figure 4.

And?


The all-you-can-eat-for-free NHS health care model is doomed.


Mindlessly silly.

Only to someone who -

1) refuses to accept the blinding obvious


Easy to claim.

2) actually believes that the government has any money, never mind lots of
it


I have never believed anything of the sort.

3) thinks it is OK for the BoE to print £300 Billion and immediately"buy"
it all back.


Or that either.

Even before Covid-19 the UK debt as a percentage of GDP was projected to
double by 2040 once all the baby boomers started reaching 85+


That stupidly assumes taxation levels dont change.


Which won't happen if the electorate don't vote for it.


The electorate dont get to vote on something like that.

Remember what happened when Ed Miliband and Theresa May made their
proposals for increased taxation.


No one got to vote on that.

What the West needs is a global pandemic. Oh dear, what happened ?.


Hasnt killed anything like enough in the UK to fix the NHS problem and
won't now.

Not a chance. Yes the Black Death did overturn
the way things were done considerably, but even
the two world wars didnt and they killed a hell
of a more than any new pandemic will now.
