Funny you should mention that, I just bumped into this on Guido Fawkes:

Constitutional experts Vernon Bogdanor and Lord Kerslake both agree that there is no way for Parliament to force a second referendum without a cooperative executive.
Professor Bogdanor confirms that as the Withdrawal Agreement is a treaty, Parliament can either ratify it or not. “A referendum amendment would have no effect on its own, to have a second referendum you need legislation which in 2015 took seven months to get through Parliament.”
Former Head of the Civil Service Lord Kerslake agrees, saying “there has to be, as Vernon says, legislation… the way forward has to come with the involvement and the agreement of Government.”

Frankly, I doubt your prescriptions cover the full cost of these skin creams, hence the problem when the NHS decides to no longer fund its share. Plus, you're posting on MMO-C, so I'm going to take a leap of faith and suggest you're not a pensioner or suffering from some ghastly disease like cancer that has absurdly high treatment costs. Seeing as the NHS seems to think that A&E, old people, and the like are a higher priority than you, and seeing as how there's only so much money in the world, something's got to give.
Still, let's add something constructive. You could always cut some more dead wood:

Took 7 years for a sub-20% drop in the number of managers (43,000 of them in 2009, costing ~8% of the budget). We managed to run a global empire with a civil service a fraction of its present size, so it's not like we need most of the current red tape types.

But hey, why face harsh truths when you can just take a steaming dump all over a majority of your fellow countrymen?
