Should foreign nationals be entitled to free NHS treatment ?
So, in addition to my other poll, should immigrants be entitled to free treatment on the NHS and free prescriptions ? When we travel we have to carry an EU card thing (last time I went abroad it was the E111) which (I believe) means the NHS will pay for my treatment in a foreign country, but when people come to Britain we just treat them, without making any claim back to their country of origin. Apart from emergency treatment, should the NHS stop treating foreign nationals and immigrants ???
* In the above poll, 'immigrant descent' refers to being born British, but of immigrant ancestry within 4 generations.

WTF is "I am British of Immigrant descent?"
My ancestors came over with William the conquerer, and they were bloody vikings in France anyway. What box do I tick?

Sorry, from my other poll here's the definition I decided upon for this...
"* In the above poll, 'immigrant descent' refers to being born British, but of immigrant ancestry within 4 generations."

these 'immigrants' work harder than the 'locals' and london would grind to a halt without them, so power to them
