The Department of Health publishes their annual accounts on the yougov website. I can't be arsed going through it, but I will let you name your price that you won't be able to extrapolate any info from there to support Nasty Nigel's figures.
So of the 10 million watching, only you have been smart enough to think about looking to see if his statement was correct You know, and I know that if it was bollocks the press would be all over it. Farage himself isn't daft enough to risk stating untrue facts, as he would lose all credibility on his strong stance against immigration
Fair point Archers. I've had a quick look online and if you read the Guardian he made them up and if you read the Daily Mail there was some truth in it but he added his own bit of VAT. I can't stand the geezer and his 'I'm not one of them' routine is laughable. My point was more about the head in the sand spend spend spend approach of some of the other panelists.
Money he used to promote UKIPs anti Euro union message. Yeah that's really likely to see him lose credibility with his supporters
http://order-order.com/2015/04/03/nigel-farage-is-right-about-health-tourism/ Interesting article backing up Farage's claims. It seems people in Africa are contracting aids there and then moving over here to get free treatment for the rest of their lives, at £25,000 a year! I agree with the conservative back benchers that all immigrants should be tested for these types of diseases before they are allowed to come to Britain. First of all it would help stop the disease spreading to British people, and secondly it would save us a fortune.
Shergar, if you really think that boatloads of Aids ridden Africans are on their way to overwhelm us,and that only Ukip can sink this armada, then that's one scary world you inhabit. Personally I think there are far more immediate threats to our country's future. One of those threats is leaving ourselves isolated and marginilised in world affairs, which is what would happen if Ukip got their way.
All they want to do is have control of our own boarders, which I think is a perfectly acceptable thing to want. They don't want to isolate us from Europe, they want to still work with them, but govern ourselves. Trying to turn Europe into 1 big happy country is one of the dumbest ideas anyone has ever come up with. As all the country's are governed differently, so have completely different needs and interests. For example most don't have an NHS, so does this mean anytime anyone gets ill in a country that doesn't have an NHS, they'll just cross the borders to one that does, and be entitled to free treatment, when they haven't paid a single penny into it
I don't have much enthusiasm either for a United States of Europe. But we are now thoroughly isolated within the EU because David Cameron has allowed Ukip to set the agenda for his own party. He has driven away natural allies like Germany, Denmark and Poland because of his continual negativity about the whole European project. That's just bad politics by a Conservative PM who has let himself be dictated to by Ukip. Cameron was right a few years ago when he called Ukip a bunch of fruitcakes and closet racists. What a shame he's now letting them set the terms of Britain's relationship with our biggest trading partners.
Cameron doesn't have a choice as over 100 Tory MPs agree with UKIPs stance. This is why he has promised a referendum, to keep his own party MPs from over throwing him as party leader. The UKIP representatives in the EP where voted in by British people, for the reason that they don't want to be part of the Union. So they are obviously going to make there voices heard. Some of Farage's attacks on them in the parliament have been comedy gold if you ask me
The Happy Warrior will not be choking on his Easter eggs when he hears that his approval rating has risen to a two year high of –26, although he might not be too keen to hear one of his flock squabbling with the SNP on Pienaar’s Politics as he might need them to prop up any minority government he tries to form. Even Dead Man Walking Clegg has improved his rating to –32 but that still leaves Cameron as the only one that anybody wants to see as Prime Minister. Apparently, Ed’s Reds offered Raheem Sterling £250,000 a week but he said no because he wanted to win something. Depending on whose poll you want to believe, it looks like Farage is struggling in South Thanet; and he said he would quit if he did not win.
According to the official viewing figures only seven million bothered as there was plenty of paint to watch dry elsewhere. Plus ten million is not “half the country”; seven million was only thirty one per cent of the TV audience. Sorryish for being a pedant. Are you suggesting that the SNP, Plaid Cymru and Green Party numbers do not add up? Surely the Greens can build half a million affordable homes for next to nothing as we have thousands of builders sat doing nothing... or Poland does. That is why Labour and the Liberal Democrats are so in favour of the E.S.S.R. as they are both theoretically to the right of most of the other socialists. Neither of them will ever offer a referendum. We do not think that you will find that Poland are natural allies. They are quite happy to take massive subsidies off us, the Germans and the French; and send their impoverished over here to work for what we would consider a pittance but what is good money back in Poland. If Cameron stopped peddling the lie that he can renegotiate E.U. immigration laws he could wipe out UKIP instantly and get a majority government (thus neutralising the Nationalists). We need to get out and have just a trading agreement and control of our borders like we originally had. All the talk by the pro-Europe brigade about three million jobs being at risk is pure political hysteria because they do not have a credible argument.
Tony Blair says that he is “one hundred per cent behind Ed Miliband”. We are also one hundred per cent behind Ed Miliband – driving a steam roller. According to Blair, Miliband is a “conviction” politician, so Cherie must have been defending and we do not want to be doing five years. We are sure that the millionaire ex-Prime Minister has squirreled his fortunes away off shore so that the now not New Labour Party cannot tax them and he and his barrister wife do not own any Mansions worth more than two million that can be taxed to pay for absolutely everything in the fantasy world of Ed Balls economics. Everybody knows that Blair was pro-European so he does not like the idea of a referendum about leaving the failed super state but quite why Red Ed should be happy to have on board the man who started out leading the last Labour government to bankrupting the country is beyond us. Natalie Bennett says that the Green Party Manifesto will include a commitment to a “citizens’ income” that will be better than Labour’s pledge to a minimum wage of eight pounds an hour, although it is still unclear where the money is coming from for this on top of the Party’s massive house building programme and its pledge to nationalise just about everything using the money saved by scrapping Trident. How to win the student vote: forget paying for anything.
QM are you Friedrich Nietzsche reincarnate? Your posts are clearly the ravings of a madman, but they are quite entertaining to read.
No, Nietzsche is way to the left of me. So is Attila the Hun. You are correct about my postings; I am just amazed that it has taken so long for anybody to realise that I am barking mad.
We think this is getting more comical every day. The two Eds are going to do Ant & Dec out of their annual TV award by 7th May. Ed Miliband: “National security is too important to play politics with”, from the man who thinks Trident is a three-pronged fork. Marxist Miliband needs to have a word with Vladimir Putin. Get him to threaten the Jocks with nukes and suddenly the SNP unilateral disarmament policy will not be so popular. Apparently Nicola Sturgeon thinks that if we disarm, others will follow. When the SNP’s man on the Daily Politics was asked about Russia, China or Pakistan scrapping nukes or the NATO nuclear umbrella, he got into a bit of a pickle. Is David Miliband considered a Non-Dom? Will he have to stump up the inheritance tax that he avoided when he and Ed entered into a Deed of Variation on their late father’s house?
Forget the manifesto bullsh*t: Vote for the None Of The Above Party because it is the right thing to do on May 7th. We will promise to give you everything for nothing: guaranteed job for everyone at minimum wage £20, a house for a fiver, unlimited health care for free, five Trident submarines and ten per cent defence spending, more doctors and nurses than you can shake a stick at; plus no coalition with any nationalists.
Nobody said that the system was fair and equitable in the USA. Now that the Venezuelan oil subsidy has run out, Cuba has been forced to admit defeat in the Caribbean Socialist project and talk to the Yanks. If all was so good in Cuba, how come the likes of Gloria Estefan fled to the USA? We have been heading towards the American way of doing things (especially under the Conservatives) for the last thirty years: small State, much more reliance upon one’s own resources. What we really need is eugenics – cull the Chavs and stop subsidising them to breed like rabbits!
