Before the usual brigade of people enter the thread saying "Why does it matter?", "Why can't she?" etc. my question is a genuine one. Why was the school girl who was shot by the Taliban operated on in a UK hospital? Did she have family ties here?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I dont think its anything particularly strange.
Ah yes that could be it - didn't think of the special expertise that might have been required.
This.
Will she be sent back, however, is another question.
Why should she be, so she can be shot again?
I know that for a lot of cases of non-UK residents being treated at British hospitals, an operation/treatment is paid for either by charity or by that person's government.
Yes I hope she gets leave to stay. I mean we let any bugger in these days, so a girl who would be in genuine fear for her life back in her own country really should be allowed to hang out with us for a bit.
Not sure. We may have funded it from the budget for that sort of thing if there was no other money available.
And you think she's going to be any safer here?
I suspect she will claim Asylum just as this guy has done: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20224176
AFAIK all expenses were to be paid by the Pakistani Government.
Oh great more drain on our resources, sure give her treatment if need be, but don't see why we should keep on funding immigrants of corrupt governments.
Can't be that smart if she still thinks her 'God' is that great.
Try using google before showing faux outrage.

I sometimes wonder why Jesus bothered making up that story about the Good Samaritan.
Yes what a stupid girl :rolleyes:
You must have seen a different interview to me then because in the one I saw she thanked the huge team of people who were 'her parents' while her parents weren't able to be next to her.
There sure are some mean spirited people about; I'm glad this country possessed the expertise to be able to help just as we did with that kid who got his arms blown off in the Iraq war.
Indeed. SRSLY, if someone who's already been SHOT IN THE HEAD can't get asylum, or even medical treatment here on the grounds of being at risk at home without people moaning about it, then we may as well just give up and let the cockroaches take over, because we really fail at humanity.
Or did I dream that?
Oh I hope so. I hope this young girl and her family can live the rest of their lives in safety and without fear.
I don't want anyone to feel I am taking over this thread, but I just want to ask a question, Have you seen her? she was on TV yesterday her courage and love for her 'sisters' in countries like this where girls are prevented an education by the ruling class is an inspiration to us all.
She is (once again) starting to campaign for girls to be allowed to go to school in her own country. After what happened that is quite something. don't you think?
I am Proud that Btitain's NHS was able to help this young hero.
I have no idea. If people are moaning about the possibility when it's something that's not even been asked for, then that's even more mean-spirited.
