Brings to mind that old joke: I love children, but I couldn't eat a whole one!
lol extractions will be free and fillings will be what you pay for.

It's not dental insurance, it's just overall health insurance. Costs me about 130 Euro a month.

Medical doesn't cover dental over here afaik. At the very least I don't think your average medical insurance does.

Ireland's does. Shrug. Dental, Opthalmic, hospital stays, surgery, after-care, the whole biz. Maybe I should appreciate it more and moan about the cost less.

(Yeah. Like that's going to happen!)

Yeah I would think that depending on what sort then the extraction would be free as they don't use materials. If it's a surgical extraction you'd obviously be paying. I can't think of a reason why you'd get fillings free but be charged for say, a simple extraction.

Well that's what they're there for, just thinking that if one is going to be free though then it won't be the filling. Or maybe it is the filling if it's a metal one and not a white one.

Maybe you can find out and report back lol.

But Wilshaw is by no means offering an olive branch to his former comrades of the extremist far-right. In fact, he appears to want to teach them all a lesson.

“I want to do some damage to the people who are propagating this kind of rubbish,” he said. “I want to hurt them, I want to show what it’s like to actually live a lie and be on the receiving end of this sort of propaganda. I want to actually hurt them.”
He was so close to becoming a better person.
