What is the current status of visa-free travel between Thailand and the UK?

@Peter **********

that’s not your decision to make you daft knuckle dragger.

@Peter **********

OK :)

@David **********

sorry to hear about your mum but I'm afraid you're talking about two completely unrelated scenarios which have two completely different funding pots.

@Sarah *****

yeah they are.

1. The care funding pot is empty

2. The illegal immigrant pot is at £14.4 billion and counting.

Why are we not helping elderly British citizens but funding non- British citizens who are entering the UK illegally.

I bet you also support the removal of the winter fuel allowance which will see people die.

Additionally, if anyone needs to be targeted and blamed then it's the people smugglers, NOT the people fleeing!

@Sarah *****

I am in support with all you said. Sadly, it is so easy for some to hate and demonize individuals. May humanity find peace

@Sarah *****

fleeing France ? 🤡

@Sarah *****

Fleeing France? Fleeing Greece? Give us a break. They are economic migrants and nearly all men. You people and your blindness to reality is destroying this country.

@Sarah *****

young men fleeing many safe havens which have rejected them. There is not a single shred of evidence you can show me that suggests France or Belgium are persecuting them

@Sarah *****

what are they fleeing? If they were so affraid the first safe county would be sufficient. Yes the people smugglers are breaking bathroom law, so are the illegals. Most, not all, are fleeing due economic reasons, nothing else.

You need to appeal the CHC decision. If your mum is in care because of being paralysed, then that is a health need not social need. CHC is based on NHS principles; if you need medical care, you will get it, in a non-NHS setting, which could be a nursing home, or your own home. Your mother probably has medical needs related to pressure sores, colostomy issue and pain medication. Depending on her history, she may been a turn every 2-4 hours. My mother is in a nursing home, fully funded by the NHS, due to her medical needs (needs turns, and now can no longer handle herself the controled drugs due to complications due to paraplegia).

@Andy *********

Thanks but that did not work. Get the feeling that two or three individual deliberately hampered my concerns. Cannot say much as they have already breach my article 8 rights.

@David **********

That's not how a CHC review works. There are shysters out there claiming you need a lawyer. You do not. You have to be very clear abouts needs. The Reviewers themselves have no interest in pass, fail. I have found them to be professional experienced nurses. They make recommendations to the panel, who generally follow their lead. The social workers push people into it, but then don't understand the system. You make sure everything is minuted and you sign off the reviews. And you are wrong to accuse people, who don't know you, of not backing your mum because they have a different view on refugees. Do you, in general, support the work of doctors and nurses?
