welshbairn Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I'd imagine a lot more of us go on holiday and fall over in Magalouf than the other way around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

African Sunset Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 2 hours ago, RedRob72 said: Agree that Brexit will undoubtably impact (£) on our Health Service, but.....we (The UK) have paid out £6.2 Billion to EU countries alone since 2008, in Healthcare charges for U.K. Citizens. We have claimed back just £405 Million over the same period. The deficit, £725 million per year (fag packet maths) surely cannot be considered a minuscule amount? Not sure if I'm misunderstanding this, but surely you can't equate one to the other. To me it reads that brits use more healthcare abroad and so we pay more to other countries rather than Britain getting short-changed by £725m per year 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still a huge discrepancy no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you've heard of the phrase " using statistics in the same way a drunk man uses a lamppost , for support rather than illumination " ? Yeah sure, but it doesn't read like the £350 Million a week figure conjured out of thin air on the Brexit battle bus. I'm judging that it's a little more reliable hopefully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 And i actually meant the uda got mixed up with uvf, not surprised bigots like you are experts in the terminology of bigotry. Wonder what the uda and srd band think they're defending against. The uda killed over 400 people btw, almost all of them Catholic civilians targeted for being Catholic, purely sectarian in motive. It is estimated at least 80% of the info they used to target people was supplied directly by the British state. The UK is the most vile country in the world. Whereas the IRA indiscriminately targeted women, children . . . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
