That’s all very well in theory but very few people are refused treatment on the NHS hence the phenomena of ‘health tourism’. They may get billed but not pay, but they are never asked to pay before treatment. Of course it has something to do with our membership of the EU; all countries in the EU are deemed to be ‘safe’ and are obliged to accept people who can’t, or won’t, prove their Nationality. The EU bang on about protecting their borders but then allows anybody in who pleads hardship. I think you’ll find that anybody applying for benefits will get them and I assume that’s why so many refugees will pay to cross the channel.AndrewJB wrote:Under EU rules a person moving from one country to another has to have health insurance and cannot apply for out of work benefits for five years. Why do you think there’s a European health card? People who come here from outside the EU (and which has nothing to do with h our membership of the EU) pay thousands for health insurance. The poor state of our NHS is the fault of our government.
You say you don’t need the media to tell you Corbyn is incompetent to know he is, so how did you discover this in the first place? What evidence did you seduce this from, and if competence is so important to you, how do you reconcile that with our current PMs track record of incompetence?
The fact Corbyn spent the vast majority of his very unremarkable political ‘career’ on the far fringes of the Labour Party, indicates his lack of ambition and political nouse and the fact he was unexpectedly propelled to being the opposition leader by Momentum also indicates that he is being used as a figurehead by extremists/activists, and I don’t need to read the papers to work that one out.
Mock BJ all you want but there are very few UK politicians who could have got to a deal with the opposition and the ambushes placed in front of them. Corbyn certainly couldn’t have, even when he might have wanted to, if he ever did.
