Finally a useful discussion.
With all of the Songwronger bashing going about, I find that his post is both comprehensive and presents a clear rebuttal to the debate.

Whether one agrees with what he is putting forth, at least the issue is made a bit more clear and I also find that there is a rational understanding on what is clearly misunderstandings if not outright lying and fraud.

As previously noted by myself and others, there does seem to be matters that have been predicated on lies and manipulations of the truth. I don't find it surprising that it appears that this dilemma rests on all sides of your political system.

What does surprise me is that this matter hasn't been investigated further at the onset, which indicates that the fraud is more widespread than being confined to one major party or department more than the other.

As to Mr. Firth, you insist that you have been straight forward with me, when in fact you have not, unless you have actually convinced yourself that your misinformation spreading is indeed the truth.
It is plainly clear that there has been and continuing to be massive lying going on about this issue. Why in the earth anyone cannot admit this is beyond me. It is so obvious that to portray it in any other light means that someone is either hiding something or very indoctrinated to the point of being very mentally disturbed behind it.

This of course has a damaging effect to your country's status to your allies and the rest of the world at large.

As to myself and those within our company we love America and all that it has stood for. (Note in passing that I've used the past tense). We love your audiences and found a genuine likeability to so many of the people. I find that the local people that we have dealt with have been wonderful as well as willing to be most helpful. I shutter to think of a widespread scam to harm any of them.

I do not wish to stir up any controversy about what observations I've made and have thought that others, such as yourselves, in the entertainment industry would have been more objective and able to see clearly as to what is actual truth as opposed to a mere performance by bad actors.

Why this is clear to me and not yourselves is puzzling, but then I'm not the one having to make up flimsy excuses for such widespread cheap and tawdry behaviour.

I truly hope for your sakes that your system will clean up their act and you all have access to the best medicinal services to which you should be entitled. If there is criminal activity that restricts you from it, I hope that they are dealt with accordingly.

Being able to get medical help should be free of political differences as well as not limited by an industry that puts money before the well-being of their patients.

This is what the focus should be worldwide.
