Jersey spends a lot more - over £10 million a year. Guernsey spends a bit more - about 2.8 million in 2015, though they have a smaller population (about 63k) than the Isle of Man, so it will be more per capita.

I felt it a bit ironic that he was a 'working class hero' given his personal circumstances . I wouldn't listen to his son Liked ND's quote , reminded me of the captain of the roman galley who generally treated the slave oarsmen badly until one day they were provided with a feast and beer . when they asked why they were told that the captain fancied a go at water skiing that afternoon.

ballaughbiker Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Quote Tony Benn was a twat. I used to think that until I met him. After that, I listened a bit closer to what he had to say and had to agree that he had remarkable insight into many subjects. However he also had many well practised soundbites that peppered his speeches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 The fact of the matter is we have already paid...upfront with NI and our employers have paid. Unfortunately people do get ill and have to be treated but there are people who have never been in hospital, keep well away from Doctors and pay privately for dental care, and still contributing to the pot. Then there are those who get private health care with their job....and they are still contributing so something is going wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
