Why would I say that? Because this simply isn't the case - as has been pointed out several times, if you are here illegally you only get treatment if you are an emergency case

Who says you need to feel guilty?

It just about helping those less fortunate than yourself. Thats not being PC or lefty, its being, you know, "good".

Well thats just putting words into my mouth. I know that we cannot and should not treat anyone from anywhere (and have never said so). The difference here is that we WERE treating this poor woman, and then decided to stop and remove her...why is that so hard for you to understand?

I find it depressing the zeal with which people state their views, despite the fact that there is a human being on the wrong end of this issue. We may have sent her back to Ghana, but lets not celebrate the fact.

I also wonder which posts I am supposed to have ignored! I think you have run out of a defence for what appears to be a selfish attitude.

What you say in this post is no answer whatsoever, she should not have had been thrown out of the country while she was undergoing cancer treatment to keep her alive. If you ever find yourself with that terrible disease you might just begin to understand the principles involved.

I have given my views on uncontrolled immigration earlier in this thread and often enough before for that matter.

However let me ask you that if you lived in a stinking hole in Africa somewhere being run by a corrupt administration stealing the aid which has bee donated for you, what would you do about it?

PB, m2005 and Leslie, may i suggest you pay for her treatments if you feel that strongly about it.

Then shut the **** up!

If england was full of people like you, this country would be a free for all for anyone who decides england can offer a better life than their home coutry!

Why do no other "major" EU countries(france, germany etc) let tens of thousands of immagrants in every month?

Because its bad for the country, and they know it. England is full of pc pr1cks who let it happen, its writing this country's death warrant!

Oops...

Look what happens when you actually reasearch things instead of blindy following what "the bloke in the pub" said. Turns out, France has more than us - Imagine that.

Bad in what way? Do you mean a drain on resources? Despite immigration meaning the countrty is £6billion better off? How are you going to replace that money? Raise taxes?


I dont suppoort a free for all, but I do support controlled immigration.


What this has to with a poor woman sent home I dont know.

This is just a hysterical rant, and based palpable nonsense

You appear to have been seduced by the politics of fear, it preys on the weak minded and easily scared.

There is figure this government has to hit interms of tax revenue and GDP in oder to keep everything ticking over, right?

Britian as a whole is an aging population, you need to keep the working number at a level to bring in that tax revenue.

When you have a surplus of old people and not so many youn'uns paying the bills you need to do something.

This is why immigration is an absolutely essential part of the success of this country.

You need people to come here and work, and pay taxes in order to keep everything ticking over. (which the vast majority do, not all of them are freeloading scroungers, amazingly).

PB, france is 4 times the size of the uk, so they have 700,000 more immagrants in a country much, much bigger! see my point!

And bad for the country cos all the low skilled, low paid jobs have been taken up by immagrants, leaving no work for unskilled national people, so they go on the benefits!

And i agree "shut the **** up" wasnt an itelligent input, i just get wound up about this topic as i feel strongly about it!

The worst thing is, when they are settled in, they bring the rest of the family over, and the cycle gets bigger, it needs sorting now!

And m2005, i have a polish missus, and she showed me how bad the problem really is! Its not the politics of fear, its me seeing with my own eyes the extent of the problem!

PB, your last point in your last post is slightly wrong, most of the poles i know (and i know a few cos of the missus) work for cash in hand, so contibute **** all to our economy!

They have to go through France to get to Britain.

The French are building more detention centers near the Tunnel. Why? Not for the want of wanting them to stay. Just a shelter for them while waiting to walk through the tunnel. The French just don't want them staying in France.

Every new country that enters the EU starts a new influx of immigrants who want to come to Britain.

France, Germany etc put quota's on the amount of legal immigrants allowed into their country to work. Guess which country didn't?

What about those who come here not to work?

They get to immigration and plead that they will be killed if they go back. Granted asylum. They then apply for a house, benefits etc. They get them.

They don't work as they are getting free money. They then get family over from their original country, who don't work.
Crime rates go up as they want extra money, but obviously don't want a job to get it.

This is good for Britain????? Really?

Thousands are entering Britain every month. Can they all be good for Britain?

This country is getting worse and worse and will only keep getting worse. There are already no go area's in Britain for British people to go because of immigration. Is this good for Britain?

There is great resentment and anger within Britain because of immigration. Is this good for Britain?

I dom, but I don't agree that we are running out of space. We are concentrated into urban areas with vast expanses of countryside in between.

Problem is that not enough people are taking up traditional trades as careers. There has been a shortage of plumbers/builders/carpenters etc for sometime now - Mainly due to the big increase in people aspiring and getting to university. Someone has to do the labour intensive jobs, and Britians are prepared to.

Unemployemnt figures arent growing or changing significantly - so your assertion that people ar ebeing force donto the dole doesn't add up..

I'm not going to take you're anecdotal knowledge of polish friends as evidence of mass tax evasion.

Immigrants boosted UK tax revenue by $35 billion, report

£18billion in taxes raised from immigrant workers

A net gain of £6billion once you take out for services etc.

I suggest you read what's been said and you'll notice the points all three of you choose to ignore. I'll also say for the 3rd or 4th time, why aren't all three of you donating to her campaign? I still haven't heard where you'd draw the line on this. If she had Aids would you feel as strongly?

At least you know where the rest of us stand on the matter, we're not fence sitting or advocating more of us paying for the world's health.

If I do find myself with an illness like hers I've got an NHS to treat me as I've contributed to it through my taxes, I've also got private healthcare insurance. What I won't be doing is parking myself in another nation illegally and using their resources.

So you agree the substantive points you actually made were wrong?

Well going through France is by no means the only way of entering the UK

The French are not building any 'detention camps' near the Tunnel

The UK is one of the ONLY countries to have a quota system for new member state migration - which to me is hypocritical as we argued (rightly) the most for their inclusion.

I presume your offensive use of bad language betrays your lack of ability to express yourself in a civilised manner.

I have already quoted my feelings on uncontrolled immigration and you obviously have taken no notice of that before you decided to shoot your mouth off.

Just show us exactly where those of us you mentioned in your foolishly inaccurate post have advocated mass immigration.

You are using our expressions of the need for mercy by a civilised community for one terminally ill woman as an excuse to blame us for being PC which is totally ridiculous and also quite wrongly for wanting to flood this country with immigrants.

You would do better to wind your neck in instead of risking making a fool of yourself! Try to get your facts correct to start with.

It's quite odd that we get a whole lot of money from immigration yet the NHS and other public services are still pretty poor.

To be fair to Les, I wouldn't want him to be tarred with my lefty brush

He has, time and time again proven his conservative credentials.

But his thoughts in this topic prove that we are a mix of values and you cannot label a person as "conservative" or "liberal" about all matters at all times.

I am conservative about some things, I am liberal about others.


If someone as, and I hope he won't mind me saying this, "traditional" as Les feels compassion for this woman, then it gives me concrete hope that Scoobynet doesn't reflect the rest of the nation.

Poor in what way?


The problem with the NHS isn't with the amount of money or the amount of patients - It is how it is run.
