If there's one billion pounds put aside for cancer treatment and there's 60million people instead of 56 million people then there's less to spend per head
If you paid for something and then was told that you would have to share it with an economic immigrant you would soon have something to say . Just because it's the n h s people don't think they own it they think the government owns it and pays for it WE THE PEOPLE WHOS PAID FOR IT OWN IT .. AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD WE LET THIS JEWEL IN THE CROWN BE USED AND DESTROYED BY AN INFLUX OF ECONOMIC IMMIGRANTS WHO THINK ITS THEIR RIGHT TO USE AND ABUSE OUR SYSTEM |

If we got rid of thr nhs and got a reduction in our tax to buy health insurance would be a better way that way they only get paid for the work they do and half the worlds low lifes would not be making their way here

When I asked for source I meant who is confirming the number of boats or migrants. Anyhow, it seems its the border force that quoted that number.
Do you people ever wonder how these people can make it to the shore undetected? Do you believe it when the news says a certain amount of migrants made it to the shore undetected? Do you know what it means when the news says the border patrol 'rescued' a certain number of migrant boats? |

By:
Can the rescuers not take them back to france, negating the trip in the first place? Bringing them where they want to go obviously just encourages them.
(Same goes for Libya). |

By:
There aren't any rescuers here. There are only people in the sea tasked to ensure these people get to their destination safely.
The same thing happened in 2016. The Italian Navy kept 'rescuing' migrants. The govt feeds you information. You start whining. There might have been a single boat. There might have been a hundred boats. There may have been thousands of boats already this year. But all of a sudden out of nowhere people are concerned about 13 boats. Why? Because that's what the media just fed them. Germany took a million migrants. That number could have been three million or five million. But people were only told about the one million. So people only complain about the one million. That is the nature of the general public. They only criticize the govt on the information the govt feeds them. What has been more bothering to me however is that no one ever bothers to ask the authorities why or even how this is happening. How is it even possible that these boats make it to the shore undetected? In 2016, while the libyan boats were entering Europe every day, there was a news item about Russia smuggling oil and weapons through EU waters. No one ever bothered to inquire how we can detect that but not migrant ships. All people worried about was why are there only young men among the refugees, why do they have iphones in their hands etc etc. The same is happening now in the UK, and people still can't see past the africans they see in the paddy shop(not targeted at the person who posted that above). |

It's pretty much like patrolling a shop looking for shoplifters and if you catch them, you take them to the front of the shop and help put the items they wanted in their pockets and pat them on the arse and send them on their way. Giving people exactly what they want is not exactly going to to disincentivise them.

In the case of migrants, its not a case of shoplifting but a case of them not being allowed in the shop in the first place. The fact that they are in your shop should be questioned, not that they are stealing. That might well be their national sport.
People can enter a shop for no reason. Maybe even just to enjoy the heating for a few minutes because its too cold outside. But people cannot enter national territory for no reason, especially when they don't even have the right documents. The fact that they are being allowed to enter should be questioned, not their behavior afterwards. If you whine all day about people not allowed in your shop stealing your stuff, but you never ask the guard at the door why he's letting them in, then you are the perfect example of how the public behaves. You criticize what you see and what directly affects you(your goods being stolen), without asking the person supposed to protect you why he isn't doing his job. |

If I had written, "there's none so blind etc..." you'd have accused me of abusive language or somesuch, akabula.
Anyway: https://fullfact.org/health/how-much-does-uk-recover-health-costs-eu/ Less than a 0.7% impact on the NHS budget. Also a 10% increase on population (talking about "origins" of patients, is plain wrong, btw) isn't as harmful as the 60+% cuts to the NHS in living memory, but you're so busy being political, that the media line and a few like-minded mates is paramount. No-one ever mentions that 362,000 hospital beds in 1979 is down to 160,000 hospital beds in 2018. This isn't the problem is it? So it's "right back at ya" with the not seeing stuff comment. |
|
By:
So this cut in hospital beds accounts for the delay in getting a doctors appointment which was the original point?
 |
|
By:
We cannot let them drown if we can save them, that is inhumane
Detaining them and then returning them to their original country seems the best idea to me? They can plead for asylum, but must have a good case. We can try returning them to France but doubt they would accept them, and they would probably try to reach us again anyway. |

