Strega wrore "Fantastic news! Let's get this on the NHS immediately"

Why? So every sufferer in europe can come here for free treatment!!!

 

That’s right – you make cures available on the NHS and you’re VIRTUALLY GUARANTEED to be OVERRUN WITH FOREIGNERS trying to get their hands on the stuff. I’ve a better idea – stop ALL treatments on the NHS and watch Johnny Foreigner swarm back towards Dover! Simples!

 

Daybreaker, meanwhile, thinks there may be a way to have the treatment AND put the boot into foreigners at the same time.

More advances in the medical field can only make peoples lives better. I just wish there was more money coming from the goverment, rather than sending it (foreign aid) abroad to so called third world countries, like india and pakistan who have nuclear weapons!

 

I can’t decide which I prefer. Both target foreigners, but while Daybreaker targets the disenfranchised poor, Tom1957’s plan has the advantage of targeting people who speak funny on the bus. There’s nothing for it but a slap-up dinner!
