Given the Jolly Old Treatment

British values of decency, tolerance and thrift have brought another happy result, namely the death at thirty-nine of an asylum seeker who had the temerity to suffer from cancer. The Ministry for Wog Control denied her NHS treatment on a technicality, although she was allowed a backstop treatment for which she was presented with a bill for £3379. By the usual coincidence, free health care was granted a day after the Guardian contacted the Ministry. Speculation that chemotherapy at an earlier stage might have saved her life merely demonstrates yet again that medical personnel need to concentrate on their job of maintaining the hostile environment for migrants, and leave important medical decisions to the Home Office.
