Background

We urge the Government to restrict free access to public services, eg NHS and education, to UK citizens only. We believe illegal migration will always be an issue due to taxpayer-funded public services. By changing this, we believe we will lose appeal to asylum seekers.

Additional details

We believe that all non-UK citizens, including anyone that claims asylum should be charged for the use of the NHS for example. We believe this can provide the NHS and public services with much needed funding, while also being quite simple to manage.
