Are You One Of The Good People Of Britain That This Person Is Referring To?

Retro, I disagree - you can disagree vehemently with something without crude terminology, try it..

I just wonder what job he/she has applied for and whether it qualifies for USA-to-UK emigration?

Does not strike me as being a Rocket Scientist.




She was going to be a page3 model, Meths....but the *Right On Lefty Liberals* have scuppered her plans to carry that ambition out.

No idea where alcohol's coming into this. If you're meaning me, among others, then for myself I don't drink so this ain't no alcohol-fuelled haze! The world has moved on from a narrower definition of gender. I should say "the western world", because several other cultures never had a problem with this anyway, and recognised the concept of third genders, or of crossovers between the two.

"Gender reassignment is always going to cause great debate and it is a complex and difficult area "

especially when its for a person that wants to come here from abroad and get it on the cheap ! whilst all the time we have people far more deserving of NHS services by any stretch of the imagination

[Mamyalynne]

True and I also said..........

//It strikes me that Gina is simply floating this idea across the World wide media to gauge an opinion,I doubt it will come to fruition. //

[Mamyalynne]

It may also be that she hopes some rich American sees her plight and fund her surgery.

[ummmm]

Why get your knickers in a twist? The chances of her getting the treatment on the NHS is almost zero.

If she sells enough stories she might be able to afford the surgery herself.

I love how *FREE* is in caps.

[jim360]

"If someone's home country won't help them that doesn't make it our problem. Especially as we can barely cope with our own problems."

This is fair enough to an extent, although the point is that she can't get this surgery without finding a job first, so it's not an unconditional offer of free surgery. In the case where she could hop over for two days and go straight into the operating room I would be less impressed; although the situation in the US that makes this even an idea she and others might have isn't really acceptable.

It's a good way to get media coverage to kick start a crowd funding initiative too!

[retrocop]

Wasn't aimed at you Jim. It was aimed towards another ABer who lives in La La land and likes to boast about pubs they have been chucked out of for riotous behaviour etc. How very mature. We are supposed to take their opinions seriously????

[ummmm]

Exactly Eccles....

[ummmm]

What are you talking about Retro?

[Mamyalynne]

As usual a thread descends into personal comments and observations - shoddy.

[scorpiojo]

Oh dear

[retrocop]

I was putting jim's mind at rest and answered his question.

[gness]

Retrocop has now proved why he is not worth discussing anything with.

/// "The bigots " ///

/// why are they bigots ?...
another example of the throwaway terms used by the liberal left do-gooders on here for people that dont like their dogma and brainwashed attitude thats slowly ruining this country ///

Why is it that the "the liberal left do-gooders" who set themselves up to be so caring, are always so uncaring towards those that disagree with their own personal agenda?

[Retrochic]

I wish people would stop calling retrocop 'retro' its giving me a complex lol!
