Offering Black and Asian people free eye tests on 18:46 - Aug 22 by Murph75
Harsh.
How do you feel about people driving in bus lanes and people taking photos of people driving in bus lanes?
It's not really though is it? It's not as if people need an eye test every week and if they can't afford a fiver once a year,a fiver that will go back into the Welsh health system they can f*ck off and go blind as far as I'm concerned.
The same goes for prescriptions as I've mentioned on here before,whoever the brainiac was that came out with the idea of free prescriptions should be shot. Prescriptions were £3.50 an item and then overnight went to zero,they could have changed £1 a prescription however many items were on it at least that £1 would have gone back into the system.
People blame the Tories but this is Welsh Labour that made these rules.

I just think the comparison would be interesting to see the full picture in context.
Research suggests black minority and ethnic (BME) groups are up to six times more likely to suffer conditions which could lead to blindness, but three times less likely to seek treatment.
Prof Tim Wess said this must change.
"It's no exaggeration to say that we're teetering on the brink of a health care catastrophe if nothing is done."

So what your really saying is black people are going to bring the NHS to knees?

I thought the whole point of the nhs is that it's for those who need it regardless of the ability to pay.
Of course it is.
I'm merely responding to Skippy's comment about people 'who haven't paid into the system' getting treatment for nothing, and going on to use the words 'we'll pay' when talking about refugees. Quite why people who happen to be black or Asian won't have paid into the system I don't know but that's neither here nor there.
I asked if skippy had himself ever paid into the system which is relevant given his views.
It'll be followed as ever by some crap about fascists, or superiority complexes, or him not trusting experts, or people with an education or whatever.

My father told me that too much masturbating would make me go blind. So I stopped. For a bit anyway. Maybe all the Asian and black dad's should tell their kids the same so we could save a few bob. I just wish my dad told me before I got to 34

legions of people of all colours make a decision early on in adult life to live via the system These people have children without any thought whatsoever as they know the state will provide.
Compare this with the majority who work for minimum wage or zero hour contracts and basically live from hand to mouth. I have nothing but admiration for these people and abject contempt for the former.
This country needs to provide encouragement for people to look for work , maybe provide for their future and for their family .
This country has long lost this culture.
I would add that this suggestion simply nurtures latent racists

I think that masterbation only makes you go blind if you accidentally spunk in your own eye. I usually wear heavy duty safety goggles whilst yanking the old one eyed wonder weasel and my sight is near perfect.
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
