The other side of the story

The Observer reports that migrants are planning to form a new political party to stand in local and national elections in order to campaign for welfare benefits for jobless migrants. The immediate cause of this is the planned withdrawal of free healthcare for people who have travelled from their own country to get operations more quickly and at a lower cost than they would otherwise have been able to. So the taxpayer ends up paying for free treatment for nearly half a million foreigners, and services are apparently at 'saturation point' as a result.

Astonishingly, neither the Telegraph nor the Daily Mail's websites are covering this story. Or maybe it is not so surprising.

Because the country in question is Spain, and the migrants are British.
