Here the increase is East Europeans, not Asians, although a few miles
away it is indeed Asians. My point is that immigration as a whole is
too
high and we need to cut it down. So far governments have failed to do
that and even if they did at the moment, there would be a gaping hole
in
that we have no restrictions on the numbers coming from the EU.


Without looking it up, I think that half or slighly more of
the immigrants over the past few years have been from outside
the EU, so we could (and should have done already) slash the
figures by 50% without leaving the EU.

So why didn't we?

Quite. But this country has relied too long on a stream
of immigrants to do jobs the English don't want to do.

Perhaps with doctors and nurses it;s because the hours are too long
and we in the UK do work longer hours than a lot of EU wrokers.

More likely the cost of training as a doctor or nurse.

So why does it cost so much, if india and pakistan can afford it, and we get quite a few from the philapines and they can afford to train nurses up and export them to the UK.
How can a poor country afford to train such useful people.




Not sure that those who wash the bedpans etc work long hours
and presumably they have a machine that washes those.

Someone has to load the machines.


We got rid of the other practical skills and technical collges

Thats bull****.

Back on the subject you know most about are we.
