Then I read STN which is north east of London and that makes me wonder. What kind of person from their would say this? There are only a few options:
1. A UK citizen with their head in the sand.
2. A person living in the UK who has never been seriously sick or known anyone who has.
3. An ignorant American who thinks they are in Stansted and has no idea what socialised healthcare really is.
I don't know which it is but this kind of thinking is what has been tearing this country down for the last several years. I hope it does not spread.
