My son has lived in England for over twenty-five years. His wife was a liberal. Son had PRIVATE medical insurance there. You see, you can buy a private policy or be on national healthcare. His wife insisted he drop the private policy as she wanted to live like the local people.

Let me explain a bit more on private and national medical insurance there: They have private hospitals and public hospitals. If you have a private policy, you go to the private hospital and have a private room and care. If you are public health insurance, you go to the different hospital with wards of people, no private rooms.

Now, wife had a bleeding ulcer and had to be in hospital a number of days. She was in a ward, her chosen public healthcare. She said she couldn't sleep because the others in the ward were noisy. She couldn't get a nurse until after a long wait. As soon as she got out of hospital, she told son to get private healthcare again.

She was only a liberal in talking but not in doing. Did they send my grandson to a public school with regular kids? No way - it is a private school for smart kids, not even a regular private school. Also, private tennis lessons, private piano lessons, private flute lessons, private swimming lessons.

I'm all for private, but don't pretend to be a liberal and live like the common folks when you don't do it.

Friends of one of my daughters are exactly like that.

They talk the talk but don’t walk the walk.

Incredible hypocrisy.
