I mean, I don't think – Liv or someone, correct me if I'm wrong – the NHS has to deal with a large demographic of voters who want to manipulate the NHS to deprive women or particular racial minorities of access to health care.
I don't think they necessarily directly want to if asked that way, but the Brexit vote was largely based on a rhetoric of not wanting to share social services (or jobs or private housing or anything else) with nasty foreigners. There are some plausibly-good reasons to want to leave the EU (though I personally disagree with them pretty strongly and I don't even like the EU that much!), but the campaign was overwhelmingly based on lies and bad reasoning -- including a lie about there being more money for the NHS if we leave.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
