The NHS is totally paid for by National Insurance, with something to spare. We raise 11.5% of GDP by NI, the NHS costs just 9.9% of GDP. Boris increased NHS spending, and started 40 new hospitals, this wil lead to the NHS costing just10% of GDP, leaving 1.5% of GDP for which pensions payments are the main use. Being able to defend the country, and the people therein is infinitely MORE IMPORTANT than breeding highly educated well looked after slaves!! Defence should always be paramount, but only in times of tension, and war should it be the main focus, Churchill was the person who said this after laying out his ideas that finally became the NHS in 1908.
In my humbleopinion defence spending in the UK should never be less than 3.5%, (peace or tension timethis is totally affordable and ensures the future of many valuable tech and heavy industryu jobs in this country. The Roman General Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus famously said of such things in his book "Epitoma Rei Militaris," Which roughlytranslates to this : "if you want peace, prepare for war." This is something Britian has never been very good at except in the case of WW1.

@emmy9345 The Issue with that is the UK is one of only three countries able to globaly mount offnesives. The other two being the USA, and France (only for short periods, or limited numbers in France's case). The problem is What Europe doesn't need is a country with Global commitments and it's own more powerful agenda, which as we proved with the EU debacle, didn't always match those of the UK. The UK is only one of three countries (the same three countries as I mentioned earlier) who have true global reach, and global soft power. Being the main ally of an emerging Japan doesn't sit well with America, and the EU, that is where Britian is headed, and the Uk already has more influence in Japan than the USA has ever had. What Britiain doesn't need is paying for countries that refuse to meet their EU commitments, and being told by at best a small minded set of unelected bureaucrats what we can or cannot do on our own. this has become very apparent since Brexit, Brussles thinks it controls what Britian can, or should do when in reality it has had it's wings clipped mightily by little Britain. I say this as a person with a foot in both Germany, and England, being of German/English parents. Britian does lead where Europe follows, that has become very obvious in the last three years.
The edited bit.. Also Britian is already a part of a Europe wide set of forces, it is known as NATO, another smaller EU army is not the way to go!

@danielhutchinson6604 Erm which Vietnam conflict do you mean? The Chinese invasion that was simply a rout of a Chinese army? The French debacle, The US debacle? Or the British one in which Vietnam was calmed the vietnamese beaten, and de weaponed in 18 months? Do go on these have all been since WW2 by the way China sent 100 tanks, 500,000 men a complete air division, and barely made their first objective, and were battered to a standstill, then shoved back to the border by just 80,000 old men, and young boys, the vietnamese border guards whilst Vietnam sent it's army to depose China's ally Pol Pot. Shame you actually know so little about REAL history isn't it?
