Just for the record

[jake]

i would not have let her come here in the first place. End of.

She is there already! Would you send her back?

[Dedworth]

Very good Ded now jump a bit higher and get a response from cameron.

Lid posed the idea of questioning Cameron - I'd expect him to reply that the PakiStani Govt requested that the girl receive urgent medical attn in the UK and asked for visa requirements etc to be dropped and the UK agreed to this

[andy222]

Its not up to me is it? If it was she would not be here I have made that clear.

Ha. The question should be as to why the UK government agreed.

What happens with other privately funded health tourists ? I suspect that once their treatment is complete they go back to their home country

Another reason why she shouldnt be here. She is not a uk citizen. Her sponsor doesnt earn £18600 per year. Thats what we are told.

Maybe Dedworth and Andy should run for PM, you probably would see a change in your country if any of you win.

[jake]

I know its not up to you and i can see where you are coming from. I personally could never send her back as i know what would happen.

I couldn't vote for Dedworth as he would have everyone shot.

[raynaputi]

and being a Filipina, I couldn't vote anyone at all..

[andy222]

Oh I forgot about that I will write to the home office and get special privileges for all filipinas.

My wife can vote here after a year of being here.

[andy222]

Is it different laws over there lasltid?

[joebloggs]

what gets me is, why the gov is so quick to help this poor girl, yet Brits injured abroad or imprisoned the embassy cant or will not do much at all

Don't you have to be a British citizen, a Commonwealth citizen or a citizen of the Irish Republic who is resident in the UK before you can vote?

I can't vote in the UK anymore, only in the Isle of Man as I am resident here. My wife, on her spouse visa, is also a resident of the Isle of Man, but not the UK so she can vote in the Isle of Man elections. I checked this out a few months back and indeed if we were in the UK she would not be eligible.

This is quite useful for us as once she is on the electoral register here we can use it as evidence for ILR.

[lastlid]

Yes. Evidently so. I was quite surprised when I found out. I only found out when filling out the electoral register form here. And then phoned em up to check.

[Arthur Little]

Off topic but I got a response from the corridors of power about another issue that riles me

http://filipinaroses.com/showthread....720#post402720

or not ... as a taxpayer you've every RIGHT to be miffed about a politician being granted leave of absence [whether paid or unpaid] to go swanning off at will, to take part in some , nonsensical, "high jinks" abroad - at the taxpayer's expense - a so called "reality show" that bears no more resemblance to real life than the Pope sharing a duet with Ian Paisley.

It riles ME no end, too!!

Yes ... you received a sympathetic response from Theresa May. But does she intend pulling out all the stops to ensure there's no chance of crass, irresponsible indulgence - of the kind displayed by Nadine Dorries - being repeated? I very much doubt it! Any more than she's likely to back-down on the controversial new Immigration Rules she herself pushed through last July.

Nevertheless, the action you took in highlighting such breach of privilege by an elected Member of Parliament is to be commended.

[andy222]

Spot on Arthur.

Pakistan do not recognise rights.

Yes they do! They aren't a 3rd world country you know, but then neither do they pander to terrorists like we do once caught, they treat them like which is no more than they deserve

As I said before why didn't the Pakistani Govt arrange for her to go to one of the expertly staffed & lavishly equipped hospitals in the relatively nearby Middle East?

As has been answered before, the UK offered, and our NHS is the envy of the world regardless of the crap the Sun and the Daily Mail spout off about it

Where is it stated that we offered ?

[andy222]

If they are not a third world country why are we giving them aid? And she knew what she was doing was wrong and against the principles of the country.
