Coming soon, to a formerly vigorous republic near you:
Hospitals cancel operations to cope with Government’s A&E crisis Over 300 long-planned operations are cancelled each day as England’s NHS hospitals need more beds for A&E departments under record-breaking strain.
In the first two weeks of December, 3,113 elective operations were cancelled – many only hours before surgery or when the patient had already been admitted to the hospital. An increase of 16 per cent since the first fortnight of December last year and almost 50 per cent in two years.
Milton Friedman said that you can’t have open borders and a welfare state. This is why.

What does A&E stand for? It is a British acronym not used in the U.S. At least I haven’t heard it before.
Accidents and emergencies.
Friedman was a genius. But seriously, is this not obvious?
Well Dom, we sure A&E doesn’t really mean as stated in the TV thingie
Arts & Entertainment?
(Kinda like Bread & Circuses?)
