    “This is simply staggering. I have verified the source of this information as reliable, from a GP practice in London.

    On a daily average at this practice...

    - Just 8% of appointments are used by British citizens.
    - 51% of patients require an interpreter (at the taxpayer's expense), also in effect taking a double appointment.
    - 72% of all sick notes are issued to patients who do not speak English.


    92% of appointments at this practice being taken by foreign nationals - over half requiring interpretation.

    This is not what the NHS was designed for, this is not what we pay our taxes for.

    Uncontrolled mass immigration has failed the British people.”

    This was posted by Rupert Lowe who has been investigating this.

    Why are you guys on here pretending this isn’t a real issue?

    I've got better things to do than take Farage's sidekick seriously.

    Classic

    When the data proves you incorrect, you ignore it.

    Exactly what I expect on here. Meanwhile our taxes go up, and the NHS workers get worked to the bone with no pay rises because they’re dealing with all this.

    A twaXter repost by the Muskrat of an unverified or verifiable post by Lowelife. Which practice? Verified by whom? This doesn't stand up to any scrutiny without links to verifiable sources which the Lowe post fails to do. Your track record of posting incorrect unsubstantiated misinformation doesn't lend any credence.

    Yeah, but **** the low paid waiters and waitresses who serve you, the mechanics who repair your car, the people who deliver your food, the agricultural workers who grow what you eat, the millions of low-paid people who keep your country running, the people laid off a month before they were diagnosed with cancer. I guess they all made bad choices. But don't worry, you're alright, Jack. You made good choices.

    What is the source for this data? Please share the source. I think you went to school and were taught about reliability of secondary evidence?

    The same Rupert Lowe who is a director of a COVID testing kit firm that took more than £100,000 in furlough payments at a time the company recorded £7.9 million in profit.
    If he’s that concerned with taxpayer money perhaps he can have that paid back.

    He’s already donated more than that this year.

    His whole MP salary is going to charity.

    Also not liking Rupert Lowe, doesn’t make him wrong on this topic.

    You're right, of course. Being Rupert Lowe makes him wrong, on this and every other topic.
