One silver lining to Brexit - the NHS as it exists will probably disappear

No. Health Visitor. Or Nanny-State as I like to call her.

My wife, incidentally, voted Leave. But then she spends her days working hard to resolve the impact of unconstrained migration. Whilst you and I do not.

We all paying for it though via taxes.

There was easy solution with immigrants - no benefits for 3-4 years, those from EU are easily deportable

Then it would have to apply to British people blah blah blah.

Of course everyone on here knows you just make a residence requirement that if you haven't lived in the UK for 5 years you have no recourse to public funds similar to what they have done with carers allowance through the backdoor. This means if you were educated in the UK pre-18 you are fine.

Germany got it through - they won in EU court that they can do it, as long as it applies to ALL foreigners, not just those from Poland or Romania.

Yup, very easy solution and Tory Scum could have easily done it... but they wanted to use it to get to what they really wanted - Brexit.

You're not very good with numbers or words.

Mind you, once you get past 12, you have to take your socks off to keep counting so it's only to be expected. ..

HUH! So how does Sas get past ten?

Ah right - Takes off his shirt first

Well. Firstly - As I have Stated on Numerous Occasions - I am one of the 48%.

Secondly I brought the whole subject up not to prove that all migrants are a burden ( they are not ) but as a counter to your simplistic world-view that migration has no negative impact on the NHS or on public services in general.

I posted a link that pointed out that compared to issues like non-EU migration, the elderly and the cost of drugs, the extra due to EU migration was tiny. But of course in the post truth age, facts are irrelevant.

Funnily enough the EU agrees with you. It turns out that there is some wording in the EU directive which says that no EU non-working migrant should have recourse to the public purse and that they should have private health insurance. It would be easy to flannel that so that even working low wage migrants were banned from the public purse (e.g. no tax credits) and had to have private insurance. That would have kept all but the most useful out.

Much cheaper than Brexit, what?

Nah, those accounts have not been signed off for years. Racing snake me!!

Sure. We believe you.

Didn't suit the Camoron agenda.
