Foreign nurses and doctors no longer welcome.

Rather a strange comment on a contractor forum isn't it? Aren't most contractors working in that situation?

I suppose if it was made in reference to contractors it might be.

Maybe it's just me, but if I was buying lawnmowers and the foreign ones were 5 times more likely to blow up and kill you...

Being told that you are not wanted, and that the organisation that you work for is actively working to remove you could be upsetting to some.

Citation needed. That's just a sensationalist summary by the OP to distort what the utterly ignorant Dido Harding intends.

There's no point replacing them but we need to get more UK staff skilled up and off their backsides. Part of this would be to limit university places to the academically competent and encourage more vocational routes to those in their 3rd year at high schools.

Or just suggest to the importer that quality control on imports be improved, since the vast majority are perfectly fine and we'd have a national mower shortage without them.

No argument from me. This whole thread is more about Dildo's messaging than anything else, so let's hope she doesn't get the top job she is after. Something tells me she will, though, despite having near zero experience in this field.

I would ignore her comments. There is currently a massive influx of immigrants coming in and it is likely that immigration will continue at elevated levels compared to the pre-Brexit era. There will be a much higher number of non-EU immigrants who tend to bring their dependents with them.

Numbers, scale and the speed of immigration all matter a lot. Brushing this aside suggests the government knows the new system will not reduce immigration in the way they said would happen. Indeed, it will likely rise - not fall - as a result of the points based system.

Medical schools in India are a joke, you bribe to get in and you bribe when the exams come round.

As only a fraction of misconduct gets caught the ratio of poor doctors from the sub continent is vastly greater than the 5 times that get struck off.

It's a joke that we are reliant on them and its costs much more when we eventually have to settle the claims.

Quality control should be as is being done now, not bringing them in the first place.

Anyway, there is going to be a foreign doctor on trial soon, it will be national news, the scale of the accused crimes is staggering.

I don't know if this is them moving a pawn up the board first.
