I think that if they have genuine asylum claims to live here they should be allowed to.

If you support Reform you support the privitisation of the NHS and everything that goes with it.

It's that simple.

the trouble is, due to the sheer size of the world, those with genuine asylym claims is a large number of people. Admitting all would require even more urbanisation to house them. If 60k a year are kept there is a new town to be built each and every year. As far as I can see its been happening that way for 2 or more decades.

Being human doesn't mean being soft - practical considerations should come before compassion.

The UK imports a staggering 65% of fresh produce - when farmland is converted to housing it can easily be converted back to growing crops by moving all the people who live there into a government dormitory the size of an Amazon warehouse.

Vote reform - better to lose the NHS than lose at keeping our country from being overrun.

that seems to be the tactic reform are using in order to get their hands on the NHS. 

 

A vote for Reform is a nail in your vulnerable friend or relatives' coffin.

Is there a reason why it’s possible for most people to afford to insure their house and their car, but not their health?
 

Surely health insurance is only expensive currently because it’s not mainstream.

a quick Google brought this up for the US!

 

"In 2024, the average annual cost of individual health insurance in the United States was US$8,951, while the average cost for a family policy was US$25,572"

 

Probably why there are so many uninsured people where it isn't part of their salary package (those with less money and in lower earning jobs) and why the cuts to medicare are such a massive problem for the less wealthy.

I personally haven't heard reform as a group, or Farage state he/they would privatize the NHS, so I looked it up, and I found this below.

Sometimes you just have to sacrifice a friend or relative for the good of the country.

Seriously - because Reform wont want day after day of demos and riots it would go means tested, so just insist on being paid cash, sweet
