But even man-of-the-people Farage has admitted that we're going to end up on a private health scheme anyway?

As usual I understand what you're saying in theory DR... but there are some glaring flaws here. In a free-trading, open, globalised, competitive economy we are now competing against a number of rising economic powerhouses who treat their citizens like disposable work-horses. No room for creativity, little time for recreation or family, no freedom to simply enjoy life, harsh and stifling education systems that have little care for the psychological or social wellbeing of the children in them. That is what we are "competing with".

To be blunt, it's like you voted for an idealised vision of an independent Britain that doesn't exist and will never exist.
