"Outrageously, a refugee took a 250-mile taxi ride to a GP appointment and I’m sure this is representative of all refugee taxi rides. If the refugee was given a GP 250 miles away from where he lives, he should bloody well walk!"
They were "given a GP 250 miles away" from their home or place of residence? I don't claim to know much about the system over in "Jolly Old England", but it is a really f**ked up system that would "assign" a Doctor this far removed from any patients home. Or is that perfectly normal with your health care system?
From the article (which is even scarier than your post):
“Now the government has confirmed it has spent an average of around £15.8 million per year on transport for asylum seekers”.
That’s nothing! Here in the US, we’ve spent BILLIONS transporting asylum seekers! By airplane! To El Salvador! And God knows where else, because they won’t tell us. Or their families.
I knew you are not prone to "making Shit up" , but this just sounded so damn stupid, that it had to be made up, either that, or a genius government policy.
Heck, even here in the USA an undocumented person can show up at any Public Hospital and the law says that they MUST be treated or transported to another hospital to be treated regardless of their ability to pay or their immigration status.
Right now they can’t, or don’t, because they are afraid that ICE will be there waiting for them. It’s an empire of hate and it’s a metastatic turbo cancer.
“Public Hospital and the law says that they MUST be treated or transported to another hospital to be treated regardless of their ability to pay or their immigration status.”
The UK Labour Party has morphed into far-right extremists it seems.
Are they so desperate to cling to power that they believe they have to use Nigel Farage’s talking points and overtake him by moving even further to the right? Somewhere even the right side of the political spectrum ends and Labour might (deservedly) fall of the cliff and into oblivion.
Will they be allowed to travel to hospital in an emergency? If they are disabled are they expected to walk (or crawl) to the appointment which is often miles away?
In the article it says there will be exemptions, but it sounds difficult, and Shabana says she’s closing their hotels, so if they have to sleep in the street, it might as well be in front of their doctors’ offices. Problem solved.
I should have said “making it impossible to remain alive “ as dedicated government policy . There is more humanity and common decency in a lump of granite .
Once again, you hit that pesky refugee nail on its head. If only our leaders had an ounce of the common sense you so abundantly display, Laura, I'm sure everyone in this benighted country would be happier. Except refugees. And a few bleeding heart liberals. More power to your elbow!
Another own goal by Labour, this small token of compassion to an already persecuted body of people annoyed no one except extreme Reformers, but this unprincipled government ran scared. They have no principles so they have nothing to guide their decision making.
Pity the billionaires, they have a hard time figuring out the best way to take care of us all (and there's not enough of us!), not least those amongst us who have darker skin. That's why I sunbathe as much as I can, while the poor brillionaires stay indoors - and up at night, pondering and grovelling, turning paler and paler. Let's hope they won't wither away....
Wait, is this real?

The whole thing stinks to high heaven.
I didn't even make it up! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgjn2y4eed5o

Just remember. All these savings are put to good use. Like supporting the Zionists! How long are the Brits going to put up with this?
The Devil IsRael. The Antichrist.

Making remaining alive dedicated government policy …. 🤢🤢🤢
I should have said “making it impossible to remain alive “ as dedicated government policy . There is more humanity and common decency in a lump of granite .
Is that for real? LOL Wowzers, yeah that’ll show em.
But the point is 4 billion headroom is a piddling amount that was no good. The Chancellor ended up with over 20 billion and can breathe easily.

Surely the author means the Labour Government decides rather than the Party?
I know, can you believe these freeloaders?
