    Yes one of many reasons people come to the UK for instant money of large proportion.


    I was not on this occasion questioning the validity of this, I was merely suggesting it's hardly austerity Britain - have you seen the money and resource that follows a child with diabetes, quite something, so again, hardly austeirty
    Are you saying they were using the NHS illegally....if they were I agree with you. Or were you making inferences from your own prejudices?

    All you are doing is swapping one set of bureaucrats for another. I have less in common with the set of bureaucrats from within the UK....than I do with the Eurocrats. At least the Eurocrats were more objective and had a wider vision. Our Bureaucrats are small minded little Englanders....the fact that they are British means nada!

    you were rather foolish if you really believed that he wasn't partial to making money.
    but then we have been discussing your refusal to accept reality in other areas of Uk life.
    Is that the new 'reality' of the return to Victorian Britain were men are men, women are grateful and black and minorities know their place?

    And this is now:
    European Parliament votes to block Turkey's attempts to join EU

    Totally meaningless gesture. It's for the Commission to determine, not the MEPs.

    Brexit: UK facing ‘dreadful decade’ as living standards slip


    Britain faces a “dreadful decade” of stagnant living standards, with earnings growth over the next five years cut in half by the vote for Brexit.


    http://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/brexit-uk-facing-dreadful-decade-as-living-standards-slip-1-4300564

    Yep....

    Project Porkies lies are being exposed more and more by the day.

    No wonder a majority of people now want Britain to stay in the EU.

    Doesn't the EU parliament voting to freeze the negotiations (even if it just a gesture) just prove that in fact yes they are in the process of joining the EU?

    Are you still predicting recession and hundreds of thousands of job losses Hamish?

    So where's all this austerity then, we spend vast eye watering sums every day?

    I couldn't agree more. However I don't feel that cutting funding to people who need it is something we should do under austerity, when we're spending billions of stuff like Trident.

    No he didn't. He's a wealthy member of the establishment who wanted fame and money. He's getting that is now sodding off to let everyone else deal with the fallout.

    sadly you are total denial about the issues being discussed which is about how PC attitutes contributed to the child abuse issues in Rotherham, Oxford, Alyesbury, Bristol etc....

    instead you try to suggest that confronting such problems is somehow related to returning to Victorian Britain along with racist views : this is EXACTLY the attitude that allowed these abuses to continue for so long.
