Without tobacco tax revenue the NHS would be even more screwed than it already is.
Tobacco is extremly profitable for HMG and provides a significant amount of the NHS budget.
I don't know what the score is on alcohol tax versus healthcare costs but smoking works very much in favour of the treasury and NHS

Emsav,

I don’t wish to sound callous, and I hope that your friend fully recovers, but,

Did she decide to have elective cosmetic surgery?
Did she read and sign the waiver that stated that she was aware that all surgery even minor surgery has risks including complications and death?

Obviously, there it is a completely different situation if the implants were part of non elective surgery.

I am also aware that the individuals were not made aware that they were going to be fitted with life threatening implants, but this was private procedures undergone by participants who paid for it.

The company / individuals have committed a criminal act in my eyes, and I hope the eyes of the law and should be brought to account.

Moreover, once the law has finished with them, maybe something along the lines of being placed on a bacon slicer feet first, set on the thinnest cut!

Like I said before, someone in that company signed off on the cheaper silicon for use in the boob implants. They should be found, and anyone else who knew about this course of action and they should be pulled up for it.

I believe this PIP thing affects a number of women who were directed to the private clinics by the NHS, the rest are just vanity projects.

Now here a real job oppo.
I volunteer [somebodies got to do it] to tit up those ladees who think they need their implant removed.
Whilst at the same time Dr. Johnston can sort out the garden in his deep search for anything wrong in the twat department.
Pay? what frigging pay
Those Middleton sisters can be first

Personally I don't like it when wenches get tit implants. I really don't see the point....but then I do like bints with normal sized tits. Anyhoo, I was opposed to the idea of the NHS pulling these PIP tits out, but as an NHS workser said, some people end up in hospital due to drinking, smoking, sporting accidents etc, all of which is their own fault. So in the end I suppose I am in favour of the NHS pulling them out, but they should try to recoup the cost from PIP somehow.

Dear friend,

Thank you for your comments they are appreciated. Just to qualify, my friend's implants were non-elective - part of other surgery performed by our health service, not privately.

Reading and listening to the media makes me realise that it is not just my gender that is involved, it would appear that cases of testicular cancer have been found in men who have had testicular implants. Again this is something that we should take seriously as such could, according to medical journals, cause penile dysfunction and impotence. Similarly with buttock implants our health care professionals are seeing an increase in bowel cancer, especially where the implant has been sourced from PIP.

Quite honestly we have got work together so that we all know what the possible implications are, we can no longer rely on those who see us as a wallet to be emptied in their direction. My thought is the cosmetic surgery industry should undergo a root and branch review before more people die in the cause of vanity.

Regards
Emsav

Just been announced on the news that the British government has said that the NHS will remove these implants.

In which case sue the French government. If this was the other way round I'm damned sure the cheese-eating surrender monkeys would be doing just that.

European Arrest Warrant then it can be sorted in our courts. Or is it more complicated than that?

chuffing sucks but the private companys that installed the faulty implants need to dig in their pockets as well.
unfortunatly cant leave it all on the private companys as they will just go bankrupt
