    It is impressive how the UK makes the US look free in comparison in some metrics.

      Not the first time with the NHS.
      I remember about 10 years ago they gave away medical records (twice and without consent).
      Don’t remember what the first one was but the other one was 50 000 ophtalmology records.
      This to a company called Eye-dentify.
      I’m sure you can guess the ‘medical research’ purpose it served.

      Considering you lot have HOAs, rampant monopolies, you lack autonomy like even the basic ability to change your name without a government process… I wouldn’t be too quick.
