    I have to admit all of those members of the general public who challenge the terrorist need some sort of award, watching the indecent unfold we saw some very brave individuals, I feel for the guy with the fire extinguisher, after they'd brought him down I honestly believe I personally couldn't resist giving him one or two blows from that extinguisher the adrenaline must have been running sky high.
    And some are happy to have the likes of these know radicalised and past supporters and fighters for ISIS to be allowed back into the UK, are they right in their minds, I can't honestly see one positive in allowing them to enter a country they have no affiliation or love for.

    The ISIS returnees should be straight to prison but if the Turkish govt returns them to us we cant just send them back. You do get how international law works right?

    So we do what then? send them on a plane back to Turkey? what happens when they send them back again a day later?

    If there was a war in France and we had 500 Turkish fighters end up entering the UK would you want us to keep them like you want Turkey to keep ours? I just dont think you get the childishness of your statements.

    I believe when the situation was put to the Turkish government they were more than happy to take it on in exchange for mega money, maybe getting in the EU good books for when they become a member state, they can happily take the UKs place when we leave.

    If you believe that to be the case then you haven't a clue on how drugs are purchased on the global markets. It isn't like going into Boots to buy a packet of paracetamol!

    For the high cost drugs which the American pharmaceutical companies have developed, it is all bound up in patents when the manufacturers have exclusive rights to sell the drugs to whoever they wish to for a fixed period. After that they become generic (and cheaper) and other companies can manufacture them under various arrangements. That's why US pharma has been discussing patent life with the UK govt to get them on side to extend patent life to provide US pharma with higher profits for a longer period. If it happens, we will pay more for many drugs from the US companies. Competition won't come into it but rationing will if significantly more money isn't pumped into the NHS to compensate.

    A Labour government would establish a state-funded generic drug manufacturer to make life-saving medicines affordable to all, Jeremy Corbyn has announced
    The use of compulsory licensing would allow the NHS to gain access to generic versions of expensive drugs soon after a Labour government came to power, but the establishment of a state-funded generic drug manufacturer would not come until the end of the party's first five-year term in office.


    Kate Andrews, associate director of the free-market thinktank the Institute for Economic Affairs, said: "Jeremy Corbyn’s call for compulsory licensing for medication puts at risk a patent system that encourages innovation and revolutions in medicine, which patients in the UK and across the world benefit from daily.

    "Removing all profit motive from healthcare is likely to worsen the problems that already exist in the NHS: rationing, limited patient choice, and the lack of innovation in the market for drugs and new treatment."
