On the issue Owlswing has about so-called "health tourists" clogging up hospital A & E's.

It is perhaps time to remind him and others of the biggest waste of A & E resources. That is namely drink related issues which isn't by and large Johnny Foreigner, but is your own home grown health problem. If some way could be found of changing the behavior of the GBP in this respect then Emergency Departments might stand a better chance of coping with the real emergencies presenting themselves.

Still not much chance of that as it would affect the profits of Tim Martin amongst others.

Oh no, he's way beyond worrying about pocket change.

However it sounds as though Owlswing has a very bad problem with his feet, such issues can colour how we feel about other things. I just hope he gets the treatment he needs soon before it gets any worse.
