I can speak from personal experience that the NHS is fantastic. Yes, they have cuts, but they manage extraordinarily well. There are a couple of terrible hospitals that seem to drag the national average down, but on the whole it's one of the best systems in the world. If your condition is serious you'll be seen quickly, and a fantastic suite of doctors, nurses, and surgery theatres will be at your disposal in an emergency (and it won't even bankrupt you!). A lot of people like to complain about NHS waiting times and care because they've had to wait in pain in an A&E waiting room for 3-4 hours with a broken arm. So f*cking what? There are people coming in to A&E who're having heart attacks, strokes or actual serious injuries and would very possibly die in the 4 hours you have to wait in pain. The triage system works 99% of the time. And despite the cuts, the doctors, nurses, orderlies, and support staff are nearly all fantastic; and contrary to Mr Farage's belief, many of the best doctors are immigrants.
Yes, of course there are outliers and some serious problems in the system, but it doesn't mean that the NHS isn't one of the best health services in the world.
And tea is the only drink. I love it.
I'm interested in hearing what a few fellow Brits' views are on self defence here though. Seems you can't even put up a barbed wire fence without being told to take it down because a burglar hurts himself on it. Knives are very prevalent, but there's never been any talking of allowing citizens any possible means of self defence other than "call the rozzas n wait 10 mins m8".
