Re: Re downvote
Ok so going back to the article I don't think it unreasonable for someone to supply their NI number/proof of residency at point of treatment. If you can't supply an NI number/proof of residency or it doesn't check out then pass the information on as requested.
If what they are currently doing is found to be unlawful then by all means stop and legislate correctly but we can't just do nothing.
At then end of the day it is not unrealistic or unreasonable to check someone is entitled to public services when they access them and how can you claim civil rights in a society you have chosen not to join? There are going to be some caveats to this and we should have robust procedures to protect those people.
This has all been caused by successive governments not pulling their finger out and addressing the issues. I'm not just talking about the border I'm also talking about how we as a country have not done enough abroad to help developing nations other than being general warmongers with America.
