Then it is worth it John......how much does it cost to look after a patient in an NHS hospital...definitely more than £16 per day.

I don't have a problem paying for my pre payment card for prescriptions - what I do have a problem with is that England is the only country in the UK that has to pay for them - likewise hospital car parking charges and exorbitant university fees - I thought we were a united kingdom and I object to subsidising the general public of Scotland and Wales (don't know the situation in Northern Ireland).

Well, if you're a student from Northern Ireland & have a place at a Scottish University, you get yourself a Republic of Ireland passport because then - as an EU student - you pay nowt. Crazy, innit?

BBC News - Rise in EU students applying to Scottish universities

In fact, if you're an English student with a bit of Mick blood & wish to study amongst the jocks then it may be worth trying to get the paddy passport. It used to be easy, but I dunno what it's like now.
