THERE were calls last night for a national debate over whether or not Britain really needs doctors.
As the British Medical Association called for a ban on thinking about alcohol, experts said it was time to start planning for a doctor-free society.
Professor Henry Brubaker, of the Institute for Studies, said: "Once again the BMA is talking about alcohol being a threat to 'public' health as if that's an actual thing.
"There is 'my' health, which is 'mine', and 'your' health which is 'yours', but there is no 'our' health. D'you see?
"And while there are individuals who can't handle their sherbert, why not deal with them as individuals instead of constantly demanding a tax on anything that hasn't already been banned and generally getting on my tits?"
He added: "The quickest way to get rid of doctors is to simply pay them to stop being doctors.
"The only thing they love more than calling for things to be banned is truly gigantic sums of money swilling around in their current accounts.
"If we're serious about creating a doctor-free society then taxes will inevitably have to rise, but just imagine for a moment a future where you are not being made to feel like a murderer by some Audi-driving tit who just happened to spend an extra year at university."
Margaret Gerving, a retired headmistress from Guildford, said: "I'm quite happy to bung my symptoms into Google and then order the pills from Amazon. And if I need something lopped off I can down a bottle of gin and place myself in the capable hands of that nice young man who works on the meat counter at Asda."
She added: "I am really looking forward to walking into my local GP surgery next week and telling them all to go piss up a rope."
