Walker570 Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Well, yes I cannot quite understand it but I dread to think it is all planned to deal with all the detrius coming over the channel. I am a big believer in identity cards and when you appear at the Doctors or a hospital you produce it. Unfortunately as at presnt you walk into A&E and get treated regardless of what you have contributed to the system. Glad I am the RIGHT end of my life, fear for any 10 year olds, dread to think what this great country will look like in another 50years.

And just how many £ millions are owed by 'overseas' visitors getting operations done on OUR NHS and then going back home. While abroad, my sister had to go into hospital, and despite having insurance, had to hand over her passport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie to this Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Conservatives = New Labour. We need a true centrist Party, not those masquerading as one. The Conservatives are way left of centre, they just seem centre right, because Labour are now extreme left, and have been for some time.

I had to wait until I was 23 and earning my own wage before I had a car and then it was financed between me and my wife I enjoy what I enjoy because I do not waste what small amount of income I have on things like £500s worth of tattoos up my backside., now 17yrs pass your test and daddy will buy you a car. Failure also to learn to cook your own food because so much easier to go out and have someone do it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have thought one of the 57,943 could have found a few minutes to sort it for her. Edited September 11, 2021 by wymberley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I had my transplants 16 years ago people were dying due to a shortage of Organs as well as funding. One morning a guy from Kenya appeared on the ward and 2 days later he received a Kidney, he had, according to the nurse in charge, bought a one way ticket to the UK and collapsed at Heathrow then been rushed to Oxford for treatment, I remember him well because he did not speak a word of English and as he was recovering he walked around the hospital totally naked with all the drips and a catheter in place!!

Gordon R Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 When I was in hospital in 2003, one of the nurses confided that the staff were up in arms about surgeons flying their relatives in from Asia, just for an operation. No queues - fly in and have the operation immediately. I asked why no-one complained. She said your career would be in tatters. I am sure this doesn't go on in this day and age. Got to dash, the Flying Pig Squadron is circling the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 A favourite apparently is for expectant women to pay their Doctors to lie by letter about the date of pregnancy to circumvent the flying rules to enable access to UK for the free birth and care?

Jega Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 The actual " triple lock " increase in pensions that is being argued about amounts to round about ................................£7 a week . So that's the Caribbean ruled out for all the rich greedy pensioners then . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bavarianbrit Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 So you work 50+ years and your entitlement gets taken by an amateur government away due to whatever. Perhaps the younger uns could consider not having to have flat screens in every room and a top range motor outside their terraced houses before robbing those that set up this feel good society. Did I rant dear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Best get used to it. Our costs are increasing and peops are living longer at the same time the country is earning less than ever. We need to work harder, longer, smarter and more often to pay the bills we have. Add in the tripple whammy bonus of the Brexit dividend, climate change and the pandemic and we are a long way up that dark creek. Something has to give.
