The policy doesn't exist anymore Ruby. It goes back 100 years and was dismantled in the 40s. It's law in Australia that race will not be considered when someone wants to enter the country.

The media would have you believe this to aid the backdoor privatisation, but it isn't true.

I certainly hope the NHS is never privatised, many of us would be thrust back into the Victorian age

My thoughts are that we should be doing something now about Ebola and be putting proper contingencies in place, rather than to leave it until we are facing Ebola in our already stretched NHS hospitals, a questionnaire just doesn't cut it for me.

meh, maybe he did. You do get some crazies on that channel. At least you've actually watched and made your own opinion, rather than listening to what other people have said

'Ebola is a risk the UK can defend against locally
Emergency services, NHS and border staff have been meeting at local resilience forums to identify Ebola risks and to lay plans that will contain any outbreak'

There are contingencies in place, other than prohibiting people in from certain areas there's really nothing else we can do.

People are now using Ebola to blackmail people

Some people have threatened to release Ebola in Prague if the government doesn't pay 1 Million Euros or some ting.

There is really nothing new in this at all, health control restrictions have been in place for many diseases for a long time - in many countries. For example, people from those counties with a significant Malaria risk have to prove that they have had immunization injections before being allowed in to many countries to stop the spread of Malaria.

We aren't going to die though. Our government hasn't banned west africans from entering the country, and we still have no ebola cases. Screening is enough tbh.

You always speak such common sense.

Real prevention is better than PC correct BS.
