KenH Â Â 10 #409 Posted October 16, 2007 Foreign criminals roaming free.. Â I have just looked out of my window and seen a flock of them go by. I'll have to get a gun which I will be allowed to under the BNP proposals to allow all ex-Army personnel to keep an assault rifle at home.

Isn't a quarter of 15,600 about 3,900? Â You can hardly blame the nasty immigrants for the other 5,100 who couldn't find places.

willman   10 #419 Posted October 16, 2007 But surely it is better to employ uk born doctors rather than consign 3,900 to no employment.  assuming the uk doctors wanted the 3900 posts available. they may not have been as versatile in their location as some other doctors. it may also interest some people that not all NHS patients are UK born,they may feel more comfortable with someone who has a direct understanding of their cultures.

(not a fact , just a thought)  Not wanting to bring the debate down, but surely if somebody has chosen to live here they should adapt to our culture, not vice versa, and immigrant doctors should only be used to fill vacancies unable to be filled by uk born doctors.
