    An American guy executes someone in broad daylight and because the American public don't like the murdered guys job they are all cheering on the murderer and hailing him as a hero.
    Apart from how absolutely ****** up that is I have to say it shows how utterly thick as **** Americans are because they've just voted in someone who is vehemently against the idea of universal healthcare. They've literally just voted for a continuation of privatised healthcare and insurance covered healthcare and a few weeks later they're applauding someone for murdering a healthcare CEO because they hate that healthcare is privatised. Utter ******* idiots. Oh and they were all up in arms a few months ago when someone shot at the rapist and were proudly proclaiming that it's wrong to murder someone due to political beliefs yet.

    Not just thick as **** but hypocritically thick as ****

    I'm not sure it's that they don't like his job per se, it's more to do with the fact that when he took over the job the company was rejecting 8% of medical insurance claims...which was about the industry average. He introduced an AI system of claim inspection that now rejects 32% of claims.
    Thank God we have the NHS.

    I’ve stopped watching/reading ‘the news’. I don’t use twitter.

    Honestly, life is better for it. Less negativity. No propaganda.

    Whilst I don't want to speak for Andy, I'm pretty sure he made it clear that it was completely his decision to leave BFC, and nothing untoward had gone off behind the scenes.

    Think the average was 16%, mate? But overall I think youre right. I couldn't even imagine what it must be like losing your life savings or not being able to get care without having to pay thousands, or knowing a love one died because of it. Makes me even more thankful for the NHS, even though its in a mess of its own

    Do you support all assassinations of people you don't like?

    I don't support murder but unfortunately it falls outside condolences coverage as being an amoral megatwat is deemed a pre-existing condition.

    You are a massive hypocrite consistently on here and it's been exposed yet again because you've been on this board wishing people dead. What's the difference between this bloke and Joey Barton/Donald Trump/Boris Johnson?

    Because you've wished those three dead at the very least

    Unfortunately holier than thou doesn't work when you've got a post history on the forum.

    When someone attempted to assassinate trump I said "I might joke about him and others needing a bullet for the good of the world but in reality that should be reserved for very very few people (I'm thinking a certain russian). If a country isn't good enough to deal with bad politicians through legal and democratic means then they don't really deserve anyone better in charge."

    How about Joey Barton then wishing a slow and painful death on him? Are you addressing that comment or just dodging it because it doesn't fit the OP?

    I'd not be sad at all if he was to contract a horrible disease that led to a slow painful death no. That's different to wishing someone would murder him

    Natural causes and murder are different morally in my opinion

    Wishing death on someone is the same morally in my opinion no matter how they die.

    Although wishing them a slow painful death is a bit bad.

    You're not above both though as you've wished someone murder Putin.

    I've read your posts on here for a decade or more, banging your drum about your hatred of 'welfare scroungers, people not having a job, jail terms' etc., yet here we have a legalized extortion racket that:

    • kills up to 70k Americans a year who cant afford any coverage,
    • denied coverage to 30% or so with coverage (UHG)
    • Causes 1m Americans a year to file for bankruptcy
    • Spend $100m a year in lobbying the US government
    • Make £50bn a year in profit

    So in answer to your question no, I don't "support killing people I don't like", but I'll not give a damn if more of these people are shot dead, because they, unlike the average dole scrounger that triggers you so much, do fall under the category of genuine scum.
