I'm British and I live in London. Stop with your nonsensical bullshit.

@stleonards1066 so it was OK for us to bring in immigrants from Bangladesh, India and Pakistan to help us rebuilt post being broke after ww2, but it isn't OK when it doesn't suit you? London is a Capitol city! Like all capitol cities, it attracts workers from all backgrounds! London is the financial capital of the world, with more money moving thru it than anywhere else! It is a 24 hour city that demands and needs talent! I'm not sure what your point is, exactly?

@Matt Washer mate, all my neighbours are English. The closest thing I've got to 'foreign' in my block is a guy called Tom who's originally from Manchester and has a Chinese wife! I do get what you are saying but times change, needs of a city change and the need for talent and workforce changes! London is home to over 8m people! Yes, there is a Bengali community in shadwell! So what? It's not like they're trampling on my livelihood or making my life worse! This is London and it's a melting pot of all different backgrounds! Change happens!

@lighteningsnips what do you mean 'it's no longer possible'? We've left the EU but people from the Europe can still come and work here! The point based system is a cakewalk for the majority of Europeans who come to the UK! Ultimately, the need for talent and labour will trump any referendum! We are already severely lacking in staff.

@Matt Washer my granddad was a dockmaster and I live in wapping! Utter nonsense! Have you been to wapping? Do you see how beautiful it is, in comparison to the muggy, smoke filled and totally not fit for humans to live in that was decades ago? If they somehow don't feel happy, then I'm sorry to hear that! But I for one still have my neighbours, I still go to the butcher's I've been going to for the best part of 20 years, I can commute to work, play footy in the park, take my dog for a walk and live peacefully with wonderful neighbours. Maybe I have really humble expectations!

@Matt Washer communities your grandparents lived? Are you from London? I live in the east end! My family's history around here goes back centuries! Where is this destruction you're talking about?

@stleonards1066 English speaking world? America has private healthcare. Which other comparison do you have of an English speaking country on the continent? I went to university. Worked 3 nights a week in a club and then immediately went into work after qualifying. I went up to keele in stoke on trent because of low rent. Why couldn't other kids do that? No. They're lazy. They don't want to do the nightshift and long hours. Of course not every immigrant is a doctor or nurse. That's why we have all areas of life, where people are required to work. if everyone was a doctor, who would go and pick the fruit and veg? Did you check how much of British fruit and veg goes unpicked every year? Where are our wonderful 'indigenous' kids to go and pick them?

@stleonards1066 become a minority? Ffs look at the total number of non 'whites' in the uk and see what percentage that is. It literally makes no sense. There are half a million brits living in Spain alone. Here in London, the airports are full in normal circumstances with people going to work in all parts of the world, people coming here for business visits, on short and long term stays etc. That's what makes a big and successful capital city. What has changed? I still live where I was born and grew up, the place I work is still there, over 90 percent of my colleagues are brits and the last time I checked, I'm not a minority anywhere in the uk, let alone in London.

@stleonards1066 so you'd much rather have half a million retirees instead of half a million who come from all parts of the world contributing massively to the economy? My mum is a gynacologist. Without filipino nurses, the pruh in Orpington would literally not function. What do you want? For them to come here, be neutered and not allowed to reproduce or have families?
1
@stleonards1066 ahhh so 45 percent of London's population is white British. So afro Caribbean who are British don't count? Mixed families don't count either, I'm guessing? Less than 40 percent of London's population are of people born outside of the uk.

@stleonards1066 half a million in Spain and nearly 6 million brits live outside of the uk. How would you feel if the places they live worried about them having families, despite contributing to their local economies and being good citizens? Politics?? Haha. My sister is Gp. Se did her degree at queen Mary's and also went up north for training. Have you see how many of our boys and girls want to go into the medical sector? We were short staffed even before 1997, not to mention other countries training their nurses better. Hoovering up their skilled workers? Have you ever met a Filipino who doesn't have a degree? They are hardworking and always have a smile on their faces. Whenever I go and visit mum's ward every now and then, they certainly don't act like people being badly paid or badly treated.

@stleonards1066 it's funny because I work for a so called top project management consultancy. Our head office is based at st Paul's. Would you like to see the makeup of our leadership roster? Not even a so called non white face in site. In fact, most sectors fail to meet ethnic minority and female worker targets. I can talk for the consultancy sector as I work in it. I would love it that for every time I advertise a role, if I could get 2-3 good 'white' applicants. Just doesn't happen.

