This is a creature who has decided to fiddle her books so she gets council tax benefit that she isn't entitled to and doesn't need. Naturally I called her a benefits cheat, and said that benefits cheats are thieves. So far so good.
Of course it is, I was responding to your post.
I'm terrible aren't I? The maliciousness of saying that vision correction is not a priority service, and that it shouldn't be provided free at the expense of, say, cancer treatment.
And I wouldn't say that pointing out that health issues regarding eyes, such as cataracts or ulcers, get free treatment is a "thinly veiled jibe". I'd say I was laying on the insults with a trowel.
I've told you why you're talking shite, poppet.
You're right, I don't match the intelligence of someone who changes every post in a thread to "fuck off" just because they lost the argument.
Vision problem don't affect health? I beg to differ. Vision is an ASPECT of your health and a very important one. And while it's true that you aren't going to die from short-sightedness, an eye test could detect if you have eye diseases that could lead to blindness. And you're saying this shouldn't be a "priority"? I'm thinking potentially preventing blindness in people is a VERY high priority, or should be.
And if you WERE referring to the blindness when you said "health problems with eyes" then my apologies.
Hmm, i'm still a little unclear myself as to what's free and what's not. Eyes tests aren't (except in special circumstances), glasses (frames and lenses) aren't (again, only in special circumstances), but any treatment beyond that relating to the eyes is covered under the NHS ?
Lies! Fiddle schmiddle, I'm not a benefits cheat. Stop flinging out shit!
Why do you think this? Or have you not suffered (like me) with poor eye sight since you were a child? Admittedly, I haven't had any vision correction stuff done, but have needed various eye tests done for the last 12 years or so.
