No. That's my point. We're attractive to illegal immmigrants because they can easily work illegally not because we give them benefits. |

Obviously in what way? I can't remember the last non-immigrant I saw working in a car wash, turkish barbers, take away, riding a delivery bike or behind the bar in the stadium. |

Read the article. "They're contracted with... a private doctors' system," Councillor Evans told residents. "[That's what] my understanding is. It's not a statement of fact. That should mean they won't be putting weight on our local [health services]." "GoToDoc - which said it had been commissioned by the NHS and would not be providing private care." Also, not to be pedantic, but these aren't illegal immigrants. |

They're not "illegal" immigrants though. They're migrants. Like it or not we've invitied those to come to the UK. It's not their fault we don't have the resources to accomadte them within public services. That's down to the tories and austerity. [Post edited 19 Nov 10:36]

I'm going to say they're not getting it becasue they aren't. They're coming here to work. Illegally, but to work. |

They are, no doubt about that, they're populists. The problem is it's all built around the culture of Farage, outright lies and totally unworkable policies. The poicy towards illegals is an excellent example. It cannot work under the current circumstances or any circumstances that Reform would implement. I honestly do not understand why people think it would work. |

He's had these batshit crazy ideas since way before Covid though, as did the Dr's and medical scientists have their qualifications and knowledge. |

I don't think one eyed bigot would look at the original report mentioned in an article, read it and come to his own conclusions. We do need political change, no doubt, but I am a bit scared about Reform gaining some form of political influences because they're policies would be catastrophic if implemented. This country is in a crap state as it is. |

This is exactly the kind of thing the government need to wise up on. It's very difficult for anybody to defend this kind of thing and just alienates people. As much as climate change is potentially catastrophic the UK can't really do much about it on our own and we need to be realistic as to how much influence we can have on the rest of the world. Nevertheless a push towards net zero would be great for the UK, at a sensible cost. unfortunately it suffers from the usual click bait nonsense in the Telegrpah/Mail/GB News and Reform. |

A differing view to those who are qualified to hold that view and absolute truck fulls of science. They're doctors and he's a lawyer. Would you let him take your appendix out? |

But I think there were at least some sensible people in the Tory party. Boris was hated by a good portion of them. Reform seems to be a bunch of idiots. Every one of them. |

I'm worried about Farage achieving something because everything about Reform is based on the same fake narrative that the furore about this report is. I'd like a change in the Senedd too, but definitely not Reform. I'm more worried that there isn't a decent alternative to be found anywhere. |

I'd love to ban the press from promoting division. The original article is just more race baiting from the usual suspects. |
