Can anyone tell me some trueth about the West?

dattguy

This is a bit debatable. Some people support her removal while some people did not. Unfortunately, it's the UK government who have the last say and though they didn't show mercy, we cannot fault them for doing what they thought was right in order to win votes.

It is a sad thing, but how many British people die from receiving inadequate care from the NHS?

The truth about the West is that it is not the Promised Land, even for its own citizens.

For all you people who think that it was wrong to deport her.
This country does not owe the rest of the World a living.
The next time you see or hear about the NHS struggling to treat a OAP, or a children's ward having to make cutbacks due a cash shortage you would do good to remember that, but if you want to be a good Samaritan you can pay out of your own pocket the next foreigner who requires free medical treatment.

it could also be said why should she have the treatment if she is not paying taxes, a Ghanian women who is not a british citizen which occupies cancer treatment that someone else may not have acess too, i understand thats a rather harsh approach but i think thats how some people look at things like this im afraid.

Would she have been better off had she just stayed in Ghana?

kemlyn

whats the problem? the law is the law! she and her family should be happy that she died in the country she was born in. if you are trying to make an issue out of her being treated badly my the nhs.why couldnt she get the same treatment in ghana? i will tell you why. because she thought she could come over here and get it done for free.thats why!

Some truth...okay. Many people die of cancer, whether they are treated in Wales or Ghana. Plane rides don't make cancer worse.

Too many people coming in.Sorry she died, but we
just can't cope with all this influx!

Isn't it a strange that Britain gave up all her Colonial Territories and when she left, those very same People who couldn'.t wait for their independence ,now latch on to try and keep as close to Britain as possible . Even if they have to do it in an illegal manner.

I don't understand what your question is. What do you want us to tell you? Any country has to have laws and rules to live by including immigration laws, which, as I understand it, this lady had disregarded by taking the risk of working here illegally. It's heartbreaking that her situation was exposed because she became ill, but what a dreadfully difficult decision the authorities had to make. Personally I think they should have shown compassion and let her stay longer to see how she responded to treatment, but that is just my own sentimental view and I'm not answerable to the tax payers of this country. My heart goes out to her family and friends, but like all of these stories there are so many issues involved.

And????? We, the general public in Britain, are fed up with these health and other scrounger immigrants. As we in England have problems getting the NHS to do anything for us why should we put up our money, that which is left after the EU has scrounged what they want, for any one else. Charity begins at home and the sooner this government threw out all illegals the better. do you think that she would have left had she not been in a place where she could have been found????

I`m sorry that this woman has died. However like many people she came over here for treatment, having not paid a penny in contributions to the NHS, why should the taxpayer be defrauded by her and her ilk?
Let charity begin at home!

I have no objection to someone coming here and taking ill and being treated on the NHS but I do have a strong objection to someone who is already ill coming here and crying foul when the NHS does not treat them.

I think we all know of horror stories of people who have lived here all their lives worked and paid taxes then going into hospital and actually dying of neglect I myself know of one case in which the neglect was so bad it would have almost been manslaughter but he had a family to take the hospital on

life is rough, isn't it?

Call the NHS what you like, but the treatment and service you receive, is far better than anywhere else in the world. Dollar for Dollar.

LUCKY

death of a child, arab, immigrant, a mother, a house pet is never a good thing. perhaps only in a sense that, that being is no longer fighting pain.

the least we should do, is pay a thoughtful moment to the one who will miss her and and the one's whom she no longer touches. i quarantee you...... when your call comes, i'll pay you that respect. even animals circle the carcass for a while.

I feel sorry!Very sorry for that poor woman!However!Can the British NHS support the entire Worlds sick!?

Badwolf

She should have said she was a terrorist who hated the west and hailed Bin laden, she probably would have been given the keys to the city

Medion

This woman did not sponge of the British people, as I understand a fund was set up for her to have the treatment.
The government make such a show of kicking out one sick woman, you would think they had repatriated a thousand terrorists.
Perhaps she should have come into the country illegally and stated she would be harmed if she went back. You could see the government falling over themselves to assist her in every way possible.

LadyMoonlight!!

We cannot provide NHS care for the entire world as well as for our own people. The NHS was set up to care for British people, not to look after the poor of every other country as well, we don't have the funds or infrastructure. Its very sad about this lady but if we allow one person to stay we will have to allow them all and our system will collapse.

The treatment she needed was available in Ghana, she just wasn't able to pay for it, which suggests that the fault lies with the Ghanaian Government, for not providing all its citizens with the healthcare they need. I suggest you turn your anger to them.

penelope_pitstop

That is really sad. I feel bad for her friends and family. I know there are a lot of you who say she was a burden to the British tax payer but if you were to read the article in full it does say that there were people donating funds to help her get her cancer treatment in the UK.

I understand she breached immigration rules but it did seem a bit harsh to deport her while she was obviously dying in hospital - These are just my personal thoughts as obviously this woman had friends and family who cared about her and immigrant or no immigrant she was a human being so she does deserve a little respect rather than the old, "kick her out now" approach which is all too common on yahoo answers where immigrants are concerned.

Yes she was wrong to breach her immigration conditions but she didn't kill anyone for goodness sake - at least try and have some compassion for the woman.

I find this story, truly shocking. An Exparte application to a High Court Judge, supported by Affidavit with Exhibits, would have been sufficient, to, temporarily 'stay' any deportation order. The application would have been granted; pending any subsequent application (Ex or Inter Partes) or appeal.

Proof that if you scratch British civilisation, you'll find a savage lurking below the surface.
