Yes, on a pedestal so far as most of the long term readers of this forum are concerned. You carry on, saying as much or as little as you want.

On another tack, this is a crazy day for health care isn't it - Obamacare being destroyed for the American poor to give benefits to the rich and many of the poor in Britain unwittingly signaling they're up for the NHS being wrecked.

You're too kind Nigel. I hope you are well. It's a beautiful day out there.

Yep it's very strange, in fact it's totally incomprehensible to me, that anyone can fall for the idea that people who are rich and powerful might give up any of that wealth and power to ordinary scum. The Tories don't care about the NHS because they've got private healthcare plans and they don't see why you shouldn't manage your income to sort one out for yourself. I can't see how a country that imagines itself civilised (i.e. America) doesn't look after the health of its poorest and most vulnerable - you'd like to think compassion for others was a basic human trait, and certainly one espoused by Christianity (god knows we have to hear what good Christians the US polititians are). But there they are voting to actually remove support. Essentially because it "costs businesses too much".

The world is really mad and I'm starting to realise it might not get any better.
