Politicians are wrong about what the public want


So the, out of touch political elite are trying to say that the public would be happy to cough up an extra £2000 a year, per household to prop up the NHS? 

Advertisers website
Wrong! While many British families struggle to make ends meet, the political elite thinks that people will be glad to fund a failing business that is being run into the ground because of their failed policies on how the NHS is managed?

No. This just shows that we have monkeys running our country! Many people on Facebook have shared the above post on various pages; a large number of those people don't even do politics. If our political elite were more than just yes men weighed down by the chains of political correctness, they would see that the people of Britain have had enough. 

Ever increasing taxation to try and fix their mistakes? 

Continuiosly using the NHS as a stick to beat the opposition or a classic party political paper dragon! (Paper Dragon): a politician or political party who campaign to fox the problems they, themselves, cause or have caused by trying to ensure their political future! Some even create the problems intentionally so as to give themselves a reason to campaign (making themselves look busy).

The public are sick of self serving politicians who are detatched from the general public they are supposed to serve!

The revolution will come and only those truly democratic, populist politicos, with the courage of their convictions,  will survive.

    1. Mmm. “truly democratic populist politicos”... that’s the sort of justification one might expect from a Mussolini or a Pinochet...

      Ranting about the state of the nhs, blaming politicians and foreigners, while rejecting the idea that if we want decent services we might need to pay for them. It’s incoherent, ugly politics. Very brexit.

    4. Are you stupid?
      Every time some one speaks common sense , we get morons like you calling ppl right wing, racist etc.
      Well moron , try going to Egypt for example and gettin treatment.
      No insurance = no treatment , or if must treat,need your passport then here’s your bill, don’t pay then passport isn’t returned til you do.
      Now here in uk ppl come get treatment no questions asked, no bill.
      That’s why we get health tourists. Pregnant women come just to give birth, free, cos in their country even that they have to pay to do.
      It needs stopping . If you haven’t paid nhs for at least 5 years, then pay for treatment

    5. Anyone with half a brain can see if you take in thousands of immigrants and so called asylum seekers with their families it is going to add to the cost of running our services. Also, as a visitor to foreign countries I take out medical insurance in case I need treatment. Why should all and sundry come here and get treatment for free?

    9. I was born and bred in Scotland but now living in Egypt and when I return to Scotland I have to take out health insurance to cover me as I have been told I am no longer entitled to free NHS even although I get a British state pension.

    14. It's very simple. millions of immigrants into the country who plead the fact they are fleeing a violent wartorn country. If that were so you would stop at the first safe country you came across. Not make your way to a little island, crossing many safe counties getting there. These people are here for one reason. To take advantage of the nhs and benefits system here. All the while our children are being groomed, sold as sex slaves, raped and even murdered. Our people being tageted by them in gangs and terrorist attacks. It IS NOT racist or far right wing. Its called being a realist and not a total dimwit. These people who label people like me racist ect are a disgrace. Sticking up for these people while our children, hundreds of thousands of them, maybe more, are being targeted. If I'm racist for being educated about what is happening to our country and wanting to do something about it then I'll gladly take that label. Maybe more of you should start worrying about their own people and not these economic migrants who have no respect for their host country. Its people or it's customs and laws. I'm 100% certain your tunes would change if one of your children or memeber of your family was effected. It shouldnt come to that for people in this country to show a bit of loyalty to their own people.

  4. The NHS do charge non-residents already, also we have a mutual agreement with European countries that basic emergency treatment will be available for us Brits in Europe, hence the E111 card. Non emergency treatment results in a bill from the hospital - a few weeks or more after your treatment. I wish people would get their facts right; the A&E depts are mostly full of UK citizens, with lots of elderly people who tend to end up filling beds as they cannot care for themselves at home & there isn't enough care in the community. This also means that others have to wait for beds

    7. Its a very easy system to understand if u live in European u can register for a EHIC.

People can move from europe and live in the uk and as long as they are here exercising the correct rights (PAYING THERE TAXES...) They are entitled to treatment free of charge. People can move from outside europe to the uk and as long as they have a VISA or are on NASS support(for asylum seekers without help) they are also entitled to free nhs care. may i just add also the have a NHS NUMBER does not and never has entitled anyone to free nhs care and its is purely and reference number and anyone can register to get one.....

