ON THE big debate, Nigel Farage asked why not adopt the sensible Australian approach to immigration. Not one of the panelists supported him. When he suggested people coming here should have health insurance, still no support.
When he gave the statistics for the number of health tourists receiving expensive treatment for free, the leader of Plaid Cymru jumped up and down in indignation and when asked how many more she would allow in for free treatment, she wouldn’t reply. So she wants more money for the NHS on one hand, yet is prepared to give treatment to non-UK people while our cancer patients have to fight tooth and nail for support.
I’m afraid the obsession with political correctness is ruining this country. David Cameron spoke well and Nigel Farage.
The rest ducked and dived. Politicians, it’s time you realised it’s our money you are pouring down the drain. Listen to the people for a change!
