You were responding to my comment about a guy who was using his legal skills to get free old age car for his mother, we were not discussing general NHS care until you embarrassed yourself with a lack of knowledge on the matter. Having posted your comments regarding the fairness of people who have saved and accrued wealth having to pay you’ll have difficulty claiming you were not engaging in a discussion on care in old age. But I’m sure you will at least try.

Sorry, I like dealing with the reality of how it is. Your fanciful thoughts on why some folk aren’t sufficiently wealthy to fund their own care in old age are just that, fanciful. Your statement “For those who have worked, paid tax and NI, NHS care is not a benefit. It's an entitlement” reads like an assertion of fact, all be it misinformed.

Incorrect. Care in old age is means tested. I thought you worked in the care industry and if so how are you not aware of that fact. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/social-care-and-support-guide/help-from-social-services-and-charities/financial-assessment-means-test/#:~:text=A financial assessment or means,savings less than £23%2C250.

Can you tell me the last time the UK electorate were not able to replace the UK Government by means of an ejection?

Forgive me, it was a typo, an error on my part. My intended term was ‘asylum seekers’

The failing Government’s failing policies are not going to continue beyond the next election.

If you’ll be more precise on who the ‘dealers’ are I’ll be able to say whether I agree or not.

“this is a typical online tactic employed by trolls” I’ll bow to your expertise on the matter.

He, the (corporate ) lawyer, earning more than a few quod, would like tax payers to pay for his mum’s care to protect his inheritance.

I’ve been in discussion with one this past few weeks, a guy who’s mother needs continuous care, he’s a lawyer and trying everything he can think of to get the NHS to pay for her care in order that she doesn’t have to use her own money. Money he hopes to inherit when she dies. Maybe it’s right that people on low incomes should pay taxes to take are of someone with significant financial means in order to pretext the inheritance of their children. But of course that, as with your own objection, is individuals looking for the state to take care of them, not individuals taking care of the duties of the state. I’m a supporter of the charity ’Soldiers off the streets’ but my support doesn’t run to taking a soldier off the streets and taking them into my own home. That I don’t take a soldier off the streets into my home does not diminish my support for the ‘soldiers off the streets’ charity. The argument that individuals should take i asylum dealers is nonsense.

Why should private individuals undertake the duties of the State? Do you go out and sweep the streets, clean the drains, fix the roads or any other of the tasks dealt with by government local or national?

Go to the top of the thread, you’ll find a clue to the country under discussion.

Sorry you feel short changed. I don’t have any mates in France who are in anyway commented to immigration policies or diplomatic relations with the UK. I spent most of the summer dealing with the NHS, almost every single medical professional I came across was a foreigner, as were most of the support staff. The cost of providing accommodation to asylum claimants is directly related to the Government’s failure to clear asylum seekers and deport bogus asylum seekers (nobody is objecting to bogus asylum seekers being deported - the Government need to get on with it). Merkel dealt with Putin pushing refugees towards EU borders. As a general note, if you go off on another of your rants, I don’t owe you a response to all your ill informed nonsense.

Millions have entered the UK illegally? Are you exaggerating?

The UK Government having to comply with UK law. Utterly shocking.

Why does the gender of the spokesperson matter?

Back to the UK and BREXIT. What happened to that promise to get control of the UK’s borders?

Sunak was born in the UK, he’s British.

So you don’t understand that as Sunak shoots from the hip it takes time for Labour to respond: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/09/20/rishi-sunak-news-live-suella-braverman-net-zero-latest/#:~:text=Key moments&text=Labour has pledged to reinstate,the policy for five years.

Do you have a link that refutes it? If so please share.

Ford made announcement on the matter last year: https://amp.theguardian.com/business/2022/dec/01/ford-plans-125m-electric-vehicle-investment-at-halewood

BREXIT has passed its zenith. A couple of cold winters should finish off it’s already dying support.

Nothing to do with your Dianne Abbot thing Johnny, and everything to do with the response of industry leaders to Sunak’s U-Turn.

Good luck with that. See you at the election.
