SimonParticipantJust imagine, if you were elderly or infirm etc. Parked at the far end of the overspill car park by the railway line. The walk to the revolving doors of the main entrance is one hell of a walk. Then, you have a long walk, past A&E…
I would gladly endure this long walk if patients were provided with a cold drink of water.
I really just can’t get my head around this. I don’t want anyone to die in hospital for want of a cold drink of water.
SimonParticipantand why? Do they no longer have ice machines in the ward kitchens?
It’s bad enough being in the horrible dry atmosphere of a hospital, not to mention when patients are dished up tap water in those plastic jugs, and expected to drink that till the next shift arrives? Especially the elderly?
Patients are relying on relatives bringing in plastic bottles of water to give them a cold drink of water!!
SimonParticipantAlyn Waters might have got off lightly …..
So why are people down on Travellers?
SimonParticipantI know one takeaway which has people from China, Iran, Pakistan working behind the counter. It also has Brits & Poles delivering the takeaways.
And it is cash in the hand.
SimonParticipantA hydroponics shop on Chester Street?
Not far from the Police Station. They’ll be training binoculars from their windows, seeing whose setting up home grows!!!
SimonParticipantI have no problem with the migrant workforce. Just that it was too many too soon in 2004. The UK, Ireland and a Scandinavian country didn’t have a cap on the numbers. We couldn’t cope. Even today we haven’t recovered from the pressures put on housing and hospitals etc
It’s the illegals I’m concerned about. The past Labour government even admitted that they had no idea how many were in the country.
If a takeaway can afford to pay cash-in-the-hand to illegals working there or delivering takeaways, then it’s not fair on the rest of us who have to pay tax!
Takeaways and nightclubs have long been the target of HRMC.
It’s a bit like driving instructors and anyone else who gets paid cash. 1 job for me, and 1 job for the taxman.
SimonParticipantIf that’s what A&E is like in Wrexham on a Wednesday night, I dread to think what it’s like at the weekend?
As a trial, why not put a few immigration officers & a Eastern-European translator on duty for a couple of nights just to see what happens?
The people I saw were unemployable by both their appearance & intoxication. They looked like they were sleeping rough.
SimonParticipantHow many takeaways in Wrexham & the area have been raided for illegal immigrants recently?
Loads.
Relatives of Turkish takeaways seem to visit their relatives over here…and just seem to stay. One of my local takeaways has a lad from Kurdistan whos’e been here for 3-years. Is he going to go home?
SimonParticipantAnd another thing….
Sainsburys.
The car wash people. Those who work on the tills tell me that the ‘car washers’ are mostly Albanians and they “disappear and move to-and-from different branches”. They’re not even in the E.U!
They might give your car a great clean but, why are they here?Sainsburys must know what’s going on?
If Albanians can float around the UK without being on the radar, who else is here?
SimonParticipantI’ve been a patient at the Maelor Hospital for a long time now. Since 1991.
Tonight I had cause to go to A&E for a wound to be attended to.
9:30pm and A&E was absolutely full to the brim. All the seats were taken. People were standing, waiting to be assessed by the nurse before being called to ‘minors’ etc.
A lad sat next to me, with his father, had been there 3-hours, before he was called to ‘minors’.
10-years ago the population had outgrown the Maelor Hospital. Patients coming from Bala & Barmouth even.
Tonight, as I sat in A&E, every other person called over the tannoy must have been Eastern European. Really. But what really riled me was that most of the ‘Eastern Europeans’ were what I would describe as ‘down and out’. Drunk, scruffy, and in possession of carrier bags and holdalls packed with clothes, and the rest of their worldly possessions.
Can someone really tell me that these people are migrant workers?
The Maelor Hospital could barely cope before 2004 when the borders opened. How does it cope with those with a valid visa, and those who don’t?Unvbelievable
