Just had a row at work about this joke.

A govrnment survey has shown that 91% of illegal immigrants come to Great Britain so they can see thier own doctor


Is it?

Jokes are supposed to be funny. Even if you ignore any thoughts of racism or whatever it's still a crap 'joke'.

Only way to find out is if I report this to the mods and then you let us know if you get infracted.

Its not racist btw, you should have spun it back at them for being racist by implying all immigrants were a single race!

Why would you think its racist?

Its a joke about immigration and the NHS

It is inaccurate as there could never be a specific % of illegal immigrants as by their very definition no one knows they are here/they have never been counted officially

Precisely!
It's NOT a joke. It's just an idiotic thinly veiled dig masquerading (very badly) as a 'joke'.

I'm very proud to have voted Labour.:dance:
Brexit, well that's on the Tories for taking people for granted and thinking they knew exactly how the vote would go..........and Ukip is partly to blame too for spreading lies like, amongst other things, ''£350 million a week will be saved if we leave the EU and that will go straight back into the NHS'' which they admitted days after the referendum had no base in fact or reality! Idiots.
