service. Chaos! which is Pootey's favorite weapon.

The job pays well and it gets you on TeeVee a lot, and cushy trips to dine with royalty.

(19,962 posts)Aaron Banks has made his millions out of Insurance, and Farage is VERY supportive of Trump's demand that the UK allow American Insurance companies to get into the UK, catering for the privatisation of the National Health Service in return for a UK-US Trade agreement. Banks would stand to make a fortune.
This is a dodgy one for Farage because the Brits are seriously attached to the NHS.
The Wizard
(12,545 posts)He has succeeded with Farage and Trump as his handmaidens in that end. America will be paying for the Trump crime family for generations. Whether we resort to the Romanov solution remains to be seen. They said it couldn't happen here, but that was before the criminal Trump seized power with Putin's blessing.

(6,556 posts)I've thought Farage was a Russian Assent since he first hit our shores courting tRump. Now tRump is following in Farage's footsteps in Great Britain.

The piece was thoroughly researched and in great detail, as I recall.

(1,336 posts)when asked yesterday at a press conference, Trump[ did not deny that it wasn't. He said "everything is on the table".
If whoever becomes the new PM ever, EVER even allows the NHS to be considered, the Conservative Party will definitely lose the next election.

(1,336 posts)However, I just read this morning that he has since taken it back -- NHS is non-negotiable. I guess he heard from the saner Conservative MPs that they would lose BADLY (or BIGLY, your choice!) if they even considered allowing the beloved and revered National Health Service to be tampered with in any way, shape or form.
Some years ago, an orthopaedic doc with his own private clinics (for elective minor surgeries) in Vancouver mounted a media blitz to persuade the country that 2-tier healthcare should be instituted across Canada. IOW, there would be a mix of public and private hospitals, and doctors could choose where they wanted to practice. Of course the big fear was that all the excellent docs would choose private, and the supposed inferior docs (you know, the ones who graduate in the bottom half of their class..) would have to practice in the supposed inferior public hospitals. And if you wanted to be treated by a supposed excellent doc at a supposed superior private hospital, you would have to buy top of the line insurance.
Canadians were outraged by this idea with just under 90% of the population firmly against the idea in the polls conducted.
The UK does have a form of 2-tier. If you've heard of Harley Street docs, they are the ones (specialists) whose well-to-do patients do pay out of pocket. It's doubtful that these docs are actually any better than the ones whose patients are less than wealthy. But it's a class thing, as many things still are in the UK.

(10,024 posts)If the pro-Brexit folks get their way and GB crashes out of the EU, Trump will have them over a trade abyss. Trump has already complained that EU countries, including GB, refuse to import many US foods, including chickens that are fed antibiotics and washed in chemicals because theyre the nasty result of our factory farming system. Nor do many Europeans want our GMO foods full of Round-Up when they can buy clean, healthy products from smaller, well-regulated farms.
Allowing US insurance and drug companies access to the NHS offers huge profits and high drug/ medical costs for Brits, just as we pay here for lower quality healthcare.
Trump and Farage are both Putins puppets who care nothing about their countries. They are globalists who see making money as the sole purpose in life and the people who suffer as a result of their actions are just meaningless casualties in their quest for riches and power.

Always concerned. And Russia is only one of several actively hostile enemy nations he traffics with.
