'Foreigners' at the hospital

[Gary L]

Went to the main QE hospital in Brum earlier. the amount of foreigners there was unbelievable.

they're not visiting people. they're there to get the free treatment.

How do you know the treatment was free? Were they wearing their "I've never worked and paid tax in the UK in my life" signs?

Yes.

[Russ]

And you were wearing your sign saying "I'm an ignorant bigot" then.

Yes.

I am totally against the EU freedom of movement act as I am sure everyone knows. I am also against the way EU member nations are somehow entitled to the same medical treatment as the nation you are visiting. This is very very biased against the UK. They come here get elective surgery etc we go there and get a bandaid and a big bill

I do not care if the likes of Russ calls me names as I am sure Gary does not either.

When it comes to this and Islam I am proud to be a bigot !!!!!

Reminds me of my previous GP surgery. If you had an appointment the day they had the mums+babies surgery too, literally all the women were polish.

Easy to tell as they speak Polish to each other and the ones that didn't had their name come up on the sign as something like xxx Kowalski.

On a normal day at the surgery it was obvious that most of the people waiting were not born in the UK. Even while waiting, all the people I saw talking at reception attempting to sign up with the surgery were foreign with many of them having very poor english.

Some will deny this is the case though and throw out the race and bigot card

I have since moved to another area, a mere 20 miles or so away and it is a completely different story. I have never seen anyone in the new GP surgery who is not white British. Where as white British were the minority where I lived before, I rarely see 'foreigners' now. I might only see one black person for every 500 white people I see. It is now out of the ordinary to hear someone speaking another language (except when the builders are working on the high street and speaking polish).

If this difference can happen in 20 miles, it is easy to see how many people people are cocooned and don't understand how bad the problem is, as they don't see it themselves.

Russ, to be fair, if they look like , lets say eastern europeans, and are speaking Romanian/Russian/Latvian etc. then they are unlikely to have paid their fair share of NI/tax (if any) to cover the treatment.

Me too. I just look at the do gooders as a social worker that defends the man that beats his wife up.
it's time this country sorted itself out.

if it makes you a bigot. then be a proud bigot.

Latest figures show that in February 9.2 per cent of all Jobseekers Allowance claimants were non-UK nationals.
It includes 35,000 from the EU, 35,000 from Africa, 33,000 from Asia and the Middle East and 6,500 from the Americas.
Poland tops the league table with 14,610 JSA claimants, followed by Pakistan 7,660, Somalia 7,120 and Portugal 5,860.
It also included 4,130 Iraqis, 3,620 Nigerians, 3,290 Jamaicans and 3,120 from France.

Even those working, how many of them are "taking" the Tax/NI from UK nationals would have been paying if those non-UK nationals weren't here?

We don't know that. All we know is that they apparently look foreign which is good enough for Gary to decide they shouldn't have treatment.

For the narrow minded - I've not said 'health tourism' doesn't exist. That's not what my comments were about.

And of course no thread moaning about "them coming over here" and "getting benefits" should ever fail to bring Islam in to the discussion

Sorry, can you re-word that question as I can't understand what you are asking......

If I said they were all black you'd say how do you know some of them haven't got masks on.

If I said they were all dropped off in a big truck that said "Immigrants transport from the border to the hospital" written on the side. you'd say how do you know it wasn't a joke.

The problem is there. it's going to get worse. it needs sorting.

all we have to do is ignore the do gooders and we can sort it.

can we count on you, Russ?