@stleonards1066 where in the world is your rights are restricted to work? I worked and lived in Switzerland and over there, if you work for more than 2 years, you're entitled to benefits if you unfortunately lose your job. My sister and her half Welsh half English husband both work in Qatar. Whilst I personally wouldn't work there, they have a good life and he owns his own company providing financial services. Taking? The way you're trying to portray it is as if we've somehow enslaved them to come here and work. Where do you live by the way? Come and I'll take you to both of my parent's hospitals and you can have a chat with Filipino, Dutch, Nigerian, Arab, Turk and Iranian medical staff. She how forced they were to come and work within the nhs.

Aw yeh? I'm a programme manager working on our crumbling rail infrastructure in London and South East. Can you find me the 10 White pure blood English graduates that I need to recruit just to keep the project going? No, you can't. Why?? Because less and less of our lazy sods are actually doing relevant degrees. That is a fact. We face a constant struggle to recruit qualified graduates to do the jobs we need doing. Whether they're from Spain, Greece or a far, the reality is that they are qualified, educated, willing, hungry, eager and happy to work.

@Anon Wibble The current unemployment rate i 3.8%. That is a 44 year low. A 44 year low. Do you know how many unfilled vacancies there are in nursing? Over 40,000. So let us for one moment buy what you're saying regarding farming. How about nursing? Nursing is not best paid even at the best of times. Do you see well qualified british kids lining up to take up nursing as a profession?? Where are they?
1
@Anon Wibble I'm confused. Do you want people to be on benefits or remain unemployed? Any scheme that encourages people into work is a good thing. Zero hour contracts are not for me to decide on. The point is that in over 4 decades, the country has never had so many people working.
1
@Anon Wibble Are you saying that nurses employed by the NHS can't speak English? I'm sorry fella, but that is absolute nonsense. My mum has been working at the royal hospital in Orpington and dad at Basildon. I've met nurses from all sorts of background in 20 or so years when I go and see my mum. I've never met a nurse who can't speak English. An accent? Yes. Lots of nurses from Philippines etc have accents, but I'd much rather have than that awful scouse ahaha. Do you mean that many kids do go into medicine but drop out at university? Why are they dropping out? Getting even a midwifery is difficult. Our kids are too spoilt and have their bellies full to cope with 6 years of studies and night shifts. My sister is able to get a locum job in a and e whenever she needs to, because they always need her. And don't start on too many patients...most of the people she sees are drunks...coming in on a friday night to waste tax payers' money post swallowing a 50p piece as part of a dare. And I'm not making that up.

@Anon Wibble They had nurses who put patients in the wrong bed one of them received the wrong medicine and nearly died - regarding this statement. I don't think this is somehow an indictment of the nurses's level of English, but more so human error and incompetence. There have been numerous cases of patients being given wrong drugs etc - it's called human error. You can find much grave a examples from the 1980's and 1970's, with the culprits being our 'own' so called people and not foreign doctors or nurses. A porter trying to see naked women? So that's also an indictment of foreigners? LOL the west seems to set the standard for paedophiles. We have perverts in all walks of society. The only people who don't pay their due taxes are the politicians and those who are able to put their money into offshore accounts. Money still goes to our so called royal family despite them sitting on billions - money that comes out of the pockets of the taxpayer. If the vast majority of immigrants come and work, then obviously they're paying their due. Health tourism??? Honestly, are you being serious? I have 3 family members in the NHS. Do you know how long it tastes to get a result from an MRI scan? two weeks? Do you know how long a referral usually takes? My dad had dental work needed and he went and had it done in the czech republic because the service is better and cheaper. Do you think immigrants are coming on holiday to go and sit 5-6 hours in accident and emergency waiting rooms to be seen? Seriously, where do you get this from? I'm actually party to the system because I have family working in it so I see it every week. My sister finished her medical studies in London and she has never struggled to find a job.

@Anon Wibble Where are you?? I live in Wapping, London. I told you that I grew up in Kent. Parents work in the hospital in locksbottom and dad in basildon. My sister also works at the same hospital as my mum. Both hospitals have professionals from all backgrounds.

Which city is that? Please do elaborate.

They are the majority who do come, when they come from Europe. It is almost unheard of for a Spanish, Greek, Portuguese, Bulgarian, Romanian, Polish etc young person to move here without relevant qualifications. Saying that, you still need someone to pick your strawberries and cabbages. The reality is that our people just don't want to do such jobs.

01:44. This argument gets regurgitated so much and yet its so ridiculously inaccurate. Today, there are more people working than ever. Unemployment figures are lower than in a long long time. England won't be English? This is just utterly ludicrous. 80% of England's population is White English. The figures are well into the 90s in Scotland and Wales. Through Windrush and then encouraged immigration from the sub continent to rebuild the UK post the war, the numbers that have been added since are minuscule. These people are nuts.
