It's also a thing that exists in every developed country, exempting the United States. The portrayal of the NHS as synonymous with the concept of universal healthcare is one of the most dishonest aspects of British political discourse.

Seeing a few people act like all the celebrations of the NHS today are overdone or twee. Maybe, but free healthcare is a pretty remarkable thing and it's a remarkable organisation.

@SteveBakerHW The question is what are we going to do about it? If the end of restrictions is delayed, are you going to publicly encourage non-compliance?

@DanielaNadj It's always so bafflingly hilarious when people describe the untra-centrist Boris Johnson (who pursued centre-left economic policies when in government) as "far right". The expression really has lost all meaning.

@Otto_English I think the problem is that some people on the left have lost all sense of proportionality, as evidenced by the fact you just referred to Enoch Powell and Adolf Hitler in the same sentence as though they were remotely comparable.

@CourtenayIlbert Yes, although I'm yet to see any government communication that does so.
