Porcupine & mr e are typical of the left, THEY see something that may contain a race, they attack without doing any research on the matter. It was clerical error aided by the last labour government. I am missing Studyform as he would be melting over all of this, hopefully we can see it soon. |

By:
treat others as you would expect to be treated. i can only imagine the outrage when they start deporting the
British from wherever. Have you ever noticed the British overseas are not immigrants, they luxuriate in the term expatriate. I think we should focus on the ex |
|
By:
The term 'expatriate' applies to anyone living outwith their native country.
For those directly affected by this then compensation will be paid. I don't think many will disagree with that but I saw one woman claiming it had caused her anxiety (nothing actually happened to her) and said that"Compensation would be nice, it would help me". Kerching for some. |
|
By:
so we can now call all foreign people expatriates unless they are citizens then we can stick to that,
problem solved. Thanks akbula |
|
By:
What has the government done wrong? As far as I know noone has been deported.....it's a clerical issue that everone is working hard on to resolve.
Has anyone been deported / imprisoned etc?? |
|
By:
northanlite, I think an expatriate is generally someone who arrives with enough money to look after themselves. Immigrants generally tend to want looking after.
|
|
By:
i think the only real difference is immigrants intend to stay, expats are temporary. If that definition is right then a lot of the
eastern Europeans that came to work here were incorrectly referred to as immigrants as they intended to return home. |

Time limited work permits with no right to the free NHS, Housing benefits, free education etc is the answer.
Having said that if people were told something different we cannot go back on it now. Going forward big changes are needed. Other countries do very well with a permit system. People can live for generations in places like Switzerland without citizenship. We give it away too easily. |
|
By:
so if a foreign worker becomes ill we just leave them to it?
surely these future work permits will see taxes paid and health care provided, |
|
By:
Most countries you have to have health insurance to get the work permit.
Why should we give free healthcare to someone from outside the country? |
|
By:
because they would be subject to uk taxes, if on minimum wage they could not
afford health insurance, unless you forced the employer to provide it. i doubt the tories would vote for that |
|
By:
If you go to work in Saudi or USA or Australia or Dubai etc you don't expect free healthcare.
|
|
By:
i wouldnt expect to go there and earn peanuts
average uk health insurance is £30 a week for a decent policy no idea how much non brits get charged |
|
By:
It is all part of the cost of coming here to work.
Companies getting people here on min wage and expecting the rest of us to pick up the bill for tax credits, healthcare, education, housing etc are milking the middle class tax payers. We are far to soft. |
|
By:
its all part of our tax system
i agree folk should be paid by their employer and not the state but when the health service is funded by taxation and imported labour is paying tax, then we should supply healthcare for them if you go to usa then there is no national health service so you need insurance, your taxes would not be paying for it |
|
By:
Health care is part paid for by taxes paid by those earning over about £40k a year.
It is part paid for by the accumulation of healthcare assets over the generations. It is part paid for by increasing the national debt. It is definitely not paid for by low paid workers who have just arrived here. |
|
By:
its part paid by them paying next to nowt too
you are just unrealistic in your outlook maybe you are serious, maybe its to impress others, who knows |
|
By:
the treatment of windrush migrants has been shameful
they must have thought they would be an easy target and the abuse of them would go down well with some voters. probably correct judging by some of the horrid comments on here |
|
By:
I agree. We should stand by what we offered historically. They are British. That is how the system worked back then.
I don't think anyone is debating that. But going forward we need a more sustainable policy. |
|
By:
it is sustainable to fund health care by taxation
no privatisation by the back door |
|
By:
If people do not pay you end up with people over using the NHS.
|
|
By:
Then you ensure everyone pays their fair share so that it is free at point of care. Otherwise, it becomes less a right and more a privilege.

Almost four in ten (38 per cent) of these self-treatable casualty visits were for a sprain, 17 per cent flu, 13 per cent colic, and 13 per cent an insect bite.
Over £2.4bn is year is wasted on unnecessary drugs and treatments. In Wales alone there are 30,000 unnecessary ambulance call outs a year. The list goes on. Once you make something free people abuse it. |
|
By:
That is 38% of GP appointments are unnecessary.
£1bn a year is wasted on missed GP appointments. (10 million appointments missed) |
|
By:
300,000 outpatient appointments are missed a year in Wales alone.
|
|
By:
About 11% of outpatient appointments are no shows.

£400m a year is spent on IVF.

Lets just hope that all affected by this idiotic blunder get all the compensation they truly deserve.
|
|
By:
Watch the stampede for compensation if anyone manages to get any which I doubt.
This immigration gets better, suing the country for damages that kept them for decades. It's called biting the hand that feeds you. |
|
By:
If they take back lenny henry and Abbott ,then discuss compensation.
|
|
By:
It's called biting the hand that feeds you.
It's really not. It's called being locked in detention centres, losing your jobs, losing access to health care, being threatened with being separated from the rest of your family and forcibly repatriated to a country you've never lived in before, being treated without a shred of dignity of empathy or frankly any capability. |
|
By:
anyone who is legally here will not be deported, it is a fairly simple task for anyone to prove that they arrived in Britain before 1971 and were here legally
ok it may take a little time, but people should be helpful especially when we look at the problems this country faces with illegal immigration |
|
By:
some people might not give too hoots about people being here illegally
that's not good |
|
By:
PP's breaking my heart.
|
|
By:
It's called blowing things completely out of all proportion in an effort to milk the system.
|
|
By:
Again, no it's not. It's called being an absolute tripe hound who's only reasoning is whether something fits his pre-conceived agenda and allows him to either attack the left, defend the right, or group all "immigrants" together and denigrate them.
|
|
By:
nothing could blow this disgrace out of proportion
|
|
By:
It's already been blown out of all proportion.
