@McGentrix,
You really are stupid, you can't even get the name right. Your use of words tells a great about you, nanny state is a derogatory term to belittle the advances made by the Labour government, the NHS, decent social security. Those were hard won, we took them in 1945.
Your government pays more per capita in health care than ours, and you still don't have UHC. You have to shell out to an insurance company on top of that, because you let big business, healthcare, insurance tell you what to do. You grin like **** when your education budget is slashed because you think it's an attack on the elite. You've been licking the rich man's arse for so long you actually think it's your choice.
After Dunblane the people demanded sane gun laws, and the people, not the state, or the gun lobby, and the government did what it was elected to do. So what if the Olympic team has to practice overseas, nobody gives a ****.
