OWN INSULIN THE UK AND NOT HAVE TO GET IT FROM GERMANY ETC?

@familycourtq that statement shows a fundamental absence of any form of knowledge of the complexities of the pharmaceutical industry. Particularly something with the complexity of insulin.

If you want it made in the UK, it is going to cost a lot more. How do you want that funded? By the NHS or the end recipient? A US style system where only the wealthy can afford to stay alive?

@Spinnaret Condescension and two straw men in one post. What are the environmental reasons for not making insulin here?

Yes because there is so much money floating around to make specialist labs .
No reason why not, op, but it's not going to get sorted by 31 October and the economy will be tanked by no Deal so setting up an expensive specialised lab or two isn't going to be high priority.
For. Fuck's. Sake.

@familycourtq What are the environmental reasons for not making insulin here?

The carbon footprint of building a new lab probably is quite significant.