    1. Yes you are correct! But you are forgetting one main point with your comments . That being the point of filling the form in to make a claim for the people that have received treatment, the U.K. settle any payments demanded from these other EU countries, within a few months, but when it come to these other EU countries settling their demands for payments, is another story, the ROI now have a outstanding debt to the UK for NHS services provided to their citizens, is at this moment standing at around £473 million, this as built up over the last 15 years, seeing there is many ROI citizens living in the UK, than the amount of U.K. citizens living in ROI, last year the U.K. paid back to ROI on demand of a bill of £46 million paid in full, but the U.K. government sent a bill to ROI for £38 million and only got paid £19 million, now if this is happening all over the EU members, the figures would be out of all proportion as to the U.K. NHS losing out once again, it seems come one come all to me, their governments are approving of this state of affairs, being party to the fraud, but again nobody ever mentions this fact, all adding up to the real cost of being a member of the EU!

  8. Some Europeans that come here to live are only here for the benefit system so therefore aren’t paying their taxes and before anyone calls me a fool i know this is true as there was a documentary on tv not that long where some Europeans admitted they were only here for the benefit system as they get given an NI number then register with gp and then get into the benefit system one bloke was sending his benefit back to his country to build his house and on camera he said im going home for a few days to do work on my house paid by Britain then I’ll be back and I’ll bring one of my other kids with me so he can get into the system and be registered with a gp and the programme even showed him doing all the registration and he then turned round and said my son is now on the benefit system and he’ll get child benefit and he will be going back home to his mum and he brought another child back with him and repeated it all so how can these people be allowed to do this

As soon as thwy got that they immediately claim benefits. I cannot believe how deluded a big portion of this country is. Instead of doing their own homework they discredit what is actually the truth, just because they read something on one of their deluded leftie snowflake groups on fb.

  9. Do correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the idea to add an extra penny in the pound on income tax to help fund the NHS? Which if I'm not mistaken works out as an average of £2,000 per average household, not as each actual household actually paying an extra £2,000 each year?

People need to get their priorities right in this country. These very same people come her, abuse our nhs and benefits system, they target our children who are being groomed, gang raped, sold as sex slaves. But where are all you leftie snowfalkes then??? Don't see the massive outcry about the hundreds of thousands of our own children who have so far been effected. Out of sight out of mind. Unless it effects you peraonally. If that were to happen you would soon change your tunes. If one of your children or a member of your family were to god forbid become one of those poor little victims. But yeah lets for get about that and call anyone who dares to bring these things up a racise, a biggot or far right wing. Those of you on here who are quick to throw insults and brand their own people who don't share your uneducated views as racist ect ect yawn ect.

And before you start going crazy because i dared to say that.....islam is the biggest most worrying danger our country faces. And guess what????? Thats not racist. ISLAM IS NOT A RACE!!!!!

    1. The NHS was never "free". The UK working population who pay taxes finance it. This is why all users should be carefully screened and only treated if they have contributed NI payments or are too poor or infirm to contribute. Immigrants should have compulsory health Insurance until they complete a minimum period of taxed employment.

    2. Couldn't agree more. It's worrying just how many uneducated people there are in this country, who are so quick to spit the word racist or far right wing, all for saying it wxactly how it is. Anyone with half a brain cell can see that these immigrants pass over many many safe countries to make their way here. They are here to take advantage of our nhs and benefits system. If you were to ask any immigrant in any other European country that wants to come to the uk, they will say they want to come here because they get money and housing for free. They use the a & e like their own personal doctors surgery and the nhs cannot cope with the massive sudden influx. If we were to stop it all the amount of people wanting to come here will be a fraction of what it is now. That's besides the fact that a hige majority of these people cannot stand our people and are violent, dangerous people who are a danger to our national security. Fact. I cannot believe that they are able to come here, taget our children, hurt our children and nobody is doing a thing about it. Instead you get idiots, like some on this thread that instead will stand up for these people and target their own people, branding them racist, for saying it how it is. For being concerned about our children being groomed and raped and far worse. People need to take a step back, shut their mouths and get their priorities right.

