General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I've not watched the programme, but am told the lady was on a flight to the USA which was diverted to UK as she had gone into labour. She did not come here to have her babies on purpose.

The costs are so high because herself and 4 babies(Yes 4) needed to be put onto intensive care. 2 of her babies died and no doubt herself and the other two would have died if she had been refused immediate treatment.

I know some wouldn't but I'd rather have the mother and two children alive than dead. And we should continue to treat tourists when and were treatment is needed and worry about recouping the payment later. Otherwise it will just result in a loss of life. Maybe some of you are ok with this.

I'm often bemused when people say we should adopt certain rules of another country. "They don't tolerate it over there, so why should we".

It is things like this, which makes our country better than there country. We have built our own standards, laws and ideals learned from centuries of debate, disagreements, disputes, colonisation and wars.

There is no point making our countries moral standards worse, just to spite the foreigners.

This can be notched on the long xenophobic list of what foreigners do to us. Coming over here......etc...etc.
