TIL: That entering a nation as an undocumented or illegal immigrant, and being asked to foot the bill for your non-necessary or non-urgent medical care, is “hostile.”
Cosmopolitan Labour has lost their ever-loving fucking marbles.
All legal UK residents including people with pending asylum applications already have this.
Er…. doesn’t everyone have it as long as they are a legal resident? If so then what is he trying to say?
I could get behind not charging them for urgent care after they have received it, as on a case by case basis most people aren’t going to say they should have just died from a heart attack if they couldn’t pay.
Elective treatment or non-urgent treatment seems the appropriate place to ask for proof of residence. This is less that I don’t trust the ill people, and more than I don’t trust either Labour or the Tories to not privatise the NHS at first opportunity by shouting about illegal immigrants making the NHS too expensive to run anymore.
We need to wait for a decade or so for the Brexit voting lot to die off a bit before we make too many changes, or it’ll just be an excuse to take more rights from us for disturbing the holy free market.
I really am struggling to see what Windrush has to do with it? That was an issue with people not having proof of long-term residency, as I understand it.
