Mujakachi’s case has received a great deal of support in Sheffield and across the UK.
The Labour MP for Sheffield Hallam, Olivia Blake, has spoken in parliament on his behalf and a petition created by his partner, Melissa Smith, calls for the cancellation of his debt and has attracted 75,000 signatures.It means you, taxpayer, get the bill instead. For someone who shouldn't even be here:
Mujakachi’s asylum appeals were eventually rejected, though he was not told whether this was due to the outstanding debt. He is now a “refused asylum seeker”, at risk of being deported to Zimbabwe, where he was born and where his father, Victor, is wanted by the government for speaking out against Robert Mugabe.
It doesn't seem as if it's that big a risk, but then the chance of him finally ending up on a plane back to Zimbabwe isn't that big a risk either, thanks to a supine Tory Party and the hordes of quislings in this country who want to keep these leeches in the country indefinitely...
If he's that popular, those 75,000 signatures could all pay a few quid, rid us of the debt and help him get better for his journey back.
ReplyDeleteThey all seem to care so much for him!
Two quid. Two quid each.
ReplyDelete"His stroke could have been prevented by relatively inexpensive medication for a blood clotting condition that, as a refused asylum seeker, he was not entitled to on the NHS."
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he was entitled to it in Zimbabwe...?
Call me over-optimistic, but I don't think Robert Mugabe's really much of a threat anymore....
ReplyDeleteThis sum, although quite extensive, is but a ripple in the millpond of tourist healthcare costs. For example, when an American woman will fly to the UK, suffering from appendicitis, to be treated in a London hospital, because the air fare is cheaper than the medical cost of an operation in the USA, and then walk out without paying, even though the hospital staff knew that was her intention, makes a mockery of the medical system in this country, not helped by the socialist attitude of the hospital staff. "I'm a nurse, not a debt collector." was one comment at the time, wholly supported by the doctors and hospital administrators.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who has fallen ill in Europe will know that anything other than emergency care has to be paid for, and the hospitals have thriving departments whose job it is to collect the medical fees, either from the patient, or various health insurance companies. "How are you going to pay for this?" is one of the first questions a petient is asked.
If no one in the hospital could be bothered to ask that one question, and follow it up, then they deserve to have the fee taken from their budget and not as an extra charge from the taxpayer.

That is a really good point. Signing a petition is cheap, actually doing something to help, too much trouble.

ReplyDelete👏👏👏

Spot on!
"Call me over-optimistic, but I don't think Robert Mugabe's really much of a threat anymore...."
Well, indeed!
"This sum, although quite extensive, is but a ripple in the millpond of tourist healthcare costs."
I wonder if the transition from NHS to NCS (National Covid Service) halted this flow last year? Strange no-one's thought to check, isn't it?

Sadly, I suspect there'd be enough to keep this parasite in the country, so I'm not going to suggest it as a real solution!
