Edward Snowden support thread

Also I get sick of hearing how wonderful the NHS is, when it is anything but so. It isn't a free service and you pay for your prescription medications to the hilt. I live in a developed country with a semi-national health care system (you will pay a portion of any surgery), and yet my medicine costs me 10 pounds a month here. In the great NHS system, I had to pay 26 pounds for a month of medicine. See, even that is largely a con. The British are paying a fortune when the propaganda will tell you how cheap and free that it all is. Not really. Again, most Brits probably don't know the deal in other countries, and probably think that their lives are as good as it gets. It's nonsense. Massive taxes and then the rest of the money goes on rents, bills, transport and the like and those taxes are used to police you and commit all kinds of junk in your good name.
