Most people have not a clue what a bargain the NHS is. Me, I think some things should be chargeable, anything related to 'lifestyle' eg fatties, smoking drinking drugs.
Easy to say when none of that would apply to me....

Anyway, won't happen, so the taxpayer will just have to keep stumping up to fill the bottomless pit.

"degress" should be degrees, presumably.

Is there a word in English for an accidentally apt typo?

But yes.. I banged the wrong one twice (as Boris Johnson might have said in a moment of lucidity)
