What a disgrace

I saw that this morning and thought the same.

Why?

Here's the just giving page which is raising cash for his treatment.

Seems so mean at a time when money is being thrown around like confetti.

Because the person who has the power to do that is Priti Patel, part of the government that is prepared to pay all the UK workers 80% of their salary for 6 months whilst they stay at home, but the non UK citizen workers who risk their lives every day in the NHS still have to pay a surcharge to use the services that they themselves are providing, even though they already pay UK tax and NI on their pay.



The same person who as far as I can tell, put through a bill yesterday to stop low paid people coming into the country, and the very next day they are begging for UK people to go an pick rotting fruit in the fields because there isn't enough low skilled labour...- well, I won't be quitting my job to go and pick fruit for minimum wage thanks.  Maybe people who voted Brexit will do it since that's what they apparently wanted.



Alternate explanation - these people aren't UK citizens and therefore can't vote.

What is wrong with our political system when someone with the necessary power could look at this and say " this is crap" and with the flourish of a pen sort it?
