Trump’s ambassador to the UK, Woody Johnson, has already said the NHS must be on the table in negotiations over a future US-UK trade deal.
In theory, Britain could insist it is not discussed, just as it could refuse to lower food safety and animal welfare standards.
In practice, Johnson, who never lets anyone forget he studied classics at Oxford, will surely know Thucydides’ line that in international relations, “the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must”. "
"Only a year ago, on 13 September 2018, Johnson was in Washington DC as the honoured guest of the American Enterprise Institute to collect the Irving Kristol Award, named after the founder of neo-conservatism."

The award ceremony was sponsored by Aetna, an American private health insurer that manages 5,700 hospitals. Alongside Aetna’s representatives were co-sponsors from Gilead Sciences and fellow drugs giant GlaxoSmithKline.
Other backers included accountants KPMG, which advised the UK government on the private finance initiative, and Grant Thornton, which only this May was enthusing about an “improved outlook for investors focused on healthcare real estate”.

ReplyDeleteDangerous clown indeed
ReplyDeleteCorrupt and incompetent but a gifted con artist.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the story of the bridge that was never built. The "privately sponsored gift to the city" that magically cost the public 60 million pounds.
"Launched as a privately sponsored gift to the city, Joanna Lumley’s “tiara for the Thames” had soon gobbled up £60m of public cash and the promise of an extra £3.5m a year for evermore. It was quickly revealed to be more a corporate events space than public crossing, a planted branding opportunity just 200 metres from an existing bridge, where groups would have to register and visitors would be tracked via their mobile phones. It was relentlessly exposed to be the product of the “chumocracy”, flouting all the usual rules of procurement. The miracle is that it ever got so far, and that so much public money has already been flushed into the Thames."
"The blame lies firmly with former mayor Boris Johnson, the one actor in this sorry saga who refused to comply with Margaret Hodge’s recent inquiry into the project. Her investigation found multiple failings from the start, from the Garden Bridge Trust’s shaky business case (which put a lot of faith in the lucrative potential of selling T-shirts and pens), to a tendering process that was “not open, fair or competitive”, to confusion as to what the project was even for, concluding that the bridge should be scrapped before it burned through any more cash. And it all comes back to Boris."
https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2017/apr/28/garden-bridge-dead-38m-public-money-repaid-boris-johnson
"A failed plan to build a bridge covered with trees and flowers over the River Thames in central London cost a total of £53m, it has been revealed.
A Transport for London (TfL) inquiry showed the Garden Bridge Trust spent £161,000 on a website and £417,000 on a gala for the abandoned project.
The design of the bridge cost more than £9m and the charity paid its executives £1.7m.
Around £43m came from the public's pocket, TfL added.
Doubts began to surround the project, overseen by Boris Johnson, after it lost the support of London Mayor Sadiq Khan in April 2017.
It was officially abandoned in August of that year after a review recommended it be scrapped."

ReplyDeleteChatter among the media set is that the "lovers' tiff" with Carrie was sparked by a rather long lunch that Boris had at the Belgravia restaurant with another young lady of his acquaintance. One that went so well, it ended up spilling over into the evening.
Though Olivocarne closes between lunch and dinner service, staff allowed Boris and his ladyfriend to stick around after hours to enjoy the peace and quiet. Once they were left alone in the empty restaurant and staff went back of house to prepare for evening service, the two lovebirds supposedly chose to share one final, rather meaty course on one of the banquettes there...

Boris Johnson's support for EU revealed in Leon Brittan letter -
"Boris Johnson revealed his support for the European Union’s single market in 'a pro-European' letter written the year before he decided to campaign for leave, it has emerged.
"The likely prime minister's pro-EU market sympathies were said to be revealed in A LETTER OF CONDOLENCE to THE WIFE OF ... SIR LEON BRITTAN, who died in January 2015 ...
"HIS LETTER OF TRIBUTE TO BRITTAN was read aloud at a memorial service in May 2015, attended by political grandees including Ken Clarke and Nick Clegg. BRITTAN WAS ONE OF THE UK'S EUROPEAN COMMISSIONERS AT THE TIME JOHNSON WORKED FOR THE DAILY TELEGRAPH IN BRUSSELS ...
"'It came across as a very pro-Leon Brittan letter ...' [said Peter Guilford, a former spokesman for Brittan who knew both men well].
"According to one account of the funeral in the Oldie magazine ...
[the letter] also said: 'WITHOUT LEON, I REALLY THINK THE DEVELOPMENT OF EUROPE WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFERENT.'
...
"... Ideologically he [Boris Johnson] was as pro-European as they come,' said Guilford ...

Harold Macmillan 'secretly met with Father of Europe to facilitate UK's entry'
"... In a 2015 report for the Daily Telegraph, [Ukip founder Alan Sked] argued that former Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and his successor Edward Heath adopted strategies of deliberate deception to get Britain to join the European club.
"Mr Sked wrote that Mr Macmillan and his closest advisers 'were part of an intellectual tradition that saw the salvation of the world in some form of world government based on regional federations'.
"The Professor at London School of Economics explained: '[Macmillan] was also a close acquaintance of Jean Monnet, who believed the same.
"'It was therefore him who became the representative of the European federalist movement in the British cabinet.'
"In the late Fifties, Mr Sked wrote, Mr Macmillan took the risk of submitting a full British membership application after secretly meeting with French statesman Jean Monnet, one of the founding fathers of the EEC – the precursor to the EU.
"Mr Sked noted: 'Monnet met secretly with Heath and Macmillan on innumerable occasions to facilitate British entry ...'
"It was Mr Macmillan's successor, Edward Heath who successfully negotiated the UK's entry with French President Georges Pompidou and took Britain into the EEC on January 1, 1973 ...
"In complete contrast with Mr Heath's claims, civil servants suggested that if the plan was fully implemented, member states would have ended up with less autonomy than US states as the EEC's aim was to become a political union.
"The assessment said: 'At the ultimate stage, economic sovereignty would to all intents and purposes disappear at the national level and the Community would itself be the master of overall economic policy.
"'The degree of freedom which would then be vested in national governments might indeed be somewhat less than the autonomy enjoyed by the constituent states of the USA.'"
