John Bolton – the top Trump aide here in the UK at the moment to talk about a post-Brexit trade deal between the UK and the US – has said publicly that a public healthcare system such as the NHS is something only Iranian or North Korean leaders like.

In a 2011 speech, Bolton declared:

“…both Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Kim Jong Il in the healthcare debate would undoubtedly prefer the public option.”

Be afraid. Very afraid.
