See how it easy it is for supporters of big government to use other people’s money? Thanks to Vlad for the heads up on the story, who asks: “How many brits died because the bed was in use?” KGS

An illegal immigrant who had no entitlement to NHS care has spent 13 months blocking a hospital bed – at a cost to taxpayers of £100,000. The Pakistani national should have left the country when his visa expired four years ago. He became an ‘overstayer’ and was still in Britain when he suffered a heart attack last summer.
The only red tape that should have been involved here, is the red tape that they used to gag him and pin his arms behind his back to stop him struggling, as they carried him to the airport and put him on the first plane back to Shithole-istan!
