Bad Korea Move

In 1951, Aneurin Bevan resigned from the Cabinet over the introduction of the NHS charges that the people of England still have to bear, and then some, because we have been removed from the United Kingdom without our consent. Those charges had been introduced in order to pay for the war in Korea.

Any chemical weapons in Syria would be no threat to us, even if we have decided to back the Islamist insurgency against and invasion of that last great outpost of Arabist pluralism. And any nuclear weapons in North Korea could not possibly reach the United Kingdom. The country defined by, among other things, the National Health Service.