  18. Thank you for this post, and very true. A lot of so called do gooders, will shout, as they always do, when the truth is spoken. Bodies that lay in wait for posts just like this. Yes politicians are a disgrace, any politician that tries to get their own way which is different than the majority, is doing so, only to be awkward and hold up what the electorate has voted for. What next I ask, what happens when the next general election comes round and their party is elected, will we wait over 2 years before they take up power. The country voted to leave, yes we all know that the Prime minister at the time felt the vote would be to remain and that shows how out of touch with the public he and his party, plus the shadow government also. Who knew before the vote that it was to take 2 years, yes not many I guess. The vote also was to close our borders and they are still wide open with migrants arriving every day, since the vot over a million have arrived and then there are the illegals that probably doubles that number. Remember they all get cars and all need homes and National care, remember these so called politicians whe you vote again and the do gooders that will shout this comment down

  23. I have been miss diagnosed by the NHS for 20 years and they forgot to report I had a Brain Tumour! If doctors did their job properly and treated patients at the first visit (before problems have escalated) then we may not have so many problems and queues. I had go private to get my broken coccyx repaired and several other complaints not properly diagnosed by doctors. I am fortunate that I can afford private medical insurance but that is because I have to work as the Labour government made it illegal for certain people to contribute to a pension scheme, of whom I am one! Otherwise I could have retired 10 years ago. I do say if I have to work the least the country can do is keep me fit enough to do it!

    1. The NHS is an amazing service but is really badly managed at the top.
      1. Re-empower GPs to diagnose and treat ppl instead of being a referral service to the hospital.
      2. Cut red tape and defence mechanisms at the hospital.
      3. Smoother running of care in the community to free up hospitals.
      4. Focus on systems that can actually be implimented rather than a brain child that doesn't work.
      5. Open minded, genuine feed back from the ground to the top and act on it.

      These simple 5 things that I've observed would save millions in the long run and make experiences more positive for patients and staff as well.

      Constructive discussion is far better than foul language or stupid name calling. Amazed at some peopLe.

  28. I have seen and heard if health tourism first hand as an nhs worker. People have told me that they come to the UK for treatment. I know this because I have looked after them.

    We may sometimes recoup the costs but nowhere near enough.

    I pay through my extortionate taxes already for service's in the UK and burn and bred here. I've always worked so not claimed benefit either. I cannot get the healthcare I need either for certain conditions I have and still end up paying again if I want treatment. We are crisis managing and have been for so long. We need to look ahead long term, not just 5 years. Dentists have 2 year waiting list for my child where we live and unless I pay she won't get seen. I'm sure we're not alone. Fast forward 15 years and we will have a nation of people with oral ill health that inevitably will cost more to treat long term.

    I cannot get a minor procedure for a condition...... it will cost the NHS more to manage that condition long term then treat the cause.

    Our country is short sighted when it comes to health and they find money where and when they need/want it but not where it should go to help your own nation.

  29. So what constitutes a foreign visitor. Someone who falls ill and travels here to get testament?
    Or someone who is of foreign birth and has lives here most of his life since child hood?
    Or both?

  30. Yes Politicians are very much out of touch with what the people want. The reason is simple. They don`t speak to the people that they are supposed to represent. We see them just before an election when they want our vote and never hear from them again. They are totally out of touch with what the people want.

  31. This is already the case, foreigners have to pay for treatment under the NHS, the problem come in enforcing it. From experience often staff can't be bothered to enforce it as happened with a French friend who had to go to A & E, and showed her EHIC card to which the staff said "we can't be bothered with that". How many times does this happen?

