Im surprised no one as cried discrimination with this one.Im sure the courts would rule in favour of England to get free prescriptions.Mentioned in the original post about foreigners going to Wales,foreigners must get free prescriptions and English people who have paid into it all their lives cant,stinks to me.
Wales ?
They don't like the English.
They will burn down your Home given half a chance.
They are rude and unwelcoming, and pretend they cannot understand English properly.
Still living in the Dark Ages.
Too many Welsh Nationalist bigots.
Keep well clear.
It's rumoured that Cannibalism is still rife in some remote areas.
Me too welshyorkie...born a cockney, so I keep a pretty low profile at this time of the year ! My Dad was Irish as well, so our loyalties, rugby-wise, were somewhat fraught with indecision in our family. But the best side one on Sunday, without a doubt.
They can be a bit funny up north. I am reminded of that old Max Boyce joke.
A retired couple were walking down the street in Bangor, when a seagull flew overhead and did a huge poo on top of the mans head. His wife starts ferreting around in her handbag.
" What the bl**dy hell are you doing now woman" the chap says.
"Well" she said" I had half a roll of toilet paper in here the other day"
"You daft old bat...the bl**dy bird will be long gone by now ! "
I live in Scotland and, as you probably know, we get free prescriptions etc.
But ~ I don't think that it is a good idea. If the cost of the prescriptions is being met by the overall health budget where has this 'new' amount of money been syphoned off from? There has probably been cutbacks elsewhere to pay for it.
I hope the above makes sense ~ I am not used to this serious News stuff and my brain isn't working today.
NHS costs us in England a lot for pills and now another increase, yet Scotland and Wales get freebies. I think I will get some wellies and move to Wales.
