No, and that is why I am asking you to explain, because you are wrong until you can explain otherwise IMO. You are typical of the PC brigade in that you poopoo an opinion purely because it does not fit in with your rose-tinted view of the world.

The fact is that tuberculosis and other diseases are now making a comeback in the UK. Why ?

Because nobody under 30 has heard of the BCG, never mind had one?

That rose-tinted view being anywhere to the left of Genghis Khan.

Because it wasn`t treated properly in third world countries causing it to mutate into becoming more resistant to treatment and therefore spreading again

From the BBC which I think bears out my argument that if you allow unfettered immigration from the Third World you will OBVIOUSLY get more disease imported :

QUOTE:
Some estimate that TB was responsible for around 20% of all deaths in England and Wales in the 17th and 18th centuries. In the 19th and 20th centuries there has been a steady decline in deaths from the disease in industrialised countries. This was given a boost by the development of penicillin and other antibiotics in he last 50 years.

But the decline began to level out in he 1980s and since then the incidence of the disease has started to increase again.

In the developing world TB has remained common. It causes more deaths world-wide than any other infectious disease - about three million a year.

Spread of the disease in the developing world has been blamed on poor nutrition, poor housing and poor general health. In particular, many people infected with HIV are also vulnerable to TB.

Idiots who don't trust doctors think that giving children immunisations is a bad idea.
Idiots who don't read or follow instructions are not completing their anti-biotic courses, leading to resistant strains of the diseases.

If you think idiocy is restricted to immigrants, you need to look in the mirror.

Exactly !! So it is coming from the Third World.

TB is spread by people coughing and sneezing. Care to elaborate how this relates to third world hygiene, as opposed to say of us being vaccinated against it?
