How dare brexiteers jeopardise my daughter's life!!

(sorry three decades...)

- oops GrandmaJan
Sorry.

Thank you again GrannyJan

This second post must surely reassure many who are concerned.

Sadly Maggie's 'me me me' ethos still seems to govern some posters 2 decades on..

Following on from my post yesterday. I’ve just finished seeing patients in my Nurse Practitioner Clinic and 4 patients were advised by their pharmacist to see us about a shortage of one or more of their meds. I easily changed to ones that were available (the same drug, different name) some of which are manufactured in the UK. UK and USA manufacturers are having supply problems but they aren’t all long term. Anyone concerned must see their GP or Nurse to sort it out. I’m concerned (as are my other colleagues who I discussed this thread with today) that doctors are making patients more anxious. There are drug manufacturers all over the world not just the EU.

What is becoming clear is that we are no longer a tolerant and compassionate country. Some comments on this thread are truly frightening; also the ignorance shown.

Mcem, I do understand how worried you are about your daughter. It is no consolation to you that some ladies on GN apparently know that your worries are totally unfounded. After all, they won, we lost and we should just get over it.

I see nothing wrong in expecting and preparing for the worst while hoping for the best.

Sadly, you can't help but be upset by reading the complete selfishness and sense of entitlement shown by some. It sounds dysfunctional to me but it's also not the first time I have come across it. I have seen it in the wives of wealthy husbands. A taste of how others live helps some but generally they stay entitled. They are often far more to the right than their hardworking husbands.

Perhaps some of the new far-right groups were created to appeal to small-minded entitlement. Sad though.

No wonder hooliganism in football is still alive with that sort of mentality.

What a stupid and childish rant " we won and you lost ". Typical though of todays mindset !

Nobody won anything.

When the dust has settled will be the time to see who has won and who has lost. I suspect that the main winners will be those who gambled with sterling on the stock exchange and made millions - the Rees Moggs and Boris Johnsons who had the money to speculate and were aware of the coming legislation on the money they had stashed away in tax havens.

We won you lost get over it

And I pointed out in reply that air freight is also subject to customs control. No need to insult me.

Leavers may well "carry the day" but surely that begs the question of what they are seeking to achieve?
My fear is that this will lead to the further erosion of the NHS as those that can afford to will go privately & pay for treatment & those that cannot will be left to the mercies of any "rationing" should shortages arise.
I doubt the older generation will fare well in all this!

I pointed out that legally purchased medicines could be airfreighted here from outside the EU, by the UK government, should it come to that. Nothing to do with individuals buying medical supplies and trying to get them past customs.
Try reading the text not making it up.

If anyone's going to delay anything it'll be the big, greedy pharma companies. They'll do their damnedest to hold back as they're famed for holding people to ransom when a new drug comes on the market which they claim is unobtainable on account of the cost.
This country is driven by greed, Thomas Cook was an example of that.

Mind and don't drop that ladder as you are pulling it up.

Blimey gabriella you inhabit a different planet to most humans.

What philosophy do you adhere to?

I could have an educated guess.

I'm here to look after me and mine not the whole population who have responsibility for themselves.
People on meds are not the only consideration. I matter just as much regardless of what anyone thinks.

Oh, but bringing in banned substances is SO much more profitable.

Blaming? Who the hair-oil am I blaming ? It is people who assume that it is the EU spitefully stopping essential drugs getting to us who are blaming. We (that is to say less than a third of us) wanted this, and now we are likely to get it.

Be careful what you wish for. It may not come just as you imagined it.

Medicines not banned substances when they are legally bought and sold. Don't confirm your ignorance.

Anyway...he who laughs last laughs longest and the moaners on here won't be laughing.
Leavers will carry the day.

Better than assuming that vulnerable people and their families should just shut up and suffer.

And do the airlines do no checks at customs? Must remember that when I want to bring in kilos of banned substances.
