Who frigging cares what colour skin they have anyway. What matters is that they are competent.

Your constant references to "white" people is really offensive.

Oh come on Jimmy boy, have you learnt nothing from the HOL, the EU is completely democratic

You are obsessed with skin colour....that accounts for what, about 1 percent of genes but apparently 100 percent of your thinking on the matter.

With specific exceptions If someone isn't British they have no right to be here.

This country had world class medical staff long before the decision to import the cheaper versions were taken. The statistics on medical malpractice are actually higher amongst foreign qualified staff.

Regardless of the merit of the individual, as previously stated they should be working within their own countries systems and we should be training our own....In many cases these foreign medical staff are seriously needed in their own countries and it's a serious brain drain in them being moved here.

You are the one obsessed by skin colour! Why else describe anyone as "white"?

We can argue what exceptions you think justify others being here another time but, for now, perhaps you would enlighten us by explaining why, if you mean "British", you use "white" to describe them?

In your mind what % of the British are "white"?

How do you describe those who aren't "white", but are still British?

Genetically I am 25% French, but both legally, and emotionally, I am 100% British. There will be others who genetically will be 100% African, but also are, both legally and genetically, 100% British.

Am I British because I have a pale skin, whilst those others aren't because they don't?

Is everyone who acquires British citizenship now British in your view, or only those with a similar skin tone to you?

We've always had world-class medical staff here. Just not enough to meet the demand. In many counties acquiring a medical degree is seen as a passport to a better life and a way for those trainees to help their families in their home country. The motivation to get trained is high. Some insist on a period of service locally before am exit visa is granted.

We don't have enough applicants here, or the training places available if we did. It cannot be the pay, which is high by any standards, It seems few are prepared to exist on a student maintenance loan for 7 years and end up with £100,000 of debt.

POC had me scratching my head. Around 20 or more came up before I realised you probably mean "person of colour". Which if I did use would only have been to contrast you, or some like you, using "white". It's much less offensive than "white" or "black", though I somehow doubt you will see why.

Yes, I am in a tiny minority, but that doesn't mean I am wrong. It just means that I, and those who also see what I do, haven't yet convinced people. So for the time being such terms will continue to divide and offend. One day I hope they won't.

You are also in a minority politically, but no-one suggests that you should not make your arguments. The same applies to me. The difference though is that you hope to turn the clock back, whilst I am looking forward to when such terms are redundant.
