Relentlessly parroting right wing talking points to stop right wingers making them is an implausible absurd and counterproductive strategy. I don’t buy it at all, sorry.
Do you think that because the supermarket is paying for my buy one get one free box of cereal, it isn’t free, or do you think for one minute that people who call it free don’t realise that they’re still making a profit?
We’re not all morons, and we don’t need anyone to say that taxpayers fund the government every time we like something they do, we’re not five and we do understand, but the one thing we do know is that you don’t pay for your healthcare, no matter how much you need or how often, no matter how little tax you’ve ever paid or ever will pay in your life. Healthcare is free in the UK. Free. No charge.
