    Of course, those billions would've gone to stuff other than making NHS waiting lists disappear, because quality of healthcare in developed countries is a matter of political will rather than funds.

      How about a retroactive abortion for Boris, and anyone who voted for brexit?

        Farage needs to be dragged by horses through the entire City of London for the shit he allowed to happen at his latest rally. Have the population chucking rotton veg at him while chanting “Boring, Boring.”

    Just imagine what could be done with the TRILLIONS that’ll be lost when Farage and his chums get elected!
