Joy, a friend of mine was asked to stand as a labour candidate for the council in the 1980's and got plenty of backing from the party until he said that he was going to be honest and do what he thought was best for the people who he would be representing and guess what,

They dropped him like a hot potato

I only went to look because I remember when my nephew came back over from Aus' he had to see a doctor and had to pay,. though it was his own dr and he was still registered with him and had his NHS number.

dont blame me when you all have to pay lots of pennies for your medical care.
they have already started by stating that fat people wont be allowed treatment for weight related illnesses on the .n.h.s, how dare they say that,these fat people may have worked for 30yrs payed national insurance,so they are intitled to care,as is the smoker and the heart patient,and the person with type 2 diabetes,they hae all brought the illnesses on themselves due to their lifestyles,they pay into the n.h.s. is it fair that they wont be treated?but someone who walkes into this country will a long running health problem will be treated and recieve after care for nothing,is that fair? :-(

Doesn't work now Rose lol.

I saw it the first time. There are an awful lot of exemptions listed there though, and it seems clear to me there are far too many loopholes.

years ago some companies got together
and asked me to go in the race for the mayor of my town
ray mallon got it in the end (google the name confessions for drugs)
i told them i was to honest and didn't need an ego boost
as i was nobody's puppet even with their backing
i had no intentions of doing what they requested when asked
if i did the job
i would do it honestly and they backed off


well said TW cant agree more

I'd agree with that Muffy, though it might go slightly against the original principles of the NHS, but then it did come about before we opened the immigration doors to all and sundry to come and abuse it. I'd go so far as to say, if you haven't lived and worked in the UK continuously for a minimum of five years, you PAY for your healthcare. The NHS should only be freely available to those who have contributed.

The same applies to our benefits system. You get nothing back unless you put in. I think that would greatly reduce our welfare bill in one go.

My Mum and Dad's best friend is a marxist.......who paid for his mole that was borderline cancerous willingly regardless of his principles.

I would pay extra for my health IF ...and now this won't go down very well........overseas use of the NHS was eradicated and the only way you could access treatement was via your NHS medical number. NOT for folk who didn't pay in for it in the first place.
