powerdesal Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I would imagine that one major issue in respect of "burning local issues" would be ...local to where exactly, 70 rue de Rivoli but which city / town / village??????ps Pardon my ignorance (I dont live in Europe) but who is Jeremy Vine?, is he famous, what does he do?

Mik from LA Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 There is an opportunity here to publicise our case. I have made my suggestion to the Asst Producer. Bearing in mind the thread this topic is posted on, those of you who want to influence decision making, could have the subject aired on radio, live from France ( for what thats worth ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerdesal Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Many thanks for the info. ( Still never heard of him), but we dont get much UK stuff here, not even sky news and BBC World is mostly BBC Asia here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Here is his BBC's biography and here is a link to his Radio 2 show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mik from LA Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 The point of my original post was to encourage people who are concerned by changes in health care.to e-mail Bequi Sheehan at [email protected] to try and publicise the problems caused. Powerdesal, I have not been to Sharja since 1969. There was not much there then but I bet you have internet connections now. You can listen in, should you wish to, at bbc.co.uk. Personally I think life is too short for that but a lot of influential people do listen to the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerdesal Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 That must have been in the days of the Trucial States!!!!!. As you say, lifes too short, and there is a 4 hour time difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Dordogne Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Jeremy Vine is also the anchor man for Panorama - nothing down market there - and he recently did a great programme with Alan Johnston, the hostage in Gaza who works for the BBC.

cooperlola Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Sadly, they're not going to have time to fit FHI in, but they are covering the health issue so please listen in. Anybody know if this is a phone in show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Coops, has anyone told them about the specific case mentioned on another forum ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Yes, I have, R/H. I was hoping that it might help them to re-think about having us on there but no luck thus far. However, if we can all e-mail the show then maybe they'll get a mention. They have agreed to let FHI take the case up so we're working on it from other angles too.

Russethouse Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I have emailed them about the case specifically - if enough people do it may be it will get mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Thanks R/H, let's hope everybody will do the same.We have also now got the Evening Standard on their case. The couple concerned is visiting the hospital today so I can't get a quote from them. However, they'd like some human interest so want to talk to anybody in a similar situation. This is the break we've really needed so please help if you can:http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/1078532/ShowPost.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperlola Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 My response :It's a real pity that you chose to get somebody so ill informed to report on the health issue here. The ruling is being applied only to NON FRENCH EUROPEANS - Neither the French nor non Europeans are being subjected to this iniquitous change in immigration policy. Jim Murphy knows this - in fact he's speaking to the French authorities today. Why didn't you ask somebody in the know instead of this person? Poor research like this does the BBC's credibility no good at all - and it doesn't help the people who might well die when their healthcare is withdrawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grrr.....[:@][/quote] If this is not changed a formal complaint should be made to the BBC[/quote]Just made the following formal complaint to the BBCThe doctor on the Vine show has just told all listeners that changes in French Healthcare for (Non-French) EU nationals living in France also apply to French nationals. This is inaccurate. The Vine Show staff should know this as they have received a brief from me (acknowledged by them) and others (e.g Deborah Dudley of www.frenchhealthissues.eu). Jim Murphy (Minister for Europe) who was interviewed could have clarified this. He is aware of the true state of affairs, as are the EU authorities AND THE FRENCH AUTHORITIES. The new rule only applies to Non-French EU Citizens living in France. It does NOT apply to French nationals in France and it DOES NOT EVEN APPLY to NON-EU Citizens (such as from the USA) who have obtained a Carte de Sejour.!!! This information is in the public domain. Your programme has published incorrect information and basically undermined the cause of people who are fighting for continuing healthcare and residence in France. This is irresponsible and unforgiveable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
