UK's Johnson says he'll tell Trump health service won't be part of trade talks

[Soph0571]

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson says he intends to tell President Trump that the country’s state-funded health service will not be a part of future trade talks.

Johnson told reporters while flying to New York for the United Nations General Assembly that he would tell Trump “that when we do a free trade deal, we must take sure that the (National Health Service) is not on the table, that we do not in any way prejudice or jeopardize our standards on animal welfare and food hygiene in the course of that deal, and that we open up American markets,” according to The Associated Press.

I call bollocks. Firstly, Boris would sell his soul, never mind the NHS for a trade deal with Pappa Trump. Secondly, this far right canard is all about deregulation - animal welfare??? like he gives a shit about that... but hell he talks out of both sides of his gob...

1. Boris Johnson is all talk. He has no credibility whatsoever.

I once watched a livestream of the UK parliament. For 1 hour representatives attacked him and demanded answers. For 1 hour he responded with counter-accusations and didn't provide any information.
