If this had happened in the U.S of A and a British subject had been refused treatment in a U.S hospital, there would have been an AB outcry fiercely abusing the barbaric American health system.
Now it seem that the UK is finally waking up and "smelling the coffee."

Ladykiller, Mikey!!!!! That beats immoral Alba!

[ladybirder]

I might change it to that next time we are given the chance;-)

Nurse! NURSE!!

Mr Gromit's been missing his meds again ...

My Mum would fail the initial proof of I.D. bit as she's never had a photo identity driving licence or a passport, but was born here and has lived here all her 76 years.

Addenbrokes is even more strict in this than I told you.
Last week I went to a clinic in outpatients, as soon as I got to the desk I was asked how long have you lived in the UK?
I told them and waited my turn, the doctor then told me to go to X ray, X ray again asked how long had I been in the UK. They took the X ray and sent me to have a blood test , again I was asked ''how long have you been in the UK?'' Finally I had to give a urine sample and take it to another clinic. Yes, once again I was asked 'How long have you been in the UK?'' Even more daft as the clinic staff know me by sight now.

oh dear, another attempt by sqad to have a go at the finest health system in history falls flat on it's face.

Gromit, I've just reported that, What The Funicular???

[Samuraisan]

TTT, I am afraid to tell you the Spanish NHS is as good as the the British. Funnily enough, fully equipped hospitals, appointments available on-line within a day or two for non urgent consultations with GP, don't have to deal with your infamous receptionists who apparently decide whether you need to have an appointment or not, and so on.

Haha @21.01. ;00

[DTCwordfan]

Now, now, nothing like a bit of craic-kow against the Eastern Europeans....all a bit slavish perhaps...

[ummmm]

Kval -I think Gromit was being sarcastic...

[DTCwordfan]

The young woman's double-barrelled name with 'in the NHS' anagrams out as ''Snazziest, mawkish charmer hen.'

[kvalidir]

Didn't strike me that was at all Ummm but if he was then my apologies- I don't come on here frequently enough anymore to keep tabs on who is a foaming at the mouth racist and who is a cutting edge 'sarcastist', in any event someone else as stupid as me will read it take it seriously and think it's an okay thing to say on here.

[ToraToraTora]

"TTT, I am afraid to tell you the Spanish NHS is as good as the the British." - no it is not. My sister had a baby in spain and they where more interested in the paper work. Barbarians all.

[Togo]

Haha even more @ 21.36. No they won't! They will see a post that is an indication of someone primed and ready to take offence. Deep joy. :))

[naomi24]

This reporting lark is pathetic. I don't like what you've said so you can't say it. Perlease!!!

[vetuste_ennemi]

If you'd ever read Robert Conquest's "The Great Terror" you'd understand how the Stalinist mind works, Naomi.

If you want the management summary (the Conquest book is a big tome) you'll find it in "1984".

[naomi24]

v-e, I've read that several times - '1984' that is.

[vetuste_ennemi]

I know you have. Unfortunately any of today's youngsters who may have read it may think of it as an allegory. The Conquest book documents the reality between 1918 and Stalin's death. No allegory - literal truth.

And all the "intellectual" set and every fashionable lefty in the West (including the Roosevelts) admired this man. Just as the Chomskys supported Castro and Chavaz.

They never admit they're wrong, do they?
