Subject: RE: Osborne wrong: UK immigration needed
It is not me talking bollocks leveller.
It is you getting your treatment by depriving the poor abroad.
It is not just me who finds that "morally indefensible."
BBC 2005

"Doctors' leaders have strongly criticised the continuing reliance on medical staff from developing countries to fill NHS vacancies.
British Medical Association chairman James Johnson said taking much-needed staff is morally indefensible.

The BMA says African nations in particular are being damaged.

Last year two thirds of newly-registered doctors, and more than 40% of nurses, came from abroad.

About 12,500 doctors currently registered to work in Britain are from African nations that face serious staff shortages themselves, said the BBC's Mike Thompson.

And, over the last six years, nearly 16,000 African nurses have registered to work in the UK.
