This woman did not come into Britain for treatment. She came to study. She became ill after she had been here studying. The relevant government officials have all admitted that they had violated their own guidelines when they kicked her out.

Now we have native British (white for the most part apparently) saying that because the NHS treats them poorly, it is therefore wrong that any foreigner (non-white apparently) should not be given any more than they get. The issue should be first of all, why the NHS isn't better. Second, why is medical care so bad in Africa that getting kicked out of Britain can be a death sentence. And third, why isn't anyone raising money for this woman to get her treatments. When she is dead they will all be moaning.

If Lin Homer is so concerned about the health of an illegal immigrant who has made no contribution to the NHS, I suggest she either volunteer to pay for the treatment herself, or alternatively, go to Ghana and work as a heath carer there.

Why should the taxpayer finance someone from overseas at their expense. If one case were allowed, the UK would be flooded with similar cases.

The "court change" is a shifting of power in favour of ordinary people that has been under a political silence but is on publicly traceable record through petitions 730/99 in the European, PE6 and PE360 in the Scottish, parliaments. Since 7 July 1999 all court or other legal decisions are "open to open ended fault finding by any party" instead of final.

This follows from my European Court of Human Rights case 41597/98. This case concerned a discrimination from 13 May 1997, yet the admissibility decision claimed the last stage of decision taken within Britain was on 4 Aug 1995. ECHR has made itself illegal, by issuing a syntactically contradictory nonsense decision that reverses the physics of time, and calling it final. Hence, the European Convention creates an ECHR removing the original's illegality, by its decisions not being final. It follows, this requires courts within the member countries to be likewise, all legal decisions in council of Europe countries are no longer final.
