Farage On Friday.

I said it multiple times over the course of last night: on the big issues facing our country, there was simply no difference between the six other party leaders that stood either side of me. The 'alternatives' aren't really alternative at all. 
If you think about what you heard, if you were one of the 7 million or so that tuned in last night, you'll recall discussions about our National Health Service, about Immigration, and about our economy. But did you hear anything so drastically different between the six leaders? I didn't. And I was standing next to them!
On the NHS, Labour are trying to "weaponise" it as an issue, as the Prime Minister pointed out. But they're throwing stones from inside a glass house. Nearly everyone remembers that Labour was the party to introduce privatisation into the NHS, and that, coupled with Gordon Brown's private finance initiatives (PFI) have left the system with more problems than ever before. Beds are at a premium, hospital cleanliness is a disaster, and ambulance services are stretched beyond capacity.

Labour isn't the party of the NHS. It's the party of PFI and MRSA. And the Conservatives, despite promising "no top down organisations" have presided over one of the worst reforms that any government department has seen.
UKIP, however, proposes real change. This includes pumping £3bn more into our NHS every year, coming from money we'd save from EU membership contributions and a reduction in foreign aid. We are the party suggesting we should merge health and social care, spend more on dementia research, and scrap the tax on illness: hospital car parking charges. We want to take the axe to middle management and see more spent on frontline services. And we want to train more of our own doctors and nurses here in Britain, instead of having our NHS rely on foreign labour.
And of course one of the flash points last night, so I'm told, was when I dared to raise the issue of health tourism, which costs our NHS up to £2bn every year. The example I gave, was because of health tourism, we now have 60 percent of HIV sufferers in Britain who are non-British nationals. The idea that we can be the world's health service, when retroviral drugs to treat such diseases cost up to £25,000 per patient, per year, should be immediately dismissed. But because our "leaders" aren't willing to actually face down the hard decisions for fear of their public images, they won't say anything of the sort.
It's our National Health Service, not an international health service. Britain simply hasn't got the resources, and nor should we try, to be the world's health clinic. Express.
