I suppose this comic is nothing new in places where there’s no free, national health service. But in the UK we used to have one, that all of us were proud of (excepting the present government, of course.)

And I don’t usually do political satire. But I did so much want to use the sentence “your illness is important to us.”

Puns are like ear-worms. Once they’re in the brain the only way to get rid of them is to tell everyone else. Thanks for listening!
