VDH is a national treasure here in the U.S., and he does well to delineate the failing European policies that driving them to the brink socially and economically. As others have pointed out, within a generation Europe will not be Europe anymore. The disastrous policies on immigration and the social safety net, combined with a suicidal birth rate guarantee that distopian future. Thankfully, some of those countries appear to be waking up to the new reality.

Let's take it.

Nothing has been invented in Europe in the past 50 years. Their socialized medicine is collapsing, high taxes low standard of living, no free speech, renewable energy driving up the cost and will create a shortage as AI increases. Illegals invading their countries taking over. Idiots as leaders OK Biden was less than an idiot but we removed him. The food is good. ITs nice place to visit but you know how the rest goes

From the lives of european idiots:

Finnish President Alexander Stubb said that his country won the war against the USSR in 1944 because it retained its independence. His words were quoted by The Economist magazine.

“We still consider ourselves victorious because we retained our independence,” Stubb said.

As europeans watch many in the Global South stand up for themselves, demand their sovereignty, refuse to give in to threats, bullying, and economic attacks from the U.S., do you think it's more embarrassing for them watch their leaders call Trump "Daddy" and grovel at America's feet?

You'll upset the Remoaner's and devout EU arse lickers like Tommy Tit and DeadBeat. The EU has always been a failed model, that's why the member states are suffering, socialism never works.

They will as Trump makes America a better place to manufacture than Europe. Europe is destroying its economy with renewable energy. Now they have banned free speech. Europe is going backwards

Only because the Soviets allowed them to.

Serious question: How is the NHS doing? Is it as bad as it seems?

Serious question: How is the NHS doing? Is it as bad as it seems?

I can only vouch for the NHS situated in Cumbria and Dumfries & Galloway. Also, I rarely bother the doctors. But I have used both A&E (accident and emergency) at both hospitals.

So, if there's anything -neg said about the NHS, 99.99999999999% of the time that person is Left Wing. Notice how Labour are in and Tommy Tit, true to his shit morales, has gone quiet. Doesn't matter which country you live in, a tiny percentage of folk have been failed by their healthcare system. Out of the millions seen a year, the two bad encounters in the news makes Lefties go off on a tangent on how shit the NHS is.

The staff do a sterling job and due to efficiencies, the ones twining that work there are now having to work. I knew a guy that worked at the Carlisle hospital, and he said those that think the NHS is underfunded, "Hasn't a ******* clue". The bureaucracy and politics squanders the money.

The NHS is made up of hundreds of trusts, firms, business, self employed etc.. There's private clinics all over the country and both use each other. If you want to speed up your appointment/care just ask about paying for, say, the MRI scan. Rather waiting a month, you're in the next day or two, and it's cheap as chips.

Deadstick and Tommy Tit slag the NHS off, both are Lefties, so there's confirmation on this board.

The government fund seventy odd percent of healthcare, two MP's interface between the NHS trusts and the Commons (parliament). Americans keep going on about, "I don't want government to run my healthcare", are thick as two short planks. Every year, someone takes the government to court over some drug, or what the NHS should include etc.. and sometimes the government loses.

I have paid private once (for a scan on my back), and just used normal NHS the rest of the time. Would I want an American system? **** hell no.

I broke my knee, went in, x-rayed, stopped the night, cast on next day, 2 more casts over the coming months, cast cut off and my NHS bill was £0.00.

I'm sure it's brilliant in most places and I'm sure there's delays in very populated areas. Waiting times have significantly increased since Blair in the 90's.

Brussels had become an african nation. This guy is pretty stoked about the destruction of this western nation. If belgians don't wake up, you're done. And we don't want you here.
