    That’s pretty racist my friend. Why is your assumption that Indians are, in your words, the “lowest common denominator”?

    That’s a pretty outdated way to think.

        Err, sorry what does GDP per capita have to do with skilled nurses and care workers? As long as they are skilled who cares where they come from. Would you refuse to be treated by an Indian nurse because he or she came from a country whose GDP per capita was lower than a French one? Grow up.

        You have to do better than to pretend your comment is anything other than racist. Fucking hell this sort of thinking is still popular these days. Disgusting.

          Coming from the most racist country in the world this is brilliant.

          India has issues I would rather not deal with until they can change. The education system is not good for everyone, it is good for the privileged few. Corruption is rife across the country. So no it is **NOT **racism, it is statement of fact. India is a very poor nation in terms of GDP. There are consequences to that.

        If they’re coming here to work in non-profit industries like healthcare, what’s this got to do with anything?

          A majority of the treatment in the NHS is privatised. There is profit in healthcare. Talk to anyone from the US about that.

            Still doesn’t explain why you’re so worried about it when it represents systematic issues and not individuals.

              I never said I was worried. I said it would be better to deal with the EU over India.

                I also don‘t get your point. Will health care workers from India be paid less than the ones from the EU? Will they provide a lesser service? Or do you think we shouldn‘t take away expertise from developing countries?

                  India would not get accepted into the EU due to the standards India maintains. In this light, I suppose the EU must be racist also. I think along the same lines as the EU. India is part of the BRICS group. Send your expertise to Russia. They need bodies a lot more than we do.

                    Mate no-one is talking about admitting India to the EU. What a way to throw a non sequitur into the mix to deflect from your original daft point.

                    The topic is about accepting skilled Indian health workers and carers for which you said you would rather not accept and deal with the EU instead. Yet you provide no explanation of why instead coming up with absurd GDP per capita figures and now EU membership.

                    You’re basically saying Europeans are good enough to come to this country but Indians are not. That’s absolutely disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself.
