Brexit

Quoted from Maringer

Pete, that is the most inane thing I've ever seen you post.

IF WE DON'T BUY THE MEDICATION IN QUESTION FROM THE YANKS, WE CAN'T GET IT ANYWHERE ELSE AND PEOPLE WHO REQUIRE IT WILL DIE AND SUFFER.

.

Well you have just gone one better with that statement,

Of course we can trade with whoever we want that's the idea of Brexit you fool.

STOP SCARE   MONGERING

People will not get their medication and will die ????  how can you post such trash ?

Quoted from scrumble

This right here has to be one of the dumbest comments I've read on the fishy

OK brain of Britain tell me why we can not buy medicines from some one else ?

We have got a deal with the EU to leave we will have time to make a new deal with them or whoever we choose to do one with.

BUT

You Corbynites don't like facts and answering questions do you ,?

You will be saying the Tories haven’t been spending the last decade making cuts and privatising the NHS by stealth, you may trust the Tories but ask any doctor or nurse if they trust them.
They have cut beds all over the country
If you trust Johnson to tell the truth you are complete idiot

Quoted from codcheeky

You are the idiot if you think Corbyn will not bankrupt  the country with his silly policies.

Please tell me what has a labour MP has done for Grimsby in the last 74 years, ?

That is under a Labour government as well as a Cons / Lib.

You're falling for tory propaganda - labour's spending plans are being painted as crazy, when in fact they are less than France and a number of Scandinavian countries, and only slightly above germany. If the money is spent improving public services and investing in infrastructure to make us a competitive economy (whilst the government can borrow on near negative interest rates) then we'd be fools not to do so now. If we don't we will struggle as a country to be competitive with other countries over the coming decades.

First off I'm not a Corbynite, I've only ever voted labour once, and you might actually want to give me chance to answer before claiming I don't want to.

The drugs we're talking about can't be bought from anywhere else because nobody else makes them because the US companies hold a patent on them. The other side of this trade deal lock in patents on drugs for even longer than they are now meaning it would even longer before anyone can make a drug doing the same job. In some cases there maybe alternatives, but would you be happy using a cheaper alternative that isn't as effective?

Humira is used to treat Crohns and arthritis, this would go from  £1,409 to £8,115. We're not talking about a slight price hike here. The system we have in place, and they want removing, saves the NHS £150m a year

They have brought you the welfare state, decent pensions, the NHS, decent working conditions, paid holidays and much more , what have the Tories done except cut local spending budgets to the bone? Cut taxes for the richest made waiting lists longer and looked after their rich mates. It’s no coincidence they won’t publish the report on Russian influence when loads of Russian oligarchs use the UK to launder money
You have to decide what kind of UK you want your grandkids to live in ,one that will see them in loads of debt with little chance of their own home if they choose to go to uni, massive waiting lists if they are ill. If you trust an adulterer, who won’t say how many kids he has, who has been sacked for lying twice over a man who voted against the crazy wars in Iraq, Syria and Libya and had the lowest expenses of any MP during that candle you have to look at your own judgement

Sorry Scrumble but I think retired bus driver Pete knows more about pharmaceuticals and trade deals than prospective government officials.

As noted by other posters, if only American countries make the medication, then how are you going to get it elsewhere?

Secondly, the Yanks know we are so desperate for a trade deal that they can practically force us to do things we wouldn't want to including buying the branded medications instead of generics where available. Even if it costs the NHS a few billion extra, those negotiating might accept such a stipulation if they think that the deal will overall benefit the economy a bit more. Of course, you would then need the government to increase NHS funding to cover the extra cost. Good luck with that from a Tory government.

Not scaremongering, common sense.
