General Brexit discussion thread

And what the hell is a future colony?

That puzzled me as well, given it is looking as if the "United Kingdom," will split up in the not too distant future.

We can and should strengthen our NHS by bringing in cheap workforce from our future and past colonies.

You really think that you are funny, don't you. The NHS doesn't have any cheap workforce as they are employed on a fair basis and according to legal pay scales.
From Jan 1st we won't be discriminating against non EU applicants, so the recruitment will be even fairer.

That frankly is a blatant Troll.

Because your comment was and is rubbish.

Hmmm might be useful if you recognised it wasn't his post you dismissed as rubbish

[papasmurf]

Another well constructed argument there Pappy.

[Nick]

Rubbish.

No. It is because in moments of stress the NHS's first response is to offer excuses and demand adoration.

Rubbish.

[Nick]

And I don't have a clue what you are on about.

It's easy Mr B: If you own 15 sheep, how many Spanish Omelettes can you make with the bath plug out.
Think he's nicked Gerry's calculator.

[Sheepy]

The NHS is the worlds 5th largest employer,

[Borchester]

That is because government(s) change policy for the NHS every five minutes.

No. It is because in moments of stress the NHS's first response is to offer excuses and demand adoration.

We have just had a minor outbreak of the flu during which the NHS managed to lose 44,000 customers and still demanded that we fall on our knees at 8pm every Thursday.

[papasmurf]

Perhaps on the front line. It doesn't stop the NHS being one of the most inefficient behemoths in existence.

The NHS is woefully understaffed. Anyone who does not know that should do some fact checking.

Staff safety at risk unless nursing shortages are addressed

Nursing is a safety critical industry and while staff have been redeployed or stepped forward from studies or retirement, the staffing situation is untenable with the profession facing severe shortages – with an estimated 50,000 nursing vacancies in the NHS in the UK alone.

Fears over health and safety, stress levels and patient complexity have all increased since the start of the pandemic, while staffing levels and the ability to take breaks have worsened.

The NHS is decimated?

Are you nuts.

In JD's case, probably yes. A 10% increase in his medication would probably do him the world of good.

As to the NHS, one way and another it employs around 3 million people, or one worker out of every nine. Its real problem is not decimation but obesity.
