Imagine.

Imagine you are trapped in a room with multiple windows, all of them locked except for one. You can break one of those locked Windows and get out but you may cut yourself. The politics of today are like that except Bernie is that unlocked window which represents those things I've always fought for and I'm taking that window. The next room I'm trapped in might not have that unlocked window.

I was born and brought up in Europe so I've been out of the room already. It's seems a shame we have to break a window in order to have equality and proper services for the ordinary people. America seems like it still lives in the 1950s frightened of its own shadow.

I love the NHS in Britain and people say if you don't like it here why not go home. I've been in the US many years and we have a job to do here.
