I use the doctor more than anyone in my family for anything I think I might need a doctor for and its taken some effort to get my parents to realise that the NHS is free and they should really take advantage if they think its anything that isn't a cold or some other common virus I'm going to miss it

Tesseraction posted:I'm just really hoping Cruz manages to keep his momentum. He literally cannot win at this point (even if he won every single delegate from here on in he's still short) but all he needs to do is get more than ~200 more delegates of the ~700 left and it's a contested convention. that means there is a chance cruz becomes president though and he's so much worse than trump

https://www.globalwitness.org/en/press-releases/david-cameron-majority-british-public-want-you-act-tax-havens/quote:Over three-quarters (77%) of British adults agree with the statement that “David Cameron has a moral responsibility to ensure that the UK’s Overseas Territories are as transparent as possible”. Agreement is even stronger among Conservative supporters (80%) and older Britons (85% for those aged 45+) I'm sure this will ensure something happens

Barry Foster posted:It's not a well put together argument so it reads as a bit abrupt, but his point is perfectly valid. I'm struggling with the exact same concerns. Which will be harder to get out from under in the future? Or rather, which is likely to last longest? The EU in its present shithouse form, or the upcoming 1000 year Tory Reich? Which will ultimately be worse? reminder that there are posters itt who are planning on voting to leave who naively think that if it happens the tories won't use it to get out of the european convention of human rights as soon as possible to implement their own version
