UK: Tories to sell NHS hospitals to US firms after Brexit

As the Brexit debacle shambles on it has become clear that a big motivation behind it is to sell off health, education etc. to already filthy rich right wing Corporations. Resistance is gathering, though focused on electing the oft discredited Labour PartyPosted by .…. Leading Brexiter Tories have revealed their plans to allow private US firms to take over NHS hospitals. They are also planning for the UK to adopt lower US environmental and food safety regulations and allow imports of things that are presently banned for health reasons such as chlorinated chicken into the country.

The radical plans were revealed in recommendations by a think tank called ‘The Initiative for Free Trade’.

The IFT was launched in September 2017 by a small but influential group of right-wing Conservative figures.

Who might those figures be?

None other than Tory party leadership contender Boris Johnson, Tory International Trade Secretary Liam Fox who both launched the think tank along with IFT president, Tory MEP Daniel Hannan.

Right-wingers have been slammed after publicly plotting to open up the NHS to competition from US firms after Brexit.

The idea is included in a 239-page report by the Initiative for Free Trade – a think tank backed by hard Brexiteers and launched by Boris Johnson in the Foreign Office map room.

Spelling out an ‘ideal’ trade deal between the US and UK, the report says there should be “zero restrictions on competition for government procurement”.

An executive summary of the report explains: “Health services are an area where both sides would benefit from openness to foreign competition, although we recognize any changes to existing regulations will be extremely controversial.Related image

“Perhaps, then, for other areas the initial focus should be on other fields such as education or legal services, where negotiators can test the waters and see what is possible”.