By:
France has zero interest in taking back anyone. Just like Britain has zero interest in taking back anyone that leaves for France.

 true detravellerA lot of these people have already risked their lives getting across the Mediterranean. They come from countries destabilised by war, and with no hope for the future. But we cannot allow unlimited immigration, it is placing too much strain on our own infrastructure. It may be cruel, but so is life, survival of the fittest, our governments first responsibility is to the people who already live and work in this country. |

The MASSIVE ongoing cuts, year after year, of which the hospital beds is just one thing that's easiest to find. And as I wrote, but most of which you chose to ignore: It's what we've come to after 60% of hospital beds have been scrapped in 40 years, and nearly all the country's cottage hospitals have been closed or sold off, and ambulance stations have been closed, ambulances run by private companies, and huge amounts of the NHS land has been sold to private enterprise, and GP's have become triage operatives, walk-in centres virtually all closed and fortunes lost to "Trusts" and their managers. A&E's decimated (literally), billions squandered on failed computer systems and so many other government driven problems. All cuts year on year for 40 years. and the resulting extra pressure which has subsequently been foisted upon GPs. Or do you think that those who can't get to hospitals easily don't go to the doctor instead? Doctors aren't blaming the problems on population, THEY blame it on government. I'd rather believe doctors than the Mail. The Mail/Govt/NHS managers, are all happy to blame immigrants, population, pensioners, smoking, anything that keeps them in money and work. |

Given that then isn't it stupid not to have controls on immigration?
In years gone by immigrants coming to this country were motivated by work. ie they could improve their living standards here whilst contributing. Nowadays they are motivated in the main by benefits and contribute nothing. |

By:

Where do you get this information? Is it factual? I have no desire to see mas immigration, but I won't blame it on all our problems. Perhaps there would be fewer refugees if our government stopped selling arms to the regimes that make them refugees in the first place! |
|
By:
The BMA must take some blame for the lack of doctors, twice in recent years they advised the government to reduce the number of training places. One of the reasons was to avoid over supply, believe it or not.

Look at the migrants we took in at the height of the crisis.
Over 100 went to the Isle of Bute. How many job vacancies are there on Bute? None with plenty of locals having to work away. All went straight on benefits with private housing bought to house them despite the waiting list for locals. This was multiplied thousands of times throughout the UK. We should only be taking people who have jobs to go to and will contribute immediately. Australia and Canada used this criteria when they started the assisted passage scheme in the 50s/60s and still do. |

 You mean they are now parachuting in now do wah If we look at individual countries, people tend to migrate to the places which are most prosperous ie the cities What is happening now, is we live in a world where people from poorer countries migrate to the richer countries, the same principle. The effect of this is the more prosperous countries will become much more mixed race. |

Akabula is right. The biggest motivation for these people is free money, except the few deserving that do indeed flee war. I know this because I talked to hundreds of them during their registration in Germany. At that time people were on about how the muslims are invading Europe because it says so in the koran or how koran tells them to breed their way to dominance etc etc. There were even posters here like moisok who were posting verses from the koran and whenever i'd tell them that these people aren't motivated by religion but by free money they'd call me a muslim apoligist. No one then was willing to believe that the govt is importing them. That's why it was so easy to do it back then. There is also a mafia that controls these routes. This mafia is backed by politicians of the areas these immigrants come through. Everyone pays a fee. In 2016, Pakistani refugees told me it only took 15 days to move from Pakistan to Germany. In 2017 there was an incident in Iran(or maybe border with Pakistan) where about two dozen people were found dead in a container. The families of these people told the media that they had given money to human smugglers to arrange the journey to Europe. At that time the money was equal to about 800 euros. This is how low the fees had become because every smuggler knew they had control of the territory till Greece and after that Germany wasn't leaving anyone unattended anyways. |
