There are serious consequences of allowing our health service to recruit from abroad on a huge scale.
Falling standards, fraud, and corruption.
It is time to admit mass migration is undermining the NHS, not propping it up as some would have us believe.
BREAKING: Two British doctors, Hamed Salehi and Elmira Yaghmaei, struck off by the GMC for running tutorials helping overseas doctors to cheat the Professional and Linguistic Assessment Board (PLAB) test, qualifying them to work in the UK (via @bmj_latest) bmj.com/content/395/bmj-2026…

A doctor in Ceuta is almost crying on live television.
Every hospital is completely overrun with migrants. Rooms are full. Medicine is running out. They even opened a dedicated hospital for migrants, and that one is full too.
Doctors are afraid to treat them.
They’re scared of being attacked.
She says when she goes home, the entire street is filled with migrants.
The parks, the football fields, everywhere. She’s afraid to leave her house.
Sexual assaults are rising.
The Spanish government has abandoned its own citizens.

Look like you’re getting your wet dreams fulfilled @Heccles94 with a load of 3rd world migrants coming to shit on your doorsteps in IoW. (Snigger)
This Is What Contempt Looks Like With A Price Tag Attached
Downing Street has confirmed something rare: a policy its own officials admit will cost taxpayers more, defended not on value for money but on principle alone. A source told the Telegraph that Andy Burnham "acknowledges that it would cost more money to do it more fairly, but that is what we need to do." No pretence that this saves anything. No claim it improves outcomes. Just the word "fairer," attached to a bill nobody has been asked to approve.
Read the same source's quote in full and the contradiction sits in one sentence. "We all want to see fewer people crossing to the UK and a decreased use of all asylum accommodation, but it needs to be fairer in the meantime." A government genuinely expecting this system to shrink does not spend extra money reorganising how it is distributed. You redesign the internal fairness of a problem you have accepted is staying, not one you are actively working to end. The sentence gives away the government's real timeline more honestly than anything Burnham has said on camera.
The mechanism confirms it. Wealthier areas are currently excluded from hosting asylum seekers because Home Office rent caps make their housing too expensive to qualify. Ministers are now "considering raising the cap" specifically to make richer postcodes eligible. This is not a government correcting an unfairness it discovered. It is a government deliberately re-engineering the rules so that unfairness can be corrected at greater cost, a fairness gap manufactured, then solved, entirely by choice.
The MPs pushing back understand exactly what has been admitted. Joe Robertson, whose Isle of Wight constituency has hosted no asylum seekers, said "self-serving political choices which cost more would be wrong on every level." He is responding to Downing Street's own words, not inventing a grievance. Dame Harriett Baldwin said her Malvern Hills constituents would "certainly not welcome thousands of male illegal asylum seekers into mass accommodation which does not actually exist here." James Whelan warned that moving asylum seekers into areas like the Isle of Wight would erode what he called its "high-trust society," and offered the sharper diagnosis underneath all of it: "The answer to a failed immigration system isn't to spread that failure across the country. It's to get to grips with the failing immigration system."
That is the distinction the government is avoiding. Fixing distribution and fixing the crisis are different projects, and Downing Street has chosen to spend real money on the first while declining, again, to put a number on the second. Burnham would not commit to stopping small boat crossings by the next election. He will commit, at extra cost to the public, to making sure more of the country shares in housing the people who keep arriving anyway.
The £2.7 billion already spent on asylum accommodation in a single year did not buy a plan to end the need for it. It bought hotels, then barracks and shared housing to bring the number down, and now a costlier redistribution exercise justified by principle rather than outcome. Every step has had a price tag and a press line. None has come with a date for when any of it ends.
A government that treated the public with genuine respect would spend that money closing the gap between arrival and removal, not the gap between one postcode's exposure and another's. Burnham has chosen the second gap, called it fairness, and told the country in advance that it will cost more. Deciding this on the public's behalf, without asking, and billing them for it afterwards, is contempt with a price tag attached, whatever principle it is dressed in.
"A government that treated the public with genuine respect would spend that money closing the gap between arrival and removal, not the gap between one postcode's exposure and another's."
Just listened to the @BBCr4today interview with @peterkyle
What a car crash!
I had to check his bio to confirm my suspicions that he had never run a business and he hasn’t. His answers made that obvious.
Why is the Business & Trade Cabinet Minister so under qualified?
Our Fawaz,
Who art in CG.
Hallowed by thy turf.
Give us this day our daily tweet.
Forgive us our sackings.
Deliver us from Warnock.
