Wrong. People were marching because we love our NHS and hate what the Tories are doing to it. Healthcare is a human right. nitter.cf/realdonaldtrump/status…
The Democrats are pushing for Universal HealthCare while thousands of people are marching in the UK because their U system is going broke and not working. Dems want to greatly raise taxes for really bad and non-personal medical care. No thanks!

One hundred years ago today, for the first time in our country's history, some women gained the right to vote. The actions of the suffragette Emily Wilding Davidson, and other campaigners, stay with us as the struggle for women’s equality continues. #Suffrage #Vote100
