    Funniest article I've read in a long time, pity he wasn't driving to Timbuktu!

    Let me correct that for you: Due to government cutbacks, the Royal College of Nursing only has about 20,000 places available. In 2014 the RCN reported that around 100,000 students apply each year, but only 19,000 get a place... so 80,000 British students are being turned away.

    Qualified British nurses aren't being turned away in favour of foreign nurses. There simply aren't enough British nurses to satisfy demand. The problem lies with inadequate funding for medical training in your own country.

    What are these tax loopholes?

    According to the Daily Mail - a trainee nurse can be purchased for just £43 in the Phillipines. A reporter managed to obtain certificates in nursing complete with a graduate photograph, sufficient to land a job abroad and it cost him £50. Very few Fillipinos can afford to pay the nursing course fees of between 50 thousand rupees to 100 thousand rupees per year. (£1000) Indian staff can also buy a nursing/medical degree, while others have someone take their exams for them. The number of malpractice claims in the NHS, costing the system £billions has soared in the past twenty years.
    In England, 2017, 23 thousand nurses were accepted on nursing courses. In 2016 there were 28 thousand nurses accepted. The fall in numbers is due to NHS bursaries being dropped for training which means that the students will have to take out Student Loans as all other University students have to.

    That is nothing to do with my reply to you. I'm not disputing that the NHS makes up the nursing shortfall with foreign nurses. I am telling you that they don't turn down British nurses in favour of foreign nurses.

    You said: "The NHS turned down 80,000 British nursing staff in favour of overseas labour."

    I pointed out that your statement was incorrect: "In 2014 the RCN reported that around 100,000 students apply each year, but only 19,000 get a place... so 80,000 British students are being turned away."

    See the difference?

    Not much detail there then!

    Am I to assume that all non EU immigrants were business owners? And as a consequence of your nebulous tax loopholes and company ownership laws, they'll no longer be crossing the shores to Blighty? If so, it's strange that non-EU immigration to the UK has increased of late.

    A cut in the UK's foreign aid budget will soon fix that.
    It's time to prioritise our own people.


    Orwell said "If there is hope, it lies in the proles." Whilst champagne socialists see diversity idealised at university, the common folk experience it first hand in their neighbour hoods.

    I beg to differ Albion....

    The student has to apply through UCAS , where the decision is in their hands.

    Nothing to do with Location.
