The staggering cost of health tourism is yet another appalling consequence of the Government’s failure to control immigration.

 

Con artists from around the globe are effectively stealing more than £60million of NHS treatment a year – and Brown’s clowns haven’t a clue how to stop them.

 

Four years after Labour unveiled a so-called “crackdown” on this abuse, the initiative is unmasked as one more gimmick that has failed.

 

An investigation reveals one hospital in three ignores Government advice that they should police patients’ eligibility for treatment.

 

That’s why one man from Lagos regularly flies to Britain to have his heart problem treated. Another states he had a right to be treated for free until he was well, pointing out that there was nothing the hospital could do about it.

 

When the then Health Secretary John Reid passed the buck to doctors in 2004 and ordered them to stop the health cheats, it was futile, unfair and an abject surrender of the Government’s responsibility to control our borders.

 

“There’s a difference between being civilised and being taken for a ride,” said Reid. “We’re not mugs.”

 

Oh no? Tell that to all the patients who can’t get the NHS treatment they have paid for in taxes because the beds are full of the world’s freeloaders.

No one should be allowed to use the NHS unless they have paid into the system, the parents in the case of kids

 

Anyone else should have to pay for NHS treatment

 

Sick of foreign spongers and freeloaders

agreed

 

this is ridiculous, how come people who have paid for years into the system cant get the treatment they need because of these freeloaders?.. its utterly wrong.

It's wrong to be sure, but, is it actually any worse in essence than indigenous freeloaders getting free treatment when they've contributed bugger all to society except ASBOs, screaming feral brats and increases in crime figures.....? I think you know of which 'group' in society I talk of...... How many foreign freeloaders are there in comparison to homegrown ones I wonder.....?

 

Plenty of foreigners come here, work, contribute taxes and NI (how typical of the right-wing press not to mention that small fact....), so I;d put them ahead of the queue in place shiftless scummy chavs who do nothing for this country.....

but the scummy home grown chavs parents probably have contributed.... theres not that many families that have had generations of freeloading.

 

the other point is of course that the scummy chavs are british citizens therefore are entitled to the treatment...like it or not.

So what...? Does that mean that fully-grown, perfectly capable ADULTS whatever their bloody parents contributed, should be allowed to endlessly scrounge...? I dont think so.....

 

And, like I said, if I had my choice of who I'd rather deport from this country between hard-working Poles, Czechs and Slovaks who contribute Taxes and NI and scummy, freeloading chavs who contribute precisely BUGGER ALL, I'd be revoking citizenship for the latter and doing a bit of modern-day "transportation".......

 

...This would also have the added bonus of seeing crime statistics fall dramatically..... :lol: :lol:

but you are again saying that ALL immigrants are hard working, consciencious, super beings... THEY ARNT!

 

what about the eastern europeans jumping the housing queues?, what about hand outs to settle here? housing benefit? clothing allowance? furnishing allowance? mate the are thousands of eastern europeans that are taking out far more then they are putting in... just like chavs...

 

not ALL migrants are your ideal super being, far from it.

Well, that's not my experience... Perhaps some evidence to back up what you're saying....? My own experience of CENTRAL European people in London has been of young, hard-working folks who dont ask for any hand-outs at all, who live in PRIVATELY rented accommodation with furniture already in them.... That's MY experience anyway..... I dont know any examples of what you talk of tbh....

 

..And at the very least, they DO put something in, as opposed to bugger all..... Central Europeans over here are, in the main, self-sufficient, Chavs in the main, are not... Big difference.... And frankly, I know who I'd rather have as my neighbours....