    1. Exactly right. Pregnant women come here to have their babies as they know noting is being done to enforce the law and not chasing up people for payment. If we were as strict as other countries, the amount of people wanting to make their way here would be a fraction of what it is now.

  32. Aren't foreign visitors already charged for using the NHS?

  33. Foreign visitor should have a medical insurance when I go aboard including EU countries I take out a medical insurance The UK should take note of Spain. All foreign visitor are treated in private hospitals.This would free up the over stretched NHS.

  36. Its a difficult one, i totally understand all the people who say theyve paid their taxes all their lives and so have a right to the NHS, and get that it may seem unfair that others get exactly the same benefits without paying the 1000's that so many others do. But, on the other hand, what doctor or nurse truly worth their salt would turn their backs on a human being in need of help. And if they where able to are they really the kind of people we could entrust the lives of the people we love most? Regardless of where someone is from, surely human lives matter more. Hiw desperate does another human have to be to cross counties to ensure they get the help they need in a safe environment?

    By the way i have no suggestions or solutions and im not here to dispute anyone. I just thinkat the point it's got to now there is no solution that is going to be good for everyone. Whoever in charge of creating a solution has an impossible task, as what seems like the only logically correct answer isnt necessarily morally correct, and personally i know id struggle to sleep at night knowing i was potentially instrumental in the deaths of thousands that had no where else to turn to, even though your just trying to fix the lives of the people belonging to the country. No winners.

  37. so if we abandon NHS or have it stopped as some suggested for insurance type medical cover which might cost a lot more in the long run will these immigrants have to pay for there treatments to on this new insurance type scheme? remembering if we been paying our National insurance for NHS for 50 odd years why should we lose our NHS because been Swamped by immigrants in the last few years is not our fault either so do we get refunds for all the years we paid into the NHS or just lose it because the powers that be over loaded it with none payers to the NHS system

  38. I would not go as far as to say most are terrorists but I do believe most are freeloaders.Immigrants going to Spain have to prove they have a job waiting or that they can support themselves with a pension or from savings.That does not seem to apply in the UK.
    I also have a problem with them reieving benefits but that is for another thread.

  39. When we applied for the first part of spouse visa, we paid 200£ per year and part thereof, first visa is 33 months so we paid 600£ in total. While here husband has continued to pay towards NHS via his NI contributions. He has been to GP once...,to have initial check up. Now nhs charge has been increased to 400£ per year or part thereof. Our second part is due end of this year. HE CANNOT CLAIM BENEFITS. He is not from EU....he had a police check and took an English test, which again he will have to do this year. UNLIKE people from EU, no test no police check. Before castigating "immigrants" remember some (non EU) will over course of the 3 parts over 5 years of visa be paying around 15k. Visas are a cash cow for the government.

  40. Tez I agree with the stats that you have documented but going on real life situation my Dr could not wipe his own back side without making a mistake overpaid under worked not fit for purpose, We need to weed the ghost doctors and replace with professionals who can diagnose without Googling it.

    1. That is a very stupid and uneducated comment. How dare you label anyone who, unlike yourself, can see that if you allow millions of foreigners into your country. There is going to ve more and more stress on our infrastructure. The nhscannot cope with the amount of immigrants using a&e like their personal doctors surgery. You ask anyone who works in a hospital and they will say the same thing. These people say they are fleeing a dangerous or wartorn country but go through many many safe countries to make their way to some little island thousands of miles away????? Get real! They are economic migrants and come here to take advantage of the nhs and benefits system. At the sa.e time our children are being groomed, raped and even murdered. They have no respect for our country, our people, our customs or our laws. And its people like you who are part of the problem. IT IS NOT RACIST FOR WANTING TO PROTECT OUR COUNTRY, OUR CHILDREN. I am not racist and i am not far right wing. I am a british citizen that is terrified at the state of our country and the amount of my own people who will protect and stand up for anyone but their own people. You should be ashamed!
