A million skilled EU workers see their future outside Britain

There is no it to as

those of us obstinate b'stards that stay alive longer.

Britain is seen as a haven for health tourists who know that GPs and hospitals will not bill them for any health care they receive. Millions is owed by these chancers including, apparently, a certain 43 year old Nigerian woman who owes £500,000 after going into labour shortly after her arrival in UK and some three months before her due date.

I have experienced no problems getting treatment from the NHS during my visits as a pensioner whose UK address is in west Wales.

NHS tourism costs us a fortune every year,i remember the filipina with the heart complaint on a TV program who came here as a "tourist" and a few days later needed a heart op,i also know a lady who brought her dad from the PI for the same sort of thing.

Oh absolutely, no question about it. But the NHS is currently owed over £150 million for the current year in respect of treating foreign patients. For some reason, NHS Trusts will not seek payment from visitors and some, so I read, won't even record the details on European patients' EHIC cards.

Here medical staff are just that: they treat patients and it is left up to ward and surgery/health centre admin staff to check that each and every patient is either a citizen and therefore entitled to free health care. has an EHIC card (in which case the issuing authority is billed), or possesses a certificate of entitlement, health insurance or a credit card. In the absence of any of these things, the patient will only be stabilised. Health care funding for British Pensioners comes from the DWP who, I'm told, are pretty good about making prompt payments and this country remits its healthcare invoices within days of a patient's discharge. The NHS here is closely modelled on our NHS prior to the advent of Trusts.

Bit late here... but as I remember it the trick was to work through ltd or other self emp vehicle and see how long it took the tax man to catch up with you... then Polish Pete the Plumber would return home... if they had sufficient cash start a business at home... if they didn't try again later using a different ltd etc.

Or then is the other trick of leasing a trademark from your off shore company for a vast fee and therefor not making a profit (or paying tax)in the UK I wonder who makes the most? The EU is about to make law that all EU linked tax havens must publish their benificerys on an open to all register whats not to like unless your a crook(tory)

That is the reason that we are leaving the EU - nothing to do with immigration or anything else - just Aaron Banks not wanting to tell the EU where his money is - that is why he hired Cambridge Analytica - Nigel Forage also doesn't want to reveal where his money is.........
