>>i forget the MSM reason the NHS is crumbling is old people, you know the ones that helped pay for it out of taxes paid from their real jobs.
The current retired generation will receive far more from the state than they ever paid in taxes.
And the reality is no-one has "paid" in the past for what they receive now - today's pensions and healtcare comes from today's taxpayers. Every penny paid into the exchequer through an elderly person's income tax was spluffed years ago on whatever was the priority at that time.
That's the economy crippling truth I'm afraid.
Other than having babies the EU immigrants are still of an age that the NHS is barely registering them as a blip on the radar.
And the current drop in net immigration has hee-haw to do with "tough" Tory policy, and far more to do with the lack of employment opportunity since the economic crash.
