The pay disputes in smoke filled rooms (cigar and port with the Communist Wilson) meant English surgeons and nurses fled to Canada, Australia and the USA (exactly what the Labour Party wanted so that they could deprive the poorer countries of Africa and Asia of talented doctors.

I worked in the NHS at the end of the Bliar era after he'd "trawled Europe for immigrants to rub the rights nose in it'

The result? White English girls and boys have no incentive to enter the NHS, in fact the socialist/communist education system has made sure that they don't have the skills or work ethic for the NHS.

If she isn’t going to step down, then she needs to make the necessary changes to ensure those tragedies don’t happen again. Investigate and hold accountable those responsible for this.
