How do you know this, I heard the opposite that they come here specifically because they can get away without paying. That was from an immigration officer. What's your source? Did they also say they get free money and a free flat and steal our jobs?

Aren't you in Scotland? Thought you got free prescriptions? Dentists and opticians are subsidised if your in a particular income bracket Yes, it costs, you pay tax and NI and you get that back. But you'd trade all that in because some people abuse it (0.3% of the budget when i checked). Don't we all lose then? Yes prescriptions are free in Scotland but not in England.

And you always believe official figures of course. Anecdotal In the past health tourism has been under reported as people were registered as UK citizens by sympathetic NHS staff. I think today it's a lot harder but how many people are still getting treatment they are not entitled to because they got onto the list when there were no proper checks and I doubt anyone is going to back check. Come to think of it how many people are on the GP list who are dead or have moved away? Edited by Badger11 (03 May 2019 4.34pm)

With regard to your previous comment....Yes many do arrive and immediately ask for a house and money...but presumably you know better than me

No way is it 0.3 in London. I wouldn’t be as bothered about the number of health tourists as the number of doctors in London who can’t speak English properly. I didn’t see a doctor for forty years who had English as a first language. Worked out well when one signed me off for a month because he didn’t understand what I had told him.

A voice from the inside for you PP. Just maybe official figures are underestimated but of course, you agree with official figures when they meet with your agenda

I'll make a prediction. I can only see the pure party loyalists out there voting Tory or Labour. The Brexit party will win by taking most of the Ukip and a large chunk of the Tory vote.....and the remain vote will mostly go to either Change or the Liberals......Probably more the liberals because they were always remain. It makes sense for either leave or remain to choose one party and not split their vote....even if they have to hold their nose a bit. I guess we will see how that pans out. Edited by Stirlingsays (04 May 2019 10.40am) I wholeheartedly concur and Farage will be beaming like a TV gameshow dollybird the next morning. The final humiliation is now being delivered upon us in the form of the European elections – elections to an institution we voted to leave three years ago. These negotiations have become a national humiliation and a joke. It is May that has allowed this to happen. We Tories need a new leader who may not be able to change the Commons numbers overnight, but can bring a vision, win hearts and minds and believes in a Global Brexit.
