      Life would be SO MUCH MORE JUST if only the people that voted to hurt this country were the ones actually hurt.

      Sounds like less of a Brexit issue and more of a UK beauracracy problem. The powers that be have all the power they need to reduce red tape, they just wont.

      If only we had taken a former election candidate on their offer to establish a British pharmaceutical industry that would develop the most hard to get drugs at home and sell the surplus with Britain’s sky-high standards. Nah, the adulterer was what we wanted instead.

      But but farage said it would be a utopia and we would be filthy rich and be able to send bare money to the NHS, dam immigrants tarkin’ our jerbs and our nhs meds

      This is doubly devastating as the UK used to be one of the leaders in the EU for running clinical trials.

      As the article says –

      – Its now much more expensive to get novel drugs into the country. Up to quadruple costs thanks to Brexit.

      – We’ve done absolutely nothing to change any of the regulations that ostensibly thanks to Brexit we could change.

      – We’ve lost access to a lot of EU funding.

      – And then wages here in research are like some sort of sick joke so of course its increasingly hard to attract any talent to come here.

      Project Fear 2.0…..heard it all before.

      Load of cobblers to set off the remainer echo chamber.

      Denied because NHS are forced to buy their drugs from particular places that deliberately overcharge because they see the NHS as a cash cow. In my dep. Paracetamol costs the NHS £1.20 a box, whereas the same stuff costs 20p a box at the supermarket. The NHS are forced to buy overpriced drugs due to corruption & dodgy contracts.
