I will not claim to feel that I have lost a friend. The whole thing was predictable and, on this as on so many other occasions, the Government's behaviour could at best be described as shameful.
Meanwhile they continue to provide the very best of care free of all charges to no end of unentitled foreigners in our over crowded prisons. If this woman had got herself locked up for an attempted armed robbery she would be alive today. It makes no sense to me that they insisted that she had to return 'home' whilst they keep these criminals, at our expense, for years and then fail to deport them at the end of their sentences. They should simply flog them and throw them out of the UK the day they are found guilty.
Reading William Cobbett's "Rural Rides" he makes exactly the same comment about conditions in the early 1800s. People starving and dieing for want of sensible government care, indeed Cobbett contends as "a result of Government actions", whilst those in prison enjoyed 3 square meals a day and free medical treatment.
I agree with you really, the whole thing is a farce…
However, I was incensed this morning to hear a member of the ‘Ghanaian Community’ in Wales saying that she should have been allowed to stay and have her treatment paid for… If you are such a close knit ‘Ghanaian Community’ why couldn’t you stump-up the cash for her treatment back in her own country?
I think they tried, as Uncle Mort shows, but the interuption of treatment was too much to expect recovery from.
The point is she was here legally when she became ill and her treatment on the NHS started but when her visa ran out they came over all "Hard hearted" and sent her home. I am sure there will be those who say "Tough luck" and I wouldn't be so annoyed by it all if only "they" were even handed in the way they treat people.
