rpg9000,
I believe that there is a HUGE difference between foreigners arriving in the U.K. & heading straight for the nearest benefits office, & boxerpetes situation where this couple are actually taking out & paying a premium for medical insurance, and then also paying for the treatment/operations, on top of their insurance premiums. When said foreigners arrive in "Easy-Street" Britain, they get benefits, & FREE medical assistance, when they have paid absolutely Nada, Zip, Nowt, F**kall into the benefits system, & can somehow get benefits for children living in their homeland?
There is no question of the so-called "young Turks" subsidising boxerpete, or any other ex-pat who takes out a similar insurance policy!!
