Getting back on topic I find the ticket situation unbelievable ,

If you went into a restaurant and they had a deal on a 3 course meal,

BUT

You could only eat 2 of them and they fined you  for not eating the 3rd,

What would your reaction be ?

Quoted from Maringer
Incorrect. Immigrants tend to be younger and healthier (and tens of thousands of them work in the NHS) so they have very little to do with NHS issues.

The problem as clearly shown in the chart is underfunding.

We've got an aging population (even with the immigrants) so you need to increase expenditure to cope with this. The Tories haven't. Simple as that.

And Brexit (when it eventually occurs) will still leave us needing nurses and doctors from overseas. Let's hope they still want to come, eh?


If they do want to come and are qualified and speak English then great. Without the costs of illegal immigrants and foreigners claiming dole, plus the non funding of EU, as a country we will be far better off financially and will have more funding available for the NHS.  Once there are more jobs for the British, we will hopefully get back into the mood of getting jobs straight after education instead of 3rd generation dole claiming families that had giving up on finding work. We need to be patient, Brexit was never going to work overnight.

'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

Some all you can eat restaurants are now doing exactly that. If you leave a lot of food because you have been gready they charge you for it.

I would offer to eat the 3rd course for all of those involved.  Problem solved

Which is only right.  You can go back as many times as you like.  So why fill up your plate probably knowing that you won't eat it all ? We've probably all seen the greedy tw@ts that fill a plate up. Decide half way through they want something else. Dump what they have and start again.  Put what you think you will eat on your plate and if you want more then go and get some.

Only on The Fishy could a seemingly harmless thread about tickets for a forthcoming away match include a multitude of posts about:- the state of our railway system, the NHS and greedy twits at "All You Can Eat" restaurants.

Diversity in action!



The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

The questions is, will they still want to come when the pound is further devalued against the Euro and the Dollar and the price of living is therefore much higher?

There are hardly any illegal immigrants here in any case (thanks to the channel), benefit tourism is [url=https://infacts.org/briefings/welfare-tourism/]basically a myth[/url], the costs of Brexit will far outweigh the meagre reduction in costs of money sent to the EU (especially as it unlikely we will be able to remain within the free market), the number of British families where no generation has ever worked is absolutely [url=https://www.jrf.org.uk/report/are-cultures-worklessness-passed-down-generations]miniscule[/url], despite what liars and scumbags such as IDS might wish to claim.

I hope you're correct that all will be sweetness and light after Brexit finally takes place, but I'm afraid you're likely to be rather disappointed. And that doesn't even consider what will occur if much of the financial sector decides jump ship to Frankfurt.

Forum threads would be really boring if they remained on topic, especially if we're talking about Stevenage!

We could get rid of nukes and save a fortune. Also, if we are subsequently attacked it would most likely cure the ageing population issue.

Of course they'll want to come.  Leaving a 3rd world country to come to England is a no brainer.  The Euro will fall once we are finally out of the EU properly and the dollar will fall once that muppet takes over as president.  And hey, if johnny foreigner doesn't want to come, we'll still cope, just like we did before, when we  had standards. In 10 years time when the 'great' is back in Britain and we have truly  got our country back, people will wonder what all the fuss about Brexit was for.  Patience people, patience

I don't think the Euro will weaken after we're gone - we're not in the Euro! It's quite separate from the EU. It might well collapse in the longer term because of other reasons, but that won't be anything much to do with us.

The dollar is actually strengthening at the moment because the markets expect Trump is going to chuck money around like there is no tomorrow. The fact that he's set to increase the US Debt by $10 trillion is obviously more of a long term issue as far as the markets are concerned! Craziness.
