Perhaps the high percentage of under 30’s who couldn’t be bothered to vote will wish they had now.

The shortage of nurses in this country is due to two things. Firstly the Royal College of Nursing have been trying for years to try and make nursing on a par with doctoring so have increased the entry qualification requirement to a university degree. Secondly the government has slashed the bursary paid to student nurses so that only the wealthy who can afford not to have an income for four years can train. My wife qualified as a staff nurse a dozen years ago but now without a university degree or the necessary funding she wouldn't be able to Yes, it’s a mixture of the RCN doing what Unions do and making Nurse supply restricted plus poor Government decisions. RMNs is a particularly extreme case To remind you, this is the Brexit Thread. What are we going to do? Melt down for years would be my guess. Good job none of us will need help then, eh? Or we take the good advice from our HOL friends, that would go well.

Mind you, the retired people did turn out in spectacular numbers to Make Britain Great Again. My mother still remembers how things used to be. Or rather how she remembers how they used to be.

So nursing needs to get back to its roots....a profession staffed mainly by bright working class or lower middle class women......not this ridiculous 'degree' requirement. Those who came up with that requirement should never hold any responsibility on high level decisions again.

Edited by Mapletree (26 Oct 2018 10.17am) Yes we did because we don't care about the future of young people in this country we are grumpy, selfish and stupid Brexiteers. On the other hand some of us may have voted to leave because we do care about this country and want to ensure that future generations will have a better life. Take your pick.

Or a third option, you know better than the silly feckless young people and need to ‘guide’ them. And as many of you don’t fully participate in the economy, with pension schemes invested overseas, you can make more objective decisions for those that will live with the effects.

Edited by Pussay Patrol (26 Oct 2018 10.44am) Well I certainly won't make 50 years if I am lucky maybe 30 years still I have put my money where my mouth is. My pension is not an annuity its a pot of investments from which I drawdown. If I am wrong I am in for a poor retirement. However I didn't vote to leave for economics or for immigration I voted for freedom. Freedom for our government to set its own budget and not have a EU civil service block it. Funny thing freedom we used to be proud of it in this country I guess its a dirty word today.

On balance, it pains me to say it, but the UK will not mourn the passing of my generation.

I stand by my own opinion of the voting requirements.
